There are two types of thinking about it:

1. There is no point in living. We are doomed to get into the grave, and eventually be forgotten forever.
2. There is no point in living. No higher order, no higher purpose, no higher authority. We are free to live our lives, to explore, to insert any meaning whatsoever into it. We are forging our own destiny.

Does there need to be a point? We eat because we're hungry, sleep because we're tired, live because we're instinctively apposed to death.

The point is petting dogs and the warmth of their smile, crying and laughing at movies and books and music and art of all forms, its supporting your fellow being, its finally cracking some problem that you've been trying to solve for ages.

As others have said, if nothing we do matters then the only thing that matters is what we do. Be kind, seek joy, seek experiences, punch fascists, pet animals. Be kind.

The point is to pass on your genes.

I'm pretty confident that there's an afterlife.

I speak from my own research into related phenomena.

The afterlife is basically the dreamworld but moreso.
