Something made you loose the desire to change other people's minds because you realized, despite your fights and victories, you felt hollow at the end of the day, needing another conquest to "fill" you up again, right?

Was this insight some version of "Don't sweat the small stiff. PS: its all small stuff!" ?

Who you directing this to?

"On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero."

another rule from Fight Club?... ha ha

I would amend that to say "on a long enough time line, the survival rate for our human bodies drop to zero"

I refuse to believe the consciousness I feel is simply the result of a series of bio-chemical electrical reactions inside a skull that evolved from a monkey. We are created beings, separate and above all other life forms existing in this dimension, on this planet.

The source doesn't make it any less true.

I disagree with the latter as well. We are hairless apes who got lucky.

Sitting at a job that I stress over to cover a too high mortgage for too little property and supporting a mate and two offspring while worring near constant about the future said offsporing are to inherit. Too many liberal whackos bitching about everything under the sun to support their corruption and a near totalitarian government that views my "clinging bitterly to my rights" as the problem for everything.

I am not feeling all that lucky Grin

I disagree with the latter as well. We are hairless apes who got lucky. I agree para, I just like the quote in the movie. Nope, you are not a lucky ape. You are a billion times greater than an ape. Now, that statement doesn't diminish the ape, that elevates you.
