If the meaning of life is fun, then what's fun?

Reality is probably just working at surviving, no matter how you look at it, and no matter how easy or hard it is for you in particular to survive.
-----So there is no other point to life really other than surviving. Your job keeps you occupied to make money to survive. You date people to prolong the species. You eat food to survive. We explore the world or anything for no particular reason , maybe to stay sane, but mostly to either make a home somewhere else or to experience new things to keep our brain active and healthy.
------ If all human inventions have been made to make life easier. And when life is easier you have extra time on your hands. Then what do you do with all the extra time that you have? Have fun, probably.

------But your personal reality or life is determined to you by these factors:

  1. What you have available to percieve
  2. What you allow or don't allow yourself to percieve, and
  3. How your brain interprets what you are percieving
  4. And all of the above perceptions, are given to you by your senses/feelings however strong they are

-----For instance, an example of #1 is if you are rich you have more options or parts of life on earth to experience. But if you grew up rich then your perception of all of your extraordinary experiences would be mundane or even boring because you grew up with it your whole life and desensitized to it. But also if you were put into a poor persons shoes after being rich your whole life it would be the worst experience ever. for you even though it's normal for everybody else.
-----An example of #3 would be if you find looking at or being with the opposite sex fun, then your perception(senses) of them is thought in your brain as good or fun( based on the gene programs that created your brain, most likely). But the same perception (senses) of the same situation by a person without an interest in the opposite sex, would see the situation as normal or not fun based on how there brain, in particular, interprets the perceptions-----Also if you present yourself as a good perception(being clean/ put together) to someone you like, then it will be more likely that they will find it fun to look at or be around you. which there are some pipe dreamers that say that they will only clean up there act after they're already in a relationship
-----An example of #2 and more is-If you get rid of all human created bad from your life, but still keep all human created good, then you would be choosing to only percieve good things, and if you could also find those things fun, by the way your brain is interpreting the perceptions(senses) (example of #3). And if you had all earthly desires and could afford to experience all aspects of life, either through new technologies or homemade utopia, or by having the money to(example of #1). Then you would effectively be the happiest person on earth. But , I guess in the end, there would still be no meaning other than survival
-----I guess there's having the opportunity to be happy, and then there's actually feeling happy or having fun. And being able to sustain it for the rest of your life.
