Ask me any question, it can be personal or not, and I will try my best to answer! I will not be using a search engine, so it is very likely the answer will be incorrect.

@RickiTarr Isn't this the definition of a search engine? 👀

@TheBreadmonkey Because the universe doesn't care about us, which is scary sometimes, but it also means we choose our own meaning.

@RickiTarrFor anyone out there who isn't aware of Stanley Kubricks 1968 interview in Playboy, here is an excerpt...Playboy: If life is so purposeless, do you feel that it’s worth living?Kubrick: Yes, for those of us who manage somehow to cope with our mortality. The very meaninglessness of life forces man to create his own meaning. Children, of course, begin life with an untarnished sense of wonder, a capacity to experience total joy at something as simple as the greenness of a leaf; but as they grow older, the awareness of death and decay begins to impinge on their consciousness and subtly erode their joie de vivre, their idealism—and their assumption of immortality. As a child matures, he sees death and pain everywhere about him, and begins to lose faith in faith and in the ultimate goodness of man. But if he’s reasonably strong—and lucky—he can emerge from this twilight of the soul into a rebirth of life’s élan. Both because of and in spite of his awareness of the meaninglessness of life, he can forge a fresh sense of purpose and affirmation. He may not recapture the same pure sense of wonder he was born with, but he can shape something far more enduring and sustaining. The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death—however mutable man may be able to make them—our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.

@RickiTarr @TheBreadmonkey Playboy did a lot of that in the early days, partly so men could say that they subscribe to Playboy for the articles (yeah, right, that's your only reason). But they invested enough in it to make such claims credible.

@ParadeGrotesque @RickiTarr @not2b @TheBreadmonkey Even if this is made up, it is trueReporter to Ursula K. Le Guin:how can a feminist like yourself publish in playboy ?Le Guin: they pay morewhich was true which is why so much good or even great writing appeared theresort of like how the Kochs (yes, those Kochs) finance part of Lincoln Center, or a building at MIT for cancer research
