What is the point of anything?

[One Above All]

Meaning can't be intrinsic. The question "What's the meaning of life?" makes no more sense than "What's the meaning of blue?". Things exist. That's as far as objectivity goes. It's then up to us to attribute meaning to them if we so choose.
Here are a few questions - some you asked, some you didn't - and their answers, from my perspective.
Why would I spend an hour reading a book? Because I like the book.
Why would I spend ten minutes building a sandcastle? Because I like building sandcastles.
Why would I spend five hours playing a game? Because I like playing that game.
Why would I have kids? I wouldn't. Kids are terrible, and the Earth is overpopulated as it is.
Why would I build a monument? Because some monuments are pretty.
Why would I spend two hours cooking something to perfection that will be fully consumed in thirty minutes or less? Because I like cooking, and I like eating.
Why would I learn things? Because I get a pleasant tingling in my brain when I figure out something complex.
