Tali Sharot: Meaning and Expanding Human Knowledge

Excellence Reporter: Tali, what is the meaning of life?

Tali Sharot: The meaning of life is to have meaning. That is to say, to know why you get up in the morning. That reason is different for different people.

For me personally it is expanding human knowledge in a way that can hopefully help people. And love – the connection we form with other humans.
