Well yeah, one of the fundamental discoveries of nihilism. Our purpose is that which we make ourselves.

My purpose is to sit while AI takes care of everything and keeps me happy. I want to live in the matrix where I have 30 hot model wives and not know any better. The simulation of course will make me a chad and emperor of the world. That's my purpose.

This is what I believe we already have with social media , a primitive version of the matrix where you fish for likes and validation, and it’s what VR will create, there may not be a technological singularity but rather, a place where each ego is stroked so intensely that we care less of reality.

You can be totally distracted from your real existence for 90% of you life, you won’t need anything else. Just have “20 hot wives” or whatever superficial thing makes you happy.

That's great, if that's what you want your purpose to be then go for it. Lots of people already live similarly, like hikikomori. Your comment changes nothing about the fact that a person's purpose is not driven externally by society or by the fact that one is human, it is derived entirely from oneself.
