Any idea we can come up with within the simulation has to be computable by the simulation itself. Since that is touring-complete, the simulation cannot predict its own outcome; therefore whoever runs the simulation probably doesn't know our fate yet.

The purpose of life is to take entropy and push it somewhere else.

A level twist that they actually do so and still get crushed.
Just like real life.

The purpose of life is to take disordered stuff, and order it, for a time.

Life accelerates disorder through order.

The purpose of life is to stress test the simulation.

I guess we just keep on touring then.

I was referring to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_completeness
and the related halting problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem

Yes indeed, and I was making a terrible pun. 😄

The purpose of physics is to regulate pressure.

Purpose is a human concept that is not a property of the universe.

The purpose of life is to increase entropy by temporarily embodying the decrease in entropy

The purpose of life (heat) is to generate more life (more heat) in a never-ending cycle of heat generation until the heat death of the universe.
rockerface@lemmy.cafe · 5 pts · 172d
We aren't generating heat, we're redistributing heat from the stars to everywhere else

On the first frame, 'The purpose of life is to reproduce'..
Shouldn't that frame be an X-Ray of testicles, not the brain?
I think our human form is just guided by sperm and eggs, and we walking humans are the mobile creatures to carry them around...
