I don&#x27;t trick myself into believing anything. I can use logic to convince myself that there is a point, or that there is no point, either one just as easily. Without more evidence I can&#x27;t prove either one. Maybe you can, but I can&#x27;t.<p>So try this: assume there is no point and we are going to burn in the sun. Everything is a waste of time. Now what do you do? Kill yourself? Well, I don&#x27;t want to, so why should I?<p>Sit still in one spot and wait for death? I tried that, but I got bored after about 10 minutes so I went and made a sandwich. Then I continued doing what I wanted to do with my time. Which was the same stuff I had been doing before I decided that it was all pointless.<p>It doesn&#x27;t bother me at all. Philosophy is great for Saturday nights and the third beer. The rest of the time it&#x27;s boring and distracting.
