Is the unexamined life worth living?
In my opinion this statement is completely true, in order to understand and realize whats the point of life you need to compare it to others. The only way that we can say whether our life is good or bad is if we compare but there is no one that can tell you if your life is good or bad. In order to make your life meaningful you need to be curious. You need to ask questions and in order to be meaningful. This definition means that everyone that has invented something new and discovered new things technically means that they have completed their goals and that their life has a meaning, It seems kind of weird because that means that most of peoples lives are meaningless and that there life was wasted.

I think that it is interesting that you have chosen to measure the value of someone's life based on their tangible contributions to society. I agree with your dedication to the pursuit of curiosity, however not so much with your emphasis on comparison. I am leaning toward the belief that some peoples curiosity and questionings lead them to have more inner discoveries than external inventions. To me this does not make their lives less meaningful than those around them.
