That part's inevitable.

So now let's flip the script and go to the why not.

Just keep living.

What are we doing?

The base of everything, Eric, and we can argue it all, at the base of it, all I can come up with is, well, just keep living, man.

I mean, what else are we supposed to do when we don't have any idea what to do?

When we know exactly what we want to do.

Make it matter.

Even when it doesn't matter, that matters.

For what?

I don't know.

For the fun of it.

That matters.

I mean, I say I'm confident enough, and I might be arrogant of me to say, but I do believe...

That we're here to each generation have a small ascension.

That we as a species or generation or people or humanity are going to reach the top of the ascended staircase and go, ta-da.

I think that is not only false, but I think it's foolhardy.

And I think it's a recipe for having more angst and even cynicism we talked about and unrest and lack of seeing beauty and joy in this life while we're in it.

Live it as best we can.

Hopefully.
