Life is now going live

Life. Don't, of course, talk to me about life. I'd rather talk to you about it.

It just occurred to me, you see, that philosophy is a most curious notion. It's a life recursion - people spend their lives trying to determine the purpose of their lives, when they've made the purpose of their lives to find the purpose of their lives, thus making the whole thing rather pointless, and the answer blindingly obvious. Whooh. Glad I didn't have to say that one aloud. I might have hurt myself.

It's just more validation, really, that we never really like the answer, because we're not asking the right question.

So, I propose the field of meta-philosophy (no, this isn't meta-humour, Sarah, it's an unusual but serious notion) - the study of finding the right questions for people to study. Maybe if we turned all those Tibetan monks trying to find all the names of God to examining every question anyone has ever turned away because they didn't, personally, have the time to think about it, we'd find a decent answer, and finally know, once and for all, the Question to the Ultimate Answer of Life, The Universe and Everything.
