Where does this get us then––what is the result at the end of this process? The end product is the general conviction of unqualification on the part of each individual person when it comes to answering questions of consequence about life and reality. ––How do I best make sense of the world? What values should I have? What is life about? What does it mean to be human? What is worth living for? Life? Values? But these questions are much too big for me! I’m not possibly competent enough to answer such weighty questions––I might get them wrong! No, better to leave such things to the professionals, to the experts, to the scientists: they’ll know best. –– And so one continues on, content to cop out on the difficult matters of life, content to remain in personal oblivion, content to echo without ever speaking, and all to willing to play the marrionate so long as it means that one doesn’t ever have to lift one’s own limbs.
