It's like your camera storing images, and then smashing itself with a hammer and then reassembling. You question what it all means when you are a continually evolving organic lump.

I think for the majority of the world, the meaning of life is to perpetuate what came before. They do it because of propaganda and family memes. You must go to University, you must meet a man, you must marry, you must get pregnant, you must take on a 30 year mortgage, and pay interest to the banks forevermore. Credit, here is credit. Use it. We will give you more. This is the West. In reality, the banks need to be destroyed.

In this day and age to be perpetuating such a meme is a crime against humanity. There are going to be 10 billion people on this planet in about 10 years. Already people are struggling to survive and these are Indian mothers lined up on the street with their 6 children. 'Why did you not think that because you were born with nothing, then maybe being a peasant the same fate would not likely permeate your offspring?' 'Oh, didn't think about that one'.

Food prices will rise and they will rise for everybody because there are too many people. It's a meme to be blaming weather conditions, when the big elephant in the room is the ridiculous human race and their financial weapons of mass destruction. In truth, I don't feel much empathy for a stupid person that thought a fatherless situation would be fixed with the unplanned quick breeding of enough children to fill a Solar Zoo, nor a central bank that decided free money for insolvent financial institutions would be the way to go.
