Question: The meaning of life for a squid!?
Imagine that among the millions of squid, one of the sea arrows became a philosopher!. If you could ask it (in Squidanese) about "the meaning of life," what do you think it might reply!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It will reply exactly the same as the other millions: food, sex and a livable environment!.

That's what the meaning of life is to all creatures!. Humans, however, have added another!. They want food, sex, somewhere to live and Meaning!. They added Meaning because it seems as if all this needs to have a reason!. It doesn't, but they still want Meaning!.

Assuming the squid has an intellect, it would tell me it is what is the difference between it and a ship killing it and eating it!. Or if it wanted to make bad jokes, it would say life is blue!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

To mate often!.
To control the waters!.
