Further to my post about Chris Langan's ToE just watched a YT video about a new Quantum Paper about the edge of the universe (Killing horizon) and black holes as observers. Really interesting stuff even though I havent the physics ackground to groke it in any depth.

🤔.... The sense of life is taking a bite of life with artificial teeth if needed ! 😊
Btw my first dog has died from a jaw cancer. 😢

In computation/information theory there's a concept called Kolmogorov Complexity, defined as the minimum program size capable of producing a certain output (think data compression). But how does one factor out random bits from nonrandom "information", for the purpose of quantifying life's meaning? I.e., complexity of human civilization measured as a "simulation" (generative-AI/GPT/LLM plus random-number generator) that is indistinguishable from "real". Head hurts?
Universe = "One collection of objects".
A collection has no edges;-) A collection is a concept;-)
In our life, the curve is following the opposit. Information is growing as we are suffering of entropy in our standalone life but also as a backuped information that grows at each generation, it increases with our species at the same the specie is going to its natural entropy limit point (extinction). Of course information should not be mixed up with experience. and one's can loose information when aging.
We also already stated than meaning of life and one's life migth be different. It is possible there is not a standalone answer but the one relative to the evolution theory (the life niche mentionned, death by accident being...accidents). If pleasure is and indice of survey (principle of pleasure and reward)), then for some, tooth whithness can be a goal. The only difference is eventually one should have the consciousness it's a trap in order to fulfill this niche.
So without minimal phenomenology effort, following envies may not be a freedom, it becomes (relativly speaking) if you beginn to understand what is the factor that create that envy ! Is that consciousness relative liberty rrhe sense of life ? Certainly not but of course for some in the meaning of one's life.
Time for a Bordeaux bottle whatever in a glass or a water pipe ! But it seems the sense of life of the specie became by ontology and seen as a whole, so meaning of Life (as an opposit of "one's life") : Information growing.
The fact is that information can survive to the specie makes it something special related to other species and maybe the only thing that makes us different to the other species rigth there... and not the constructs and transformation of landscapes and things as some believe. This is just a consequence. Some species transmit the knowledge (education) from a generation to the next but do not stock it. If the chain is breaked it's dead ! Not with us as far the signs to describe the knowledge is not lost. They understood that in antic times already : Roset stone, and all the writting printed in stones with several languages.
It could be sumarized as (a consequence) meaning of Life is "giving (collecting) more withe to the next generation teeth". Of course not understood as the Life of all specie (evolution) but as : "Human life".

Knowledge may be recorded, and survive a gap, but many skills are currently in danger of being lost, and lost forever.
If we lost technology (just the power grid failing would be enough), many people simply wouldn't have the practical skills (how to skin a rabbit, start a fire etc) to live more than a few weeks. It's also possible that books will be gone in the next few decades, then we will be totally reliant on digital copies, "copies" that can be changed without us knowing.
Perhaps the meaning of life is just to find your own path, and to be comfortable with who you are.

Yes, probably rigth for the meaning of one's life.
You certainly partially rigth seen as a specie. When the energy and supply chain collapse due to the end of ressources collapsing of limited stocks or global warming with numbers too much inconfortable for human's life : ultra-violett, and average temperature to live fine, no doubt the survivors will be the ones nowadays living in jungles and bush, the moderns in towns are calling 'barbarians' or 'savages'. For a time, as trees and the res of animals will soon collapse too. That's a big tip here, better to buy a loudspeaker than purchased survival training technic curses.

Sad to lose a furry friend that way indeed.
Long ago I came across the issue that in case of severe nutritional deficiency, the organism will ransack the body for the missing component according to an internal "list" of priorities. So lacking in certain minerals can deplete them from teeth and unless the damage can be repaired quickly it will be permanent (and worsen). Which is exactly what happened due to modern development of Western food. Deficiencies not only because of bad diet (sugar etc.) but also because of chelators like glyphosate containing herbicide. Among others they bind to manganese which then no longer is available to crops which subsequently might develop other deficiencies as a result. Next, the effects cascade in consumers: one of the causes of overeating indeed is a nutritional deficiency. The obvious lesson might be "not to mess with nature, even when thinking to understand it".
I hate the movies with heros try to minimise damage. Is it the duty of hero to minimise dammage.
The meaning of HUMAN life is evolution to immortality through overcoming parasitic (slave-owning) systems and their plans to reduce HUMAN to a level worse than an animal.

True remark! It does credit to your taste!
This is the flow of the "buy-sell" paradigm into the eternal theme of WARRIORS who live (and die) FOR DEATH GLORY, and not for self-interest.

ps: sorry for my english - I convey the idea through the translator ...

We indeed see than idioty is immortal.
Makes me think of some girls whom kill to steal a fridge non knowing they are slavered by their bully microbiote which has more neurones than their brain !

The meaning of life is the experiential discovery that after death you'll be the same as before birth, and that the in between is just a dream.
That's kind of how I think about it, Aridace.
I didn't exist for the first 14 billion years of the universe's history and will simply return to the same state of non-existence after my brief spark of life is extinguished.
Thankfully there will be no way I will be able to dream about my past life. The very thought of that possibility really frightens me!

Indeed Galu, the issue also has been expressed as "life is a zero sum game". What might matter is how the "memory balloon of events" empties. A recent (accidental) discovery was that the dying person showed the signs of REM sleep IOW "the final dream". However for those having found the experiential answer to the (still popular in parts of Asia) question "who am I?" that might be different.
