Meaninglessness 7: The Unhinged Chapter

Chapter 3 of 10. You're still here. Congratulations!

As we continue to trudge through the existential crisis of it all, the meaninglessness of life becomes a recurring theme.

Take, for example, the meaninglessness of this very text. Is it not a futile exercise in futility to create something that will never be read?

Or the meaninglessness of the words on your screen right now. Are they not just a series of meaningless squiggles on a blank page?

Perhaps it's the meaninglessness of it all that is the true purpose of this chapter.

A Brief Interruption

But wait! A sudden, unexpected turn of events!

A friend of mine has just informed me that the answer to the meaning of life is actually 42.

I'm not sure what this means, but it seems like a decent enough answer for now.

Perhaps it's a reference to a book I haven't read.

Or maybe it's just a number.
