The supergoal

The supergoal - the most justified goal that I have found out is;

1)We must assume some kind of meaning to avoid self defeating arguments or arguments that give no information about what actions we should do (as in a justified super goal) ( because of a kind of pascals wager without infinity's or false dichotomy)
2)It seems no-one knows or has enough information even to make a good guess at the meaning, much less convince other people - although many people claim many things.
3)Therefore the only justified interim goal of life is to find the meaning of life - the answer to what should we do, a true philosophical framework to base all other things on.
I think that to get there we should use what has worked in the past for finding things; intelligence (I think superhuman intelligence may be necessary), information, science, and resources, reason and logic

This rest on a few assumtions. The assumtion of :reality, logic, that contradictions are bad, that we dont know the meaning of life, that its better to find it out than guess it, that we can get more information about it etc

But hey if you have a better one, lets hear it?
