#personal #existential_philosophy You know those fortune cookies you usually get when you order Asian food? The ones with the little piece of paper that is supposed to tell you your damn future or where you are heading with life? Sometimes I wish I owned a factory that made those cookies. It sounds like a lot of fun! You could write a load of crap and people would still read it even if deep down they know that whatever is written on that paper means nothing. Instead of generalizing and giving them what they want to hear, I would write the following: "One day the world will come to an end. Long before that, however, you and everybody you care about will die! Don't waste your breath, don't waste your time, because whatever you do or say doesn't matter at all to the universe and I can prove it mathematically. " Bon Appetit, enjoy your fucking Chinese food. Of course, writing such a thing in every fortune cookie would put me out of business and that is one of the reasons why I don't own a fortune cookie factory.
