[00:00:00]You could say your life is meaningful but meaning comes at a price. The price is basically moral and part of that moral price is truth and responsibility.

[00:00:09]You have to bear that. Okay. It's like yeah you get meaning but now you've got some work to do. You don't get to regard your actions as trivial. You don't get to rationalize your your errors of speech as as casual and forgivable. None of that. You get the whole burden that goes with meaning. Or you can say, well, nothing's meaningful. Well, Dossi figured this out a long time ago. If there's no God, if there's no moral values, everything is permitted. It's like, okay, maybe that's what you want.

[00:00:35]Maybe your whole argument, even though you don't know it, maybe that whole argument of which you're only a part of, is actually predicated on the desire to demolish the necessity for truth and responsibility. Good.
