Where Twitter Fits

The highest form of human awareness comes through a number of realizations
and stages of acceptance regarding the nature of human existence.

1. There is no free will, as the seemingly complex goings-on of our lives
   are little more than pseudo-deterministic patterns being woven into
   time.

2. There is, therefore, no objective good and evil. Heroes deserve no
   praise, and criminals deserve no punishment.

3. Any meaning we create in life is just that–created. Meaning is not
   native to our material world; it must be conjured and subscribed to in
   order for it to take shape.

4. The subsequent embrace of our manifested meaning is a willful engagement
   in delusion, and this engagement is necessary only due to the frailty of
   our human psyche.

1000 years from now (and hopefully much sooner) this will be as widely
accepted as germ theory is today. The currently popular set of beliefs, i.e.
that we attain true meaning from God (or from anything else) will be just as
absurd to the thinkers of the distant future as is the once-held belief that
sickness was caused by demon possession.

Remarkably, the latter may be a less severe mischaracterization of reality
than our current interpretations of morality and meaning. ::
