Well done I enjoyed this talk and I listen to a few hundred of them. As a father I can relate. May I also suggest that you add to your presentation how important it is to help others. There's been a lot of research done that shows that this is the number one way to be a happy individual. So now as a father because I want to raise happy children Above All Else, I am going out of my way to do nice things for other people with them.

If you think that there is something larger to life, then you are assuming God. It seems to me that once you consider God as a possibility, then the obvious meaning and purpose of life is to seek out and know God. And that, in fact, is an important part of the Christian idea. And we seek and come to know God by trying to obey His command to love one another for where love is, there God is also.
@Joe BloeOur human need for a life worth living comes from the unconscious mind and it doesn't appear that the conscious mind can overrule it. The truth is that there is a Creator/God. There, I've shared it.
The fundamental error lies in trying to give meaning to man, when man is merely a conduit. A biological conduit with a loose ego designed to conduct a greater force. Imagine it as a cable/conduit with electricity running through it. Man is the cable and the electricity is consciousness. Consciousness is trying to give meaning to itself. I am a set of a’ priori modes, not a body of limbs and organs. We need to move beyond the notion of “We”. Human is a loose notion at best. In essence, the body conduit has no fixed predicate in the abstract lens so the premise is incorrect. What is it of us, that knows this? Until we know more, we are a set of a’ priori modes trying to stabilise our line in an ocean of dissipating variables. We should define ourselves in this manner. We are a set of modes that allow for systematic alignment. A set synthesised with realities structures and stresses. Understanding this is the next step. Everything else is tied up in a field of inverted axioms and that path is a dead end. It keeps going round in circles. One has to look through the phenomenological lens if they want beyond this primitive, half developed monkey head paradigm but who’s really ready for that path. If you want to understand the modes - RU-vid - new paradigm fish by Yap. Stripping it right back. Alternatively- read my work for free on medium. New paradigm fish Yap.
definition of meaning: "intended to communicate something that is not directly expressed" So it is intention, communication and an intelligible message. Nature doesn't send intelligent messages. And that implies and requires God. What Mr. Testa is talking about is a feeling, only a feeling. What gives us a feeling of having been sent a message? Our own imagination. Send yourself a message and then find it and pretend you didn't send it.
When you will discover things that you have never imaginate at all you will think that we dont even need a sens of life .... but if i give you the real sens of life it will not please you so much for human being is about ask the good questions but for asgard is find the good equation ....
I hear the Manti Pageant is famous... I wonder why. Guess ill never know. You should ask the guy in the long coat. If I spelt that wrong I'm sorry. Besides he's only there one or two time a day. Ask him what the true meaning of life is. If he say it to you, you say it's everything. He'll tell you the secrets of the world well as much as he knows anyways. Go and find him if you can that is...
Imagine everything will have an end except eternity. So believe or don't believe the greater good is pointless. So what could be the point of life? Maybe some book has the answer. Bible is a good place to start looking.
Guys there is a saying knowledge is power, but I say the right knowledge is powerful to your life, not just any knowledge is good for you most knowledge is wasted time
