Read my logical proof...The meaning of life is not 42?

Question

Here is my proof:

Some say that God is the meaning of life. God is love according to most religions. In other phiosophy, God is unity, complete reality, the present.

I can reconcile both these concepts of God, and prove that the meaning of life = 1.

For example: Usually love is conditional upon certain factors. These factors being linked to what our ego needs to hold on to in order to survive. I can prove this logically:

We make the assumption that:

A) x = 0 is pure oblivion, and impossible.
B) 1 = love/meaning of life.
C) 0 < x < 1
D) ∑x = 1

What the meaning of life is not: Conditional love. For example:

"I love x"
Is conditional upon: "I do not love (1-x)"

However, if true love is unconditional:

And since: x + (1-x) = 1

Therefore:

True love = 1

Thus:

Meaning of life = 1

Or in other words:

The meaning of life is.

1 = singularity. (nature of unconditional love for all things)

0 < x < 1 = duality. (nature of conditional love of all things)

When life is viewed dualistically ("right" and "wrong") then singularity cannot be attained.

Greetings.
I think you need to go Live Life then you'll know That the meaning of Life is being True to yourself, Loving, appreciating others for the Wonderful Unique People they are as are you.Living your experiences to the fullest. So you become a more fulfilled whole Person.
Instead of trying to bamboozle people with Numerical mumbo jumbo..As you know The Major computer from "Hitch hikers to the Galaxy" begs to differ it is 42. according to it.He! He! He!
My opinion is Life = 2 of the opposite mass ie. M & F = 3 M&F +1 + more infact One could say Billions more.
Enjoy Ciao

"Some say that God is the meaning of life."

This is the grounds for the proof? You can establish what the meaning of life is by assuming that God is the meaning of life, which you assert on the grounds that "some say"? This is called the Straw Man fallacy- you set up an alternate or manipulated argument, attack it, and then claim to have defeated the original argument. Your argument cannot be considered worth anything until you have already proven that the statements "God is the meaning of life" AND "God is love" are true, because you do nothing to support those crucial claims.

Also, you give no support for your analogizing the number 1 to love. The number 1 in your proof is just a symbol that represents the concept of love. You could have used any letter or any other number to symbolize love and the argument would work the same way.

Answer 3

Fine, but what's that got to do with 42? And aren't you forgetting that 1 is a number you assumed when you began? Most important, what is your question?

Answer 4

A Nobel Prize is coming right your way.

Answer 5

yes indeed e = mc2

Answer 6

The philosophical question "What is the meaning of life?" means different things to different people. The vagueness of the query is inherent in the word "meaning", which opens the question to many interpretations, such as: "What is the origin of life?", "What is the nature of life (and of the universe in which we live)?", "What is the significance of life?", "What is valuable in life?", and "What is the purpose of, or in, (one's) life?". These questions have resulted in a wide range of competing answers and arguments, from scientific theories, to philosophical, theological, and spiritual explanations.

These questions are separate from the scientific issue of the boundary between things with life and inanimate objects.
Popular beliefs
"What is the meaning of life?" is a question many people ask themselves at some point during their lives, most in the context "What is the purpose of life?" Here are some of the many potential answers to this perplexing question. The responses are shown to overlap in many ways but may be grouped into the following categories:

Survival and temporal success
...to live every day like it is your last and to do your best at everything that comes before you
...to be always satisfied
...to live, go to school, work, and die
...to participate in natural human evolution, or to contribute to the gene pool of the human race
...to advance technological evolution, or to actively develop the future of intelligent life
...to compete or co-operate with others
...to destroy others who harm you, or to practice nonviolence and nonresistance
...to gain and exercise power
...to leave a legacy, such as a work of art or a book
...to eat
...to prepare for death
...to spend life in the pursuit of happiness, maybe not to obtain it, but to pursue it relentlessly.
...to produce offspring through sexual reproduction (alike to participating in evolution)
...to protect and preserve one's kin, clan, or tribe (akin to participating in evolution)
...to seek freedom, either physically, mentally or financially
...to observe the ultimate fate of humanity to the furthest possible extent
...to seek happiness and flourish, experience pleasure or celebrate
...to survive, including the pursuit of immortality through scientific means
...to attempt to have many sexual conquests (as in Arthur Schopenhauer's will to procreate)
...to find and take over all free space in this "game" called life
...to seek and find beauty
...to kill or be killed
...No point. Since having a point is a condition of living human consciousness. Animals do not need a point to live or exist. It is more of an affliction of consciousness that there are such things as points, a negative side to evolutionary development for lack of better words.

Wisdom and knowledge
...to master and know everything
...to be without questions, or to keep asking questions
...to expand one's perception of the world
...to explore, to expand beyond our frontiers
...to learn from one's own and others' mistakes

...to satisfy the natural curiosity felt by humans about life

...to achieve a supernatural connection within the natural context
...to achieve enlightenment and inner peace
...to become like God, or divine
...to glorify God
...to experience personal justice (i.e. to be rewarded for goodness)
...to experience existence from an infinite number of perspectives in order to expand the consciousness of all there is (i.e. to seek objectivity)
...to be a filter of creation between heaven and hell
...to produce useful structure in the universe over and above consumption (see net creativity)
...to reach Heaven in the afterlife
...to seek and acquire virtue, to live a virtuous life
...to turn fear into joy at a constant rate achieving on literal and metaphorical levels: immortality, enlightenment, and atonement
...to understand and follow the "Word of God"
...to discover who you are
...to resolve all problems that one faces, or to ignore them and attempt to fully continue life without them, or to detach oneself from all problems faced

Philosophical
...to give life meaning
...to participate in the chain of events which has led from the creation of the universe until its possible end (either freely chosen or determined, this is a subject widely debated amongst philosophers)
...to know the meaning of life
...to achieve self-actualisation
...all possible meanings have some validity
...life in itself has no meaning, for its purpose is an opportunity to create that meaning, therefore:
...to die
...to simply live until one dies (there is no universal or celestial purpose)
...nature taking its course (the wheel of time keeps on turning)
...whatever you see you see, as in "projection makes perception"
...there is no purpose or meaning whatsoever
...life may actually not exist, or may be illusory )

...to participate in the inevitable increase in entropy of the universe
...to make conformists' lives miserable
...to make life as difficult as possible for others (i.e. to compete)
