This is a very strange attitude about truth. What does it have to do with one's comfort level? Not everyone is emotionally invested in understanding the universe. I personally rather enjoy it when the universe surprises me, although again, surprises can be good or bad.
- Koshkin 10y agoAccording to Hitchhiker's Guide, a truth about the universe is that the universe is an extremely big place - so huge, in fact, that our planet and all of us look utterly insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Which, I think, is true, but there is no way I could take comfort in that thought.
- duaneb 10y agoI think the reverse—that humans are somehow meaningful—is far more terrifying.
