Biologists said what philosophers were too chicken shit too. The meaning of life is to reproduce.
But what is the meaning of reproduction?
Life and reproduction are co-evolved emergent phenomena that sprang from a chemical accident where a molecule inadvertently found a way to replicate itself.
… but actually it might be more complicated than that. There might have been a set of molecules and chemical interactions that weren’t quite self-replicating but ultimately led to that self-replicating molecule. However, once that exists, you end up with a runaway chemical reaction that can last for literally billions of years.
TL;DR primordial soup is an ignition starter motor.
Life.
That’s why we call it the circle of life.
No it’s not, the processes of life as such are meaningless 🤷🏼
