You should check out Satanism and the Left Hand Path . <| sep |> It just means that you still are usefulUseful for what ? I ' ve recently been thinking that all the fuss over the meaning of life has been overblown . We ' ve known for a while now what the meaning is , ever since the theory of natural selection and evolution was uncovered . We exist , all of life exists , simply to replicate itself . We ' re selfreplicating machines . So that question I posed at the beginning was really just rhetorical , what are you useful for ? Replicating . But then comes the ugly implications . We put so much stock into the wellbeing or suffering of creatures , but we should only do so the extent it negatively impacts that creatures fitness to reproduce , and so have offspring who will do so . Other animals don ' t have existential crises over the meaning of their existences , they just do their jobs . We ' re just messed up because we happened to get smart enough to see the strings that jerk us about .
