The Only Meaning Of Life

There Are No Forces On This Planet More Dangerous To All Of Us Than The Fanaticisms Of Fundamentalism.

We Live In A World That Is Subjectively Open. And We Are Designed By Evolution To Be "informavores", Epistemically Hungry Seekers Of Information, In An Endless Quest To Improve Our Purchase On The World, The Better To Make Decisions About Our Subjectively Open Future.

Every Living Thing Is, From The Cosmic Perspective, Incredibly Lucky Simply To Be Alive. Most, 90 Percent And More, Of All The Organisms That Have Ever Lived Have Died Without Viable Offspring, But Not A Single One Of Your Ancestors, Going Back To The Dawn Of Life On Earth, Suffered That Normal Misfortune. You Spring From An Unbroken Line Of Winners.

I Should Emphasize This, To Keep Well-meaning But Misguided Multiculturalists At Bay: The Theoretical Entities In Which These Tribal People Frankly Believe — The Gods And Other Spirits — Don't Exist. These People Are Mistaken, And You Know It As Well As I Do. It Is Possible For Highly Intelligent People To Have A Very Useful But Mistaken Theory, And We Don't Have To Pretend Otherwise In Order To Show Respect For These People And Their Ways.
