Outside The Asylum

My front page is noth­ing but the music meme. Time to get some more posts up. I’m sit­ting on a longer one, but for now, I’ll answer another Form­Spring question:

“What is the answer to the ulti­mate ques­tion of life, the uni­verse, and everything?”

42!

If there is an Ulti­mate Answer, it’s prob­a­bly some­thing hyper­di­men­sional that will lit­er­ally blow my mind if I were to ever find out. (Sim­i­lar to Cthultu’s name. Hmm…) Or maybe it will be the key to enlight­en­ment and nir­vana.

But in any case, I’m not Reed Richards, Fran­cis Way­land Thurston, or the Dalai Lama, so on a more prac­ti­cal level of daily liv­ing, I’d like to think that mean­ing is cre­ated, not dis­cov­ered, since that’s the dif­fer­ence between free choice and des­tiny. Sim­i­lar to evo­lu­tion, there is no “ulti­mate goal” state or form, there’s just us try­ing to be the best we can.
