Resisting Meaninglessness
"Yes, our brains deny reality — or reduce it to its components, correctly or not — either in a rush of playfulness, like that of a dog in a cool spring morning, after it‘s been recharged with atomic structures and embarks on a cheerful game of self-rejection, chasing a non-existent enemy conveniently imagined in the rolling tires of the cars passing by, or, alternatively, in a reflex attempt at surmounting the excessive intellectual fatigue resulting from the countless disillusions of the ceaselessly seeking mind. The latter being the case, they do it not simply because they cannot see the point anymore but, rather, because they cannot even want to see it anymore, at least for the time being. On the other side, seeking to ignore the point — if the point is that there‘s no point — is, actually, a game with a much higher stake than the game of seeking the point itself; it‘s a game in the name of a cause with a tremendous biological meaning: It‘s a struggle against the acceptance of the faith of non-faith, a struggle to resist the idea of meaninglessness — the most dangerous threat to the software core of any human distribution."
