what is the meaning of life? You do so because you can. Your inclination and

ability to ask this question are incidental to the evolution of predictive

mental models. These models emulate and predict the specific physical aspects of

reality that have determined survival and passage of genetic information from

and between species over 3.8 billion of years.

that you can ask this question is an offshoot of your brain's ability to model and

predict a reality without requiring sensory input or motor output. Your brain

can now ruminate freely and endlessly. The urge we have to ask, "what is

the meaning of life", is linked with our nature of being threat detectors.

We have evolved because we detect threats and respond to them, all species do.

The lack of sensory awareness to the neuronal activity that generates predictive

mental models, creates a void, and becomes a threat in itself. Where are these

endless thoughts coming from?
