This was first post. Where did you actually respond to the content?
A philosophy professor writes:
“I assume you’re here for The Meaning of Life?” I asked on the first day of classes a few falls ago.
Sixteen heads bobbed over a regiment of crisp new notebooks and pens cocked for action.
“That phrase is a bit misleading,” I said. “When most people hear it, they think of large-scale questions like ‘What does it all mean?,’ ‘Why are we here?,’ ‘Why is there something rather than nothing?’ The assumption is that there’s some deep order built into the universe that we might uncover and comprehend.”

Life has no meaning
You imbue meaning into your life
Why?
Because he rationally believes we were not created for some imagined destiny assigned by a higher being?
There is no higher being
We evolved to a point that we have emotions and a high functioning brain
To breath is the only real meaning to attribute to that
To exist
The real meaning has to be created by the individual
I HONESTLY could not understand his point. He addressed my post but I could not figure out what it was he was trying to say.
Then he lost his sh*t and started screeching about trolls and hurling insults. I even tried to address a point I thought MAYBE was his point. But sadly he was still too overly emotional.
But you have to understand what people are saying.This is not a college dissertation
I wonder if people then quit his class because they thought it was a study of a Monty python film?
