Is a star alive? Whats the purpose of burning up for a star?
It's only doing what a bunch of physical/chemical rules tell it to do.
There's no point in being human/alive. It's just a logical train.
If an organism wants to die, it won't procreate, evolve.
If an organism doesn't want to die, it successors will evolve and be better.
If an organism doesn't want to procreate, then its kind dies off.
etc etc. So what we have now, is a bunch of wildly fucking around, dying, not wanting to die, who want to survive and manage to do it.
There's no end point. There's just a start, and million years of logical evolution.
The only difference with animals, a burning star, a falling apple is that we suddenly got smart enough to ask ourselves why are we grazing, why are we burning, why are we falling?
