It's like...what's sustaining us right now? Why are things "alive" in the first place?

Electricity and chemistry. A biologist could give you a much more detailed explanation than I can, but this isn't a mystery to modern science.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm aware of how life happens, but it still brings up the question of why.

[(Anonymous)]

Because reality favors things that exist, and life is particularly good at existing.

[(Anonymous)]

I thought reality favored (increases in) entropy. Living things on Earth balance their energy intake and output, but what's the point of having them in the first place?

[(Anonymous)]

There is none.

Hope that helps.

[(Anonymous)]

Why the heck are you still alive then, anon? Hop on the entropy train! You first!

[(Anonymous)]

Because I haven't died yet?

Anon, this isn't a hard concept to grasp. Really.

[(Anonymous)]

No, it doesn't.

For humans, maybe, because the way human brains work meanswe are constantly looking for patterns, reasons, rationalizations of some sort for the natural world. The concept of 'why' is an entirely human one - there is no reason or rationality in the natural world. It's just something we've invented for ourselves, and something which enabled us to get ahead on an evolutionary scale.

[(Anonymous)]

You might believe that patterns/reason/rationality is completely man-made, but others believe that we are just now advanced enough to understand those inherent in nature.

[(Anonymous)]

No, no, no.

There are no reasons in nature. There are natural laws and patterns okay, but that does not mean there are reasons.

[(Anonymous)]

Then why are those laws/patterns there in the first place if there is no reason for them being there?

[(Anonymous)]

This is exactly your problem.

You are searching for meaning where there is none.

There is no 'why' in the universe. Things just are.

[(Anonymous)]

I (really) don't mean this in an offensive way, but who on earth are you to say whether or not life has meaning? No human can ever be in a position to say that with absolute certainty. Concepts like "purpose" aren't things you can just test in a lab.

[(Anonymous)]

Who am I? I am a human, an individual member of the species that invented the whole idea of purpose and 'reasons' behind anything that occurs. 'Purpose' is an entirely human concept (unless there are other sapient beings out there, which I'll grant is a possibility).

The reason concepts like purpose aren't things that can be tested in labs is because they are just a form of lying that humans employ in order to make sense of the world. They're not real things. They have no part in science.
