Is this the meaning of life? Despite the perception that science has stripped the meaning from life, recent developments in evolutionary theory suggest that humans have a central role to play in the future of the universe.

Very good answer.

But still, why expand? Why the need to win the game of evolution? Why go on with intelligence/life/consciousness?

If I may suggest a reading, this book:

Tiger got to hunt,

Bird got to fly;

Man got to sit and wonder, “Why, why, why?”

Tiger got to sleep,

Bird got to land;

Man got to tell himself he understand.

by Kurt Vonnegut (November 11, 1922 – April 11, 2007) from Cat’s Cradle (1963) Chapter 81

Have you ever been to Berlin? There is a sense of guilty. You can breathe it on the city. There are monuments and indications to everything that happened in less than 70 years ago. And I'm sorry, I do think that's nothing wrong with it.

There were certainly terrible tragedies committed by both sides, but the Germans exceeded a bit on it. Specially with all the arian race shit they bought from Hitler.

Reddit, pause for a moment and delight in the beauty of our existence, of our human consciousness. Contemplate that we're stardust contemplating more stardust.

The most amazing thing is that we are made out of matter. Just like a rock is made out of matter. We are all made out of atoms. But for some still unknown reason, the higher complexity of the atoms on our brain allows for a very very very brief and intense existence of a consciousness that is able to contemplate a rock, while the rock does not contemplate us.

Guilty smoker here. I hate having to do it but many times there is no choice.

This. I was a smoker, and it's not that difficult.
