>>11202130there is no answer to why we are here, meaning is a concept invented by us, it does not exist in nature, we can give meaning to things and if we want, we can also give meaning to that question
death is just your cellular machinery failing and knowing that you, your thoughts and memories, are collections of electrical impulses in the brain that will stop, you will simply cease to exist, pure nothingness is my guess
i will agree that the universe is literally me, but i'd say it is everyone too, and i find introspection very meaningful
the universe manifests as reality which somehow conforms, mostly, to a system we invented, and the ways it doesn't conform are interesting; through math we can see beyond the universe, we can look up to infinity, from where the universe is is currently falling
