The meaning of life is to give life meaning, just as the purpose of life is to give life purpose.

The meaning of life is to give life ;meaning, just as the purpose of life is to give life purpose.
I presume when they say 'life' they mean all life not just human life. So what meaning to life is an ant or spider who crawls around on the earth only to be stamped to death by a human meant to give exactly.

Whew, that's it? They should post this in maternity wards so that new borns would get it isntantly and not be worried w looking for it for decades. Gumby will be happy to learn this. He'll get so contented, we'll never hear from him again, just a splif toking bump on a log from here on.

Hello Lime
I mean human life. I merely ass-umed (something I should never do) that it would be understood. Since human life has no objecrtive meaning or purpose, we must decide our meaning and purpose at all levels and in all facets.

Hi TS
Whomever owns this board has restricted my posts to twenty-five in a 48 hour period, and 1 topic in a 48 hour period. A not-so-subtle hint to vamoose. So I am being careful in my replies so I dont run out quickly.

I think that's an excellent suggestion, especialy now with the new Lamaze Prebirth Reading Method. www.lamaze.org/
Thirty years of research and experimentation has finally produced a method by which infants can be born with the rudiments of reading already part of the hard-wiring of the brain. The program involves an intensive regimen of tapes or CD's to be played to the unborn child, but at a frequency level that oscillates between 5 hertz and .3 hertz, or below the threshold of human hearing. The low frequency sets up a sympathetic vibration in the neurotransmitter receptors which then develop an "instinctive" set of electrochemical responses response when confronted by the same stimulii in printed form. In other words, after birth, the child already "knows" the material and it's simply a matter of bringing the appropriate sections of the brain "online" rather than actually having to learn, or encode this information afresh. Children as young as nine months are reading on a third grade level with a commensurate vocabulary.
Dr Freidrich Mueller of the Max Planck Institute, working in conjunction with a grant from Lamaze, is soon to go public with not just this information, but with the entire program itself. It's expected to revolutionize learning, because this method can also be used (to a lesser degree of success) once the child has been born, to learn other materials such as writing and mathematics and other difficult but fundamental building blocks of learning.

Not.
