Oh and another thing: why is the goal survival at all costs? I swear people act like it's worth making your entire life torture to live a second longer.

+100.

You see what I see. A false dichotomy appears; each time that people choose "safety!", that "safety" ends up destroying the fabric and meaning of the very life they seek to protect. We end up three-dimensional beings living in a two-dimensional world.

Then the insanity of this construct of spending a life in a futile search for "safety" calls out its evil twin, and people seek out the nearest killing spree (called war when it's state-sanctioned, violent crime when it's not) to remind themselves they are alive. It's all or nothing.

The world we live in is true insanity.
