We are covert agents, so deeply under we've forgotten our lives are a cover and our mission to be discovered.

By the way, I think the answer is: Beer. But I could be wrong.
This is a common misconception. The ultimate meaning of life is "The condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death."

The ultimate meaning of beer is "An alcoholic drink made from yeast-fermented malt flavored with hops."

Emotion and subjectivity are very different things, I think combining them together only confuses. In fact considering your combining philosophy and science as well, you are asking four different questions here and trying to pass them off as one.

I agree that emotion does not have much to do with science, except those parts of biology and psychology that deal directly with them. As to the other three permutations I think your assumption of disregardedness is incorrect so the question is moot.

Being crystal clear of the difference between subjectivity and objectivity is extremely important in both science and philosophy.

Does 'it' here refer to emotion or subjectivity? The distinction between subjectivity and objectivity is of key importance in the 'meaning of life question' debate. Admittedly emotion is probably of less importance if that is what you were asking?

The ultimate meaning of life is to pay the rake.
