The meaning of life is to increase fitness

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the quick answer to this fundamental question. In order to start giving the long answer, we should first examine each of the key terms in this sentence:
meaning:
a very complex concept which can have many interpretations. In this context we will assume it signifies the "why" (origin - past) or "wherefore" (purpose - future) of life, but in a way our answer also may explain us the "what" (definition - present).
life:
in this context it normally means our present being here on earth, but this may be generalized to include life as a particular type of organization and development characterizing biological organisms, and even more universally as organization and development in general.
fitness:
intuitively, a system, configuration or "state-of-affairs" is fit if it is likely that that configuration will still be around in the future. The more likely we are to encounter that system, the more fit it is. Though there are many ways to be fit, depending on the exact situation, we may say that fit systems tend to be intrinsically stable, adapted and adapting to their surroundings, capable of further growth and development, and/or capable of being (re)produced in great quantities.
Fitness is the most important and tricky term of the answer to define. It can only be defined in terms which are not obvious themselves, and so need further definitions, and so on. One can hope that after a few rounds of definitions, the meaning will become sufficiently intuitive to be satisfactory for most readers. The whole of Principia Cybernetica Web can be viewed as an attempt to provide a sufficiently extensive semantic networks of concepts clarifying concepts (such as "fitness").

increase:
this should be obvious enough. The use of the term "increase" implies that the concept to which it is attributed, "fitness", is to some degree quantifiable (see e.g. a definition in terms of transition probabilities). Note, however, that it is everything but obvious how to do this: fitness is difficult to measure, and is relative, depending on situation, environment and moment in time. At the very least, we assume that there exists a partial ordering, i.e. some configurations are more fit than others. A more general form of the answer is "not to decrease fitness": in some circumstances it may be good enough to keep fitness the way it is. Increase of fitness determines a preferred direction of evolution.

Answer 3

The meaning of life can have many different answers, but the point of life, to me anyways, is to live and fulfill until you feel you have lived your own life to what you think is your very best. We all do have a purpose, so don't give up so soon.

Answer 4

Life means living. Living does not mean merely existing, as animals do. Animals exist whereas man alone lives. What is that which distinguishes a man from an animal is that he has a free will which he may use to make and unmake his destiny. Enterprise and an indomitable spirit to realise his divine potential are the hall mark of man.

Answer 5

That other guy's right. It's 42. That's not up for debate, so pick one of us as best answer, think about 42 and how it might be the means of life, and then you will see. The number 42.

Answer 6

42

Answer 7

The meaning of life? What you perceive it to be. You have the universe within you and you control it as it drives you. Make sure that you make a wise, humble and humanitarian decision.

Answer 8

The 'means' to life is money.
The 'meaning' of life is oximoronic.
Like, is there meaning in death?
I don't think so.
Don't worry, you'll die in the end, like all the rest of us.
Be happy till then - do whatever it takes. You won't regret it.

Answer 9

every person live in this world, can't live without a meaning, even you, I or we. We live in this world to dominate good deeds. Not only by wars. For me the meaning in my life is to arouse many people who are now in vain and desperate to live in this world.

Answer 10

Life does not possess any intrinsic meaning; the only meaning life has is that which we give it.
