@north,
You are truth, you are reality, you cannot be 'wrong' - only if you see some'thing' as wrong.

How meaningful is my life on this planet?

Nobody before my life knows of me, and two generations after my death, I will be unknown. The majority of life on this planet is the same, but some of us through luck are born into an environment that allowed to us live a comfortable life with adequate shelter and plenty of food. Many on this planet do not have fresh drinking water, and many starve.

What's the meaning of all this?

@cicerone imposter,
If there is such a 'thing' as 'meaning', it came from You. You(and only you) denote what you call 'meaning' to whatever you wish.

@Fil Albuquerque,
'They' know what we are talking about, only they wish to play the game that what 'happens' in this life happens TO them. Fun game to play, it's what is taught on a daily basis. Nothing wrong with playing either, so long as you know it's only a game Wink - problem is most believe it's what they call 'reality'.

'You' can call any'thing' that which you wish, the definitions we have chosen only have 'validity' because we all agree about them.

@JPLosman0711,
But what is it that is not Real ??? What does not serve a function or a purpose ? What else should "Real" be about ?
What "they" do not see is the measure of what "they" will come to see...its necessary to be so...( Fresco and I are talking about this very same problem way back...we think the same and conclude opposites...)

If it serves the purpose, whatever function is NECESSARY, then is tautology True that you can call whatever you want...need its not free...

@Fil Albuquerque,
You are not what you would call 'real' - you are no'thing'. You are totally and completely at your own definition. I believe saying something has a 'function or purpose' has to do with the fallacy of cause and effect, in reality there are no separate events, it's all one continuous happening. In other words, what you are is what the Whole Thing is doing. You are a re-presentation of the Whole.

So, that which we refer to, is valid through agreement? Couldn't we then technically 'agree' about anything?

Agreed...but its the same if you think about it...what would cause be about if not about relation...I was not speaking about efficient Cause but about Final Cause...otherwise everything would transcend everything else...Communication implies Final Cause and of course as you mention above, UNITY !

You seem to be implying that which you already know......
