Is there actually any point to life?

It works to a point but I'm yet to find a theorist or writer who can convince me that life is worth living.

I agree with you about studying to some degree. Too bad school and even university can make learning feel like a damn chore. Look at how education makes people hate math and foreign languages, per example. And reading novels.

I find learning on my own to be a lot more fun. Imposition is more likely to breed aversion and contempt.
