Your replies are very frustrating because you seem so close and then "We are how we eat. Food is medicine." Whereas it should read: We are because we eat and medicine is medicine and food is just healthy, if you eat it...

You're nearly there but instead of "Just try your best" just try and not die...

No more than a plan to avoid death. My plan is to not stop breathing... You could just smile...

Or you could just stop worrying about "a plan" and cross the bridge when you get to it.

If the purpose of life is to live and get better, what if I don't?

Sorry I missed this post. The answer doesn't change with the question... Life may seem to quest for life, but that's not it's purpose, it's just what happens when life succeeds; and no, success is not the purpose, it's the result...

You're missing the point. We're not born with a purpose or a set of goals to be achieved. You're entitled to set whatever goals you want, but there's no universal imperative to do so. There is no "purpose/reason" for life, only the arbitrary set of goals you give yourself IOW any meaning/reason/purpose to life is completely subjective; there's nothing objective to measure.

Good for you, did you forget to enjoy this experience.

There's a lot of reasons why you are you, but there's no reason to be you. All of that is goal driven, which is generally set by others; work towards this, in order to achieve this and be this; meanwhile you forget to enjoy this. Good joke... What is success (and happiness)? What if I'm happier than yesterday, but worse? e.g. I was starving yesterday and stole a meat pie. (!!!Cliche warning!!!) At the end of the day, if you can look yourself in the mirror you've succeeded in life and if your content with what you see, you're allowed to be happy...

Basil Fawlty tried to do the same, but someone mentioned the war...

Life is what it is, some learn, we all experience; and some do better than what? Life?

Whatever floats your boat. Even if you find a purpose, does it automatically mean success or happiness, what happens if you do get better? Can you relax with the knowledge of a job well done? What after you become the best, wouldn't you just worry that you may not be tomorrow?

To be...

So that's a hard pass on grannies slide-show?

You're right we need action, not foolish words with no basis in reality; that just helps the Donald's of this world. We don't need to lie, or make stuff up, the shit is on the doorstep and a golf club won't help. IOW we need sensible/workable idea's that we can all get behind.

It's not even in susurration.

Mitsubishi would strongly disagree.

The evidence would suggest it only happened once, or at least it was whittled down to one, much like the evolution of the internal combustion engine. In context, it's because they read a book about evolution (and we are here); you should try it.

Yes!!!

There is no difference. If you can't run fast enough...

We might, but probably not you or I... Because we're trying to escape, but we can't run fast enough.

OK you need to learn what escape velocity actually means.

Join a science forum and post once...

That depends on the conclusion the solipsist reaches: Since I don't know, then fuck it, I'll play. Since I don't know, then fuck you/it, give me my ball. Selfish is a different question.

And by way of proof Maybe there's a PhD opportunity zap.
