>The grim truth is not that there is no profoundly satisfying answer. The grim truth is that there is no overwhelming question. You don't have time to philosophize if your house is burning. If you zoom out and speed up time, humans are burning the Earth. So the overwhelming question is this: can we stop ourselves. A related question is this: can we spread life beyond Earth? When humans are spread throughout the solar system and under the oceans and (hopefully) around other solar systems, then let us kick our feet up and ask these questions (or rather, our descendants). It is a bad decision to entertain this kind of nihilism - and although I think it's unlikely any nihilist will have an "aha!" moment reading my words, but it's worth a shot.
