    Don't worry, I'd give you free will.

    It'd make the grovelling all the more meaningful.

    Really informative river. We already know you can't. How about installing some scholarship between your ears. Oh we already know you won't.

    Let me continue on here with explaining my theory because I am still trying to figure this whole theory of mine out. When you are in a hopeless, bland, and "dead" mindstate due to your depression and/or anhedonia, then that is the mindstate of perceiving neutral (neither good or bad) and the scientific version of bad meaning in your life. But when you are in the vibrant, "alive," transcending, and vigorous mindstate of experiencing your pleasant emotions (good moods), then that is the mindstate of perceiving the scientific version of good meaning in your life.

    The moral version of having good and bad meaning in one's life would say that it doesn't matter what mental state you are in. That if you tell yourself you are living a good or bad life, then that makes it so. But having good or bad meaning in one's life solely depends on what mental state you are in. There is always a scientific (psychological) basis that determines whether we have good or bad meaning in our lives. I already explained it in my previous paragraph above here.

    People are small compared to the universe. You're extremely small. Smaller than most. Right now humanity is messing up the very small planet Earth. A very small component of the universe.

    Well, I'll make one up for you.

    You're human, and hence, part of humanity. It's OK if you disagree with me, all I need is to be able to agree with myself.

    Don't compare yourself to the Universe.

    I don't.
