    :) too true. And so is everything that you say. Not you you, you in general.

    "universe is meaningless" has so many meanings.

    "universe is meaningless" to humans?

    then it seems like the preoccupation with the non-existence of G-d paradox

    and doesnt seem possible to me.

    This is one of those things that sounds more profound than it is.

    Modeh: It had more of a point in context. but I can't remember what that point was. And I just finished writing the paper on this junk, so I ain't going to look it up.
