How to become a God, in 3 simple steps (absent faith/belief):

Without opinions there is more room between your ears. More room to increase font size.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!

I think someone ought to stop trying to be a god and focus more on trying to be a human.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

What is your goal, and what makes it the best goal, without appealing to any subjective value judgement?

Such is quite the excellent query.

It is likely that life's meaning arises amidst thermodynamics.

Separately, life perhaps exists, such that matter shall manifest as some disparate time-space complex optimal fabric, on the order of algorithmic analysis.

Thank you Smile

That doesn't answer the question of what the goal should be though, as far as I can see. That appears to be simply defining the meaning of life to be a certain thing. "Meaning" is not a well-defined function of reality; or if it is, someone has arbitrarily and uselessly made it so.

Nonsense. 

NOTE: Meaning is a synonym par definition.

Separately, meanings that appropriately represent reality, shan't persist "arbitrarily uselessly".

Sample: The meanings of particles, are encoded amidst quantum mechanics. (Quantum mechanics has ironically engendered the device that you used to scribe your sillily expressed stipulation)

('B')

Life's likely purpose/goal is postulated amidst the priorly stipulated sources, of mine, on the horizon of scientifically observed, objective sequences.

It is quite likely, that you possess not, any description of life's goal, beyond mere disregard of the prior sources. (On the boundary of said solely expressed disregard)

Have you any description of life's goal, beyond mere disregard of the prior sources?

Whatever wise msg you want to share, if you use such "robotic" writing style, people will see you as mentally ill person.

Its highly unlikely that you will increase your life expectancy, so don't act so weird, as if your already a human mind powered by the technological body, you sound like a nut, if anything.

Spend some money on psychiatrist or talk with Buddhists or other peaceful believers. It might help.

Such is quite the oddity; for in contrast, the use of standard, formal English, postulates of one's likely cognitively non sub-par nature.

('B')

Albeit, the comment of latest, of yours, alters not the probability, that you have not any description of life's goal, beyond mere disregard, of the aforesaid sources of mine.

Erm...

Okay. Maybe try talking like a human? It would make this easier. Try being less arrogant and dismissive too. You're still just trying to tell me what my goal should be, which is just your opinion of what it should be. You can't calculate a goal, that is circular. If you do, you've already picked the goal of the goal, so to speak.

Incorrect.

This thread is but absent voiced language.
This thread rather entails written language.
