All humans have big egos. Some are better at pretending that this is not the case than others.

It takes a big ego to continue existing in a fundamentally-pointless universe. Of course we imbue the universe with meaning – that’s what I as a secular humanist believe – but even believing that is itself an expression of the hauteur of sentience.

Looked at logically, the most sane response to life is to kill yourself immediately.*

Things will not work out; death is inevitable.

It’s a good thing not one human is truly logical, then, isn’t it?

*No, I am not depressed. In fact, I am quite happy. However I am not normal in any way and do not have many typical human emotions and responses. Not suppressed – they just do not exist. Diagnosing me in a normal way will not produce any truth, only a mirror reflecting yourself.
