Intellectual discussion the meaning of life

I asked a question what's the meaning of life? Now my answer would be to live, learn, procreate and pass on the knowledge you learned in this life to the next life, through your cells which I might add records information from all throughout your life and stores them in the cells ( this has been proven as our DNA still has information from our ancient ancestors down to the first human considering it has been proven that we all have a common anscestor regardless of the superficial race,nationality that we have created in order to classify ourselves). Now the question is, if we were able to unlock the full potential of our brains and be able to access this information would it make use no longer human?

Can I propose that two questions are the same, "What's the meaning of life" and "What's the meaning of my life".

If I ask what's the meaning of my life, I think of it this way. What will the world be like after I am gone as compared to what it would be like if I had never lived? What difference did I make? That is the meaning of my life.

Is that the meaning of life?

I believe that the reason living organisms exist to live is to accomplish most efficiently the two natural instincts they have: to survive, and to help their species survive. Humans may try to make meaning out of a more complex, life, but really the above is what I think is the meaning of all life on Earth. That's just my opinion from a more scientific standpoint. What do the rest of you think?

The Philosopher's song is a lot funnier.

I believe the meaning of life is to live.

the mountain is just a mountain

Everything else just seems like noisy mind chatter.

That's essentially what I stated before- we are born with the instincts to live and advance life, and that is all we are "given" in terms of the meaning of our lives,

What is the meaning of life?

Where one looks, the answer lies.

But the truth does not lie, it wanders faster than the eye can see.

To know the truth, one must see everything.

I believe the meaning of life is to make the biggest impact as possible before you go.

Megalomaniac.

I meant in a positive way, at least for me personally >_< haha

But our world is a medium for impacts? Both good and bad.

I was thinking physical impact.

Aah no, I meant in memories and history. But an actual physical impact can happen, and often times is a result, though this gravitates more toward the negative side of things.

Or the meaning of life is what you make it:

That sounds like you want to impress others. That is very common,but it's shame to have your life stolen like that.

It isn't stolen if you enjoy the impact you have. I try to participate in anything that crosses my path. It's a very spur-of-the-moment way to live, but it's gotten me involved in the community around me in a nice way.

the individual has no meaning. Collectively we answer nature's call to reproduce and survive.

This is chess site, not a theological/philosphical club. Let's be a little more... superficial. 

I think the point of this group is to be such a club, the only difference being that we are all chess players.
