TheNobodyPMK And The Meaning & Future Of Humanity
In this episode of “Your Question(s) Answered,” I got 2 questions from TheNobodyPMK. His first question was…
What is the purpose of human existence?
In my response, I claim that because life wasn’t created or designed for a specific purpose, life in and of itself doesn’t have a “purpose.” It’s up to us to find our own purpose, to make our own purpose. Purpose is really just a byproduct of our psychology and is not an inherent property of existence, or life in general.
His second question was…
If we as a species were forced to leave this planet and go colonize on another planet would that be immoral? Unnatural? Are we even intelligent enough to not make the same mistakes we made on this planet?
This question occupied the bulk of my response to him. I claim that humans aren’t intelligent enough to avoid the same mistakes we’ve made in the past. Not only that, but that due to the very nature of existence, struggle and strife are the very basis upon which survival rests.
In terms of the moral question, not only do I think that it wouldn’t be an immoral decision to occupy another planet, but I believe the opposite to be true. It would be immoral not to seek out new planets to colonize. The bottom line is that our planet Earth is going to run out of resources, and if we do nothing to solve that problem, we are at fault for not fixing it. Not fixing it will only lead to mass suffering.

That’s all.
