If an alien landed on Earth and quietly followed you around for a week, watching how you spend your time, what do you think it would conclude the purpose of human life actually is?

Probably that our purpose is to stare at glowing rectangles and occasionally feed a smaller, furrier creature that controls the household.

If an alien followed me for a week, it’d probably decide the purpose of human life is scheduling. I wake up, reply to emails, sit in meetings where we discuss scheduling more meetings, and then clean my kitchen at 10 p.m. like it’s an Olympic sport. The alien might notice we buy things we don’t need to relax from jobs we don’t like, and that we call “self-care” what should just be normal rest. But maybe it’d also see that we laugh while washing dishes, text dumb jokes to our kids, and still hold hands when we’re tired. Maybe it’d conclude the real purpose is just... not giving up? Even when everything feels like so rushed and stressful.

Id purposely eat 4 dominos pizzas with triple cheese and wash it down with an 8 pack of Red Bull Grab the alien by his ears / balls, and make him watch a biological warzone emerge in my very small bathroom that has a broken air vent. Locking the door too.

Me? Not the perverted alien "silently" following me around for 7 days? This is the least he deserves.

It would probably think humans exist solely to argue about basketball and refresh eBay listings every 20 minutes.

Mindlessly distract yourself with hobbies and largely meaningless activities until you die.

idk what he’d conclude but either way he’s gonna get it

They’d probably be too busy running around trying all the new foods and pleasures earth has to offer to notice anything I’m up to.

After following activelyresting for a week, we conclude that humans exist to rest enough so that they can play with their dog every day. And dogs exist so that the humans don't completely bedrot. It's a symbiotic relationship.

6 hours of sleeping 9 hours of work and the rest on your phone. = waste of life.

i'd say humans live for connection and small comforts.

If it's smart enough to have mastered space travel, I'd hope it was smart enough to not have a question like that. There is no "purpose" to human life.

Humans are pretty freaking cool and nice, also very s***.

That the purpose of human life is to stare at different sized glowing rectangles until the sun goes down, and then stare at a slightly larger one until we fall asleep. We are essentially just biological charging stations for our phones.
