We are oddly created. If we’re lucky we grow and never stop learning until we die and, if you must have meaning then, surely, our legacy is found in the memories of others and the paper/digital trails that we leave behind.
No one has answers, much less the answer.

To me, the point is that legacy doesn't matter - it's what you choose to do next that does.
As for point, understanding & answers? Life & the interrelationship between mathematics, science & the apparent structure of nature & the universe (as currently understood) is just too perfect an example of randomness working out, for me to consider it an accident without purpose. There's design there, not least in the way that humans seem programmed to inquire & seek purpose/meaning in things. Even if our purpose is to discover there is no purpose & that 42 just means that you're gonna need a bigger computer...
