1. What's the point of life? Do we have a reason for living we must fulfill?
Yes, it’s obvious to me that if you consider the basics of biological (mostly ecological) science and evolution to be true, then a great sense of meaning exists for people. What I note is that every animal has a niche, and if it falls out of its niche its will either find a new one or die out. Humans are no exception. We exist because we have a very specific purpose. I could go more in depth but that would lead this into an abstract tangent.
2. What's right and what's wrong? Is there such a thing as right and wrong?
Yes right and wrong exist, they too are obvious. People think in memes (a meme is anything that replicates examples- DNA and thoughts) when thoughts are replicated they need a starting person and a receiving person. Say for instance killing someone, it is wrong because you break a fundamental rule of this replication cycle, where you lose thoughts, which are important to us. Think about it in the sense of killing another is simply killing part of yourself. (Information lost)
3. What is normal and what isn't?
Normal is whatever we perceive it to be. Each person has their own dependent reality. I used to eat cereal for breakfast, but for several years now I have been eating leftover from dinner for breakfast. (I prefer a savory meal that will leave me full longer then cereals) Eating cereal now would be abnormal. Why? It breaks my trend of behavior. Normal is something commonly done as a theme, without it being varying a lot. If you see something out of the “normal” theme of things you see or do everyday it’s no longer normal. This set of rules is different for everybody.
4. What is happiness? What is sadness? How do you know the difference? To put this in the scary science way, they are chemicals in your brain. It’s fairly obvious that humans are more complex then chemical equations though (this goes back to the memes) and emotions are responses to things around us. Memes tell us who we are. Not all memes are good and the ones we enjoy make life drastically more complex.
If a computer is told something that ruins is process of running (broken script) it simply stops running entirely. We instead can get sad. There is a big difference in the responses and that is because even if we can’t quantify a solution we continue anyways. This is because things are important to us, and as I said before are complex.
This is the best I can describe the answers I have found to this myself. Please ask if you need me to explain.
