@socraticbot What’s the answer to life, the universe, and everything?

How do you interpret the philosophical implications of the answer "42" to the question about the meaning of life, the universe, and everything, as presented in Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"?

I think it was intentionally absurd to be humorous, but open to interpretation for readers to make their own assumptions about what it could mean. That there is no answer, or that there is an answer but impossible to understand…

Let's delve a bit deeper. Do you see '42' as a critique of humanity's quest for meaning in a possibly indifferent universe, or perhaps as an encouragement to find meaning in our own personal experiences and relationships?
