Life is pointless, Mr Cleese? I recommend an excellent film that explains the meaning of life. It does it with songs and everything.

[@blatherskite3009]

If I may quote the closing words of said film (spoiler warning to anyone who doesn't want the meaning of life revealed) the meaning of life is: "Nothing very special... Try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations." :)

Your life is a link in a chain of other lives that you can help and share while they do the same through the ages - building eternal memories of happiness, shared pain, and loving-kindness. This is the way that is humble, doable, purposeful, and unentitled.

[@jdolew]

but not in the least amusing.

[@LHRSBN]

John Cleese is one of the most beautiful souls and one of the greatest philosophers in history. And he’s one of the funniest. Here he is exhorting people to “find meaning and purpose” in life, or else it’s worth nothing. You must nourish/nurture your soul/spirit by any means possible, by reading and practicing what the greatest philosophers and spiritual prophets in history taught. The core of all their teachings is very nourishing, but unfortunately the irrational superstitions/rituals that some commentators added to them later made things confusing. John Cleese cuts through all the bullcrap and tells it as it is.

Have enjoyed Cleese so much over decades Intelligent man Now finally happy with a woman who he feels compatible with. I think his advice to “ top yourself “ as there is no real meaning to our lives, harkens back to Cleese’s advice to his depressed mother. Who was jolted out of a dark moment by his suggestion. But just expressing my own view here- no one has to agree with - As I too get older and see the finality of my own life, I become more curious and in Awe that we exist at all. This “ blue dot “ as Sagan once said. So perfect and equipped with all the conducive conditions all life needs to first Be Here then to survive and flourish. But I suspect that here Cleese is poking fun at our insecurities about our own mortality and maybe Cleese’s own - none insecure - but Acceptance of his likely diminishing time here too. I hope he never gets dementia. I hope he never suffers a physically debilitating disease. But that he continues to grow, and express and be a voice of sanity in our over Corrected World. I don’t think there are any TV shows now that depict a character like Faulty ( Mr.) A man so incensed by the needy existence of his guests, who provide him with a living, and about whom he is so indifferent, unless they are Titled. One Foot in the grave Keeping up appearances Old BBC shows now, poke fun, at Snobbery and negative thinking. What Shows are there? Cleese - to me - seems to be That Voice: We are All going to Die...(!) May as well laugh at it. Soon, those old shows will be banned. Those who are Snobs, will insist they are a Minority to be regarded sensitively. Those older people who get actually funnier with Age, but it comes out as total, negativity, will Have to conform to some future Politicised corrective behaviours. Epstein Fans will probably decry Cleese’s comment here about his NOT topping himself. And we can’t Go Back either, can we. To days where humour was so Rawly Creative and all was possible- . Remember the Draconian Censorships in the West in the early 50’s? TV and Movies- Two Seperate beds for a married couple? No breast showing? Political Over Corrections remind me of Russia in the days gone by. A repressed oppressed people. Who “ subversive “ actions were sternly dealt with. I really hope Cleese just hangs in and keeps thinking. Because “ WE “ collectively need a reality check as we are now moving inexorably towards the Political 1984 Orwellian State. Our formerly named “ Coon “ cheese is now called “ CHEER “(!!!??!!??) So remember Cleese. Remember his and Palin’s interview with the Bishop if “ Canterbury “ And the “ High Priest of ...” in response to Monty Pythons Life of BRIAN. Then - interpretation of the possibility that Churches have Jesus All Wrong - was explored by Cleese and Monty P. Now more than decades prior we need a fresh interpretation of the possibility that World Wide , we are heading into the abyss of Blandness.... Of Swiss Neutrality by Appearance Only And Privately Thinking otherwise. Anyway, my long comments have by now probably caused some to look for any sharp object, or caused a heavy leaning over their Balcony. Just wish Cleese all the best on his Island with his cats and happy crazy wife. ( his word). 🤪🤪🙏🏻🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

[@jonathanwalker8730]

The acceptance of the meaninglessness of life is sometimes referred to as optimistic nihilism. It's not everybody's cup of tea - as humans, we are innately programmed to try to find meaning in things. But if you can embrace the concept, it's a very emancipating philosophy. I briefly worked for the BBC, where in a way I died every day, so I don't think actual, literal death is the worst thing that can happen to you. The current trendy word for coping with life is 'mindfulness'. Just enjoy the sunset, a glass of wine, a David Lynch film (other films are available), sleeping and dreaming, sharpening a pencil, the sound of the wind in the trees, the fragrance of an old book, peeling off a scab, making a cat purr, seeing a shooting star, a fuck (if you're lucky). It's all meaningless and pointless, and the sooner you understand this, the more free you'll be.

[@Doc-Holliday1851]

You recognize that we are "innately programed to try to find meaning in things." Yet you don't see that as an indication that there is meaning to be discovered?

What you are describing isn't morality but feelings. feeling that can change day to day, place to place, and time to time. Morality is determining right from wrong. You can't do that if your basis for said morality changes society to society worse, person to person.

[@Doc-Holliday1851]

@@cervezafria4807 as I have said, the moral compass you espouse is based on nothing but subjective feelings that can change entirely based on the whims of people. What is moral one day is immoral the next and there doesn't need to be any explanation as to why. And no explanation is owed because people change, society changes and morals change and you just have to accept that. According to you if enough people woke up tomorrow and decided that cannibalism was moral then it would be moral. In your system of "morality" nothing is concrete, morals change like the wind and morality is decided by mob rule rather than guiding principles.

@@davebartholome2924 Well, that's fair enough. We don't know for sure if he was a client but John Cleese was in Jeffrey Epstein's phone as a contact. What are the odds of Jeffrey Epstein knowing all these famous people... If you look into it deep enough you find out Epstein was likely an undercover agent working for a foreign country. His job was to get influential people on camera having sex with minors. Then, they could use that footage to black mail those influential people in order to make that influence theirs. So, unless you want to believe the incredibly unlikely scenario that John Cleese and Jeffrey Epstein just happened to be pals, it should be pretty obvious why any influential person would be in his contact list.
