Yes, but the what in the goddamn fuck is spread through so many scientific fields.

Who: biology What: chemistry When: physics Where: geology, archeology Why? Philosophy

All these fields just because the universe exists. kind of beautiful if you ask me.

One could argue that the purpose of life is self knowledge. As a part of the universe, we are driven to understand it. More recently, we know that self exploration through therapy resolves emotional traumas. Travel and exposure to other cultures tends to create compassion for them.

I like to think of life as the universe reaching out and trying to know itself
