Illusion

Nothing’s permanent. It’s all an illusion.

Once you realize there’s nothing new under the sky, life becomes boring and predictable.

Everything breaks, eventually, not just human products/technologies. It’s called entropy.

Our bodies are avatars?

There’s no solution, life is hopeless.

Nature, like humans, only knows how to start things, not necessarily how to finish them.

There’s no such thing as a “successful life”, since every life ends up with death, thus, ultimately, being unsuccessful.

Nature is like a blind painter: it keeps churning up species, without knowing which one will succeed. If it sticks, it sticks.

We age and die because of the existence of Time.

Which species are best adapted for life? Simple ones (hydra, immortal jellyfish), that last longest, in evolutionary time.
