“To many, the meaning of life—or lack thereof—is not even an issue. Their meaning is prescribed by the religions to which they subscribe, or one of the secular worldviews they choose for themselves... They have a way of living imposed upon them and seem to be content with a problematic world insofar as it has answers. The destiny of those who think for themselves, on the other hand, is wholly different—usually dramatic.”

“People refuse to believe that they live in a dystopic system until it collapses on them.”

“Exit God, exit religion, exit divine purpose; enter cosmic insignificance, enter universal purposelessness, enter ever-fleeting pleasures and ever-present suffering—life does indeed seem very bleak. No myths, no prophecies, nothing to console the thinking individual. What's left is a heartless, cosmic meat-grinder that is perfectly indifferent to its inhabitants. Without the 'vital lies' we tell ourselves, our lives are utterly useless.”
