Granted. But if the existentialists taught us anything, it's that if you stop and look, I mean really look at your life, you'll find how thoroughly inconsequential it is.

Which is no comfort at all. Quite the reverse. Ignorance really is bliss.

I find the intellectual argument comforting because I can focus on the things I can control, the things that are within my sphere of power.

I used to be very interested in politics. These days I either ignore it or treat it as entertainment. Because I have no control over it, why drag myself down with it?

If nothing is worth anything then by definition everything is worth whatever you want it to be worth. My life is inconsequential from the perspective of the universe but from my point of view its pretty important.

Also, you certainly do have the ability to actively engage with your world and you have an extremely limited ability to change how certain aspects of that world works. Of course this has to be based on the idea that doing so is inherently worth it which you seem to have abandoned.

I take the view that I can change the world. But also that what I can change isn't unlimited.

I change my mind about the boundary line pretty frequently.

Exactly. HMoney isn't the only value here as I see him somewhat struggling with how much he values doing something more meaningful.
