The stupidity around here seems to be out of control. Not so long ago there were chapters without any comments. I wonder what happened....
Anyhows...
"Survival of the Fittest" is old news. Was a misleading turn of phrase. The reality is more like Survival of the Barely Sufficient. Biology only needs a passing mark, and never strives for excellence. That is why life is so fucked up in general. All the same though, most of the aspects of life that seem kinda pointless at first glance are a consequence of past pushes towards that passing mark.
And not only is life meaningless, it doesn't need any sort of meaning either. Unfortunately humans are just wired to try and see patterns where there are none to the extent that they believe patterns ought to be there...
