Truths that are obvious they are hard to state #2

There is a more fundamental question to life than "What is the meaning of life?"

It could be this:

Who am I to create order out of chaos?

Fundamentally, the answer to this question is this:
I like being alive, and to continue being alive. And in order to live, I must do this and that.

Life can be fundamentally defined, and distinguished from all other phenomena, as a the one thing that decreases local entropy - creates order out of chaos.

Who is sanctioning this?

Religions have a pretty decent answer. But it's really not the most fundamental answer.
"God is your master and your ultimate purpose is to serve him/them"

But in creating order of chaos and placing life in a state of order, the life ceases to be life, in that dimension. As in, lifeforms in a state of order for a certain dimension loses the need to be life and takes away the meaning of life for them.

And so, life needs to move on to somewhere with problems to solve.

This is the central underlying problem of automation.

Much of what we are doing are not going to give its doers any meaning or value anymore, as automation excels at such a level that human employment is simply not justifiable anymore.
