The reveal of a world that has no point is an opportunity for freedom. Society has played a fundamental trick on all of us, by telling us that things mean something, and that certain things are significant and other things are not. But you've realised that it's there is no meaning to anything, no significance and no point. You haven't gone far enough though. Not only is there no meaning in anything, there's also no meaning in there being no meaning. The world doesn't mean anything, and it doesn't mean anything that it doesn't mean anything. The world has no point to it, and there's no point in the world having no point. There's no ryhme or reason to anything.

Now, if you could give up that it *has* to have a point, what then? Imagine not being concerned about anything, or having to do anything. Stop thinking that there has to be a destination or an end to get to. If the world didn't have to matter for you, what would it be like?
