When I was diagnosed with cancer, my first reaction was how meaningless my life had been. From then on I took steps to help hundreds of people in different ways, so when the end comes - postponed thankfully because the cancer is in remission - I can look back with satisfaction on a life that had purpose.<br /><br />In your case, there is no way that you can look at the body of your work so far - your blog, your books, especially that wonderful volume Bachelor Pad Economics, and not see how you have helped countless others live a better life. <br /><br />OK, we can never solve the question about what if anything happens after we die.

For me anyway, it's facing the question eternal question of "why?" <br /><br />Once you see humanity for what it is(red pill), all the usual answers to the question of why become irrelevant.<br /><br />The only answer left is, "for my own enjoyment".

Your philosophy, however, tells you to place a higher value upon living your life in such a manner that you avoid all possible negative outcomes involved in mating and raising a family. Therefore, you will not pass along your genes. According to Darwin, you are a failure and an evolutionary dead end.<br />I don't know, is that bleaker than the void?<br />Ricknoreply@blogger.com
