    The more I think about existence and awareness the less I understand about them. Why the hell am I here?

    This shit keeps me at night.

      I think I believe that it’s all the brain. You can change someone’s personality entirely through accidental injury or intentional damage/medication.

      And existence is just all chance. I used to desire more from everything but now I think humans are just another animal who developed a different evolutionary strategy and life is merely another means for entropy. Not to say it’s not unique, but the value of it is only what we determine it is to ourselves.
