I can't.

But that, philosophically, is a proof that it does exist.

Not here.

That's actually proof of a divine afterlife, actually.

It's evidence of a divine afterlife, that you have this hunger for unremitting happiness.

which suggests that it actually does exist, but you can't get it in this life.

Maybe you can get it someplace else is what it comes down to.

And this is one of the great proofs in most of the both Abrahamic and karmic religions for the existence of nirvana, heaven, whatever it happens to be.

Anyway, back to the question at hand, why would mother nature play this trick on us?

Because we got to stay hungry.

She wants us to stay hungry.

So she's wired in a mistake.

She's wired in a mistake.

She's wired in something that is such a deep mistake that we make again and again and again, that even when people speak a manifest truth that people deeply believe, they still will reject it.

I remember when David Brooks, you know the author David Brooks, we and I are super old friends.

We're not related.

Share a surname, a common surname.

It's a common surname, right?

And so my Brooks is snuck out of Lancashire in 1630 to Massachusetts, one step ahead of the county sheriff.

But, and his came later.
