Can I jump in?

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Atheist vs Christian vs Spiritualist: The Paperclip Problem That Exposes Religion!

I just want to make sure I understand y'all's point.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Atheist vs Christian vs Spiritualist: The Paperclip Problem That Exposes Religion!

So you're saying that the search for purpose, first of all, is never going to go away, like is a human condition, right?

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Atheist vs Christian vs Spiritualist: The Paperclip Problem That Exposes Religion!

Yes.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Atheist vs Christian vs Spiritualist: The Paperclip Problem That Exposes Religion!

So as humanity, humanity will never find its purpose.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Atheist vs Christian vs Spiritualist: The Paperclip Problem That Exposes Religion!

I can tell you why, if you like.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett

So an individual can find their purpose, but as humanity…

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Atheist vs Christian vs Spiritualist: The Paperclip Problem That Exposes Religion!

It's never going to be solved.

So transcending death, that human beings basically look for purpose because death is inevitable and if we can find purpose, then we can give our life meaning.

But if death – if we die and I don't leave something behind, can you talk a little bit about that?

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Atheist vs Christian vs Spiritualist: The Paperclip Problem That Exposes Religion!

I agree with so much of what you all say and I also like hard disagree with some of the fundamentals.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Atheist vs Christian vs Spiritualist: The Paperclip Problem That Exposes Religion!

So let's say you have this example of like I'm going to write a book and then the world is going to end 30 days later.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Atheist vs Christian vs Spiritualist: The Paperclip Problem That Exposes Religion!

And so you say – because a lot of what you're talking about is like what people say, right?

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Atheist vs Christian vs Spiritualist: The Paperclip Problem That Exposes Religion!

So you'll say like – OK.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Atheist vs Christian vs Spiritualist: The Paperclip Problem That Exposes Religion!

So like people would say that this is a waste of time and I'm not going to do it if the world ends in 30 days.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Atheist vs Christian vs Spiritualist: The Paperclip Problem That Exposes Religion!
