Is there, in the opinion of the members of the “Philosophy” community, a certain fundamental law of human existence that would serve as the main motivation for human activity — both in everyday life and in practically all spheres of social life?I believe that such a law exists. I am ready to present both the formula of such a law and my arguments, and to discuss this topic if it interests the members of the community. I would be grateful for future comments.

    This feels more like you arrived at a conclusion and want people to debate you than an actual conversation starter.

    Not exactly encouraging, from my perspective. Most people who start with such specific wording and a vague stance that they announce they’re prepared to detail and debate don’t actually want to converse so much as write a dissertation and have a captive audience to read it, more so than engage in a true, two-way debate.

    To wit: how are you defining the phrase “philosophical law of human existence”? Because it reads like nonsense to me without more context.

    Such a weird question. Did you mean meaning of life? If not, then oh, I have some answers that won’t satisfy you at all, despite being entirely true: we get bored if we don’t do things, we want to stay alive, unconsciously we are aware of our limited time - those are some “laws of human existence” that fit your definition, thus I have no idea how broadly you approach the topic

    That is a question dripping with assumptions. I’m willing to engage, but only if you start by elaborating on what you mean when you say “a certain fundamental law of human existence”. That is such a vague phrase that it’s almost meaningless.
