I think it’s important to have a future that is inspiring and appealing. I mean, I just think that there have to be reasons that you get up in the morning and you want to live. Like why do you want to live? What’s the point? What inspires you? What do you love about the future? (Elon Musk)

My Response: Elon Musk is practically a fan of designing.

Question: So he gets up in the morning and starts designing. Once you said that it is important for a person to have a hobby, to do something. It will be his meaning of life. Would it be enough for you to say that this person is happy? Or should we still look for the meaning of life?

Answer: We should look for the meaning of life in the fact that we create it; we create the very meaning of life and life itself, not this animalistic substrate of life at which we are now. It is necessary in order to exist, but we must create a superstructure above it, a real superstructure that we can call life. Otherwise this is not life.

Comment: You say the paradoxical phrase all the time: “The meaning of life is in the search for the meaning of life.”

My Response: Yes.

Comment: And you fall silent.

My Response: What can I add? And then—everything, then comes the search.

Question: But still, what is the meaning of life?

Answer: The meaning of life is, in fact, to reveal its meaning.
