I've accomplished enough in life so that I do not fear death.

What are you doing? Why are you concerning yourself with the meaning of meaning?

After your first job, is anyone asking you what your GPA was? No, they don't care. They ask you: Are you a good leader? Do people follow you? Do you have integrity? Are you innovative? Do you solve problems? Somebody's got to do that homework and redesign the educational system so that it can actually train people to be successful in life.

It's progress I think, that science has joined philosophy, metaphysics & religion as subjects drunk people argue about in bars.

We still refer to sunrise, sunset. That only has meaning if you think that Earth is in the center of things, and everything is moving around us. So even though we know intellectually Earth goes around the sun, the language is still pre-Copernican, as we would call it.

Knowing how to think empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

I am proud to be part of a species where a subset of its members willingly put their lives at risk to push the boundaries of our existence.
