The "point" is whatever you make it to be (if, that is, you agree, as I do with the tenets of existentialism.)
The message of existentialism, unlike that of many more obscure and academic philosophical movements, is about as simple as can be. It is that every one of us, as an individual, is responsible—responsible for what we do, responsible for who we are, responsible for the way we face and deal with the world, responsible, ultimately, for the way the world is.
It is, simply, the philosophy of No excuses! We cannot shift that burden onto God, or nature, or the ways of the world.

If you belive that there is one point, then you belive there is a higher power, some all knowing, all understanding, higher being because if there is one point to life than its black and white. People can choose where they want to put there heart, the point of life cannot be to produce more because some women dont have kids, therefore her purpose is different than a lady with triplets. I belive people choose where to put their resources which defines their chosen purpose.

We are likened to problem solving robots. Our job is to find conflict and reslove it. It is what makes life animate. Emotions help us decide which task is more important. Can you think of a behavior that cannot be reduced to a problem/solution equation?

where just alien food who advanced.because one of are freedom fighters bought us a bit of time and we evolved to defend our selves, so the aliens had to get crafty if they wanted a snack. made us attack each other fast food. other than that we have been left behind as slaves who helped build the pyramids which was a time machine. so we are all slaves slaving it out between ourselves.

we are here to have sex, eat good food, enjoy the company of nice people, explore the world, earn appreciation from collegues for doing a good job.
