The meaning of life is to reproduce and/or be famous otherwise you are a parasite right ?

Otherwise you are not contributing to humanity in anyway.

    Even parasites contribute. The thing is with the economy even bad things have good outcomes for somebody.

    fame is overrated. A quiet woman down the street who volunteers 13 hours per week at a food bank and animal shelter is doing 100,000 times more good than some spoiled celebrity. The meaning of life is whatever you choose. You apparently have chosen fame as a great good. I think it's a terrible thing and only bad people choose it, and if it is thrust upon good people, it ruins their lives. So people are different than you.

    Thank god.

    Nope - reproduce and contribute

    Most things in life are down to you as an individual to decide for yourself...including the meaning of life...YOUR life especially.

    If you choose to be a parasite, that too is down to you.

    Contributing to humanity is seen differently by each of us... some of us agreeing and some not.

    Neither of those makes you human, animals reproduce, dogs and cats, horses and pigs, rabbits etc. and far more efficiently than human beings do. Famous does not contribute to humanity necessarily nor gives meaning to life. Ordinary hard work, a family you care for, consideration and understanding makes life worthwhile...
