Do you think that unlike humans, they actually know the meaning of their existence?
Obviously there's now way for us to know, so I'm not looking for facts, just opinions. I myself don't really have one, this is something that I was randomly thinking about while I was half awake this morning.
-
Probably not. Figuring out the meaning of your existence implies that there is a meaning to begin with.
-
I don't believe an advanced extra terrestrial civilization would have found any meaning to existence. In fact, I would say they would have most likely discovered that existence just 'is' and that meaning is nothing more than a condition of the ego through which all sentient beings interpret our universe. There is nothing inherent about 'meaning.'
-
I can't imagine that they would. That would imply that as a sentient being with free will it is possible for us to have a purpose. It's hard to assume that we both have (truly) free will and that we also have a determined purpose in the universe. Same for any (assumed to be humanoid) alien creatures.
-
No, but depending on how advanced they are they may have given themselves a purpose.
-
The only meaning is to reproduce and then die to make room. That's it. That's why you're her. That's why they'd be here.
-
There is no meaning to an accident.

The meaning of life... is to enjoy it. Humans:makes eachothers lives miserable
