The Meaning of Life

To uncover the meaning of life, one must first clarify the question being asked. Is it the reason for one's own existence? Any proposed reason can itself be questioned, leading to an infinite regress where no reason can ultimately be accepted. Thus, "meaning" is the more appropriate term to use.

To discover the meaning of life, we must then understand what life is. Life is a form of existence, characterized by complexity. Human life, in particular, exhibits a high degree of complexity. Over time, life tends to increase in complexity.

Therefore, the meaning of life could be understood as the pursuit and enhancement of complexity.
