The meaning of life

q is an instance of semantic information if and only if:
1. q consists of n data(d), for n≥ 1;
2. the data are well-formed (wfd);
3. the wfd are meaningful (mwfd = q);
4. the q are truthful.


A systematic exposure to lies, e.g. gvt propaganda, makes one's life meaningless.

Получается, что с точки зрения философии информации, жизнь в условиях лжи является бессмысленной.

Having a dog makes life more meaningful because dogs don't lie. Being a scientist makes life meaningful because you have a feeling that you are working with Truth. Being in love makes life meaningful because you experience a true feeling.
