lyrics

Why does any of this matter anymore?

What’s the point?

Everything’s falling apart anyway.

We’ve messed things up beyond repair.

The Earth is angry at us.

There is no god.

There is no afterlife.

There is only this — the present…what’s in front of us.

But there must be a reason for you to be here.

Or is your existence arbitrary?

Right now, on this device through which you are listening to me speak, you are being tracked, recorded, and monitored.

There are profiles accumulating on you as a character in society with every step that you take.

There are algorithms that can predict what you are very likely to do based on previous actions. These equations can make judgments on you as a character. They can also analyze your actions in relation to other people’s character.

Whether or not your existence is arbitrary, you exist. And there is a record of it.

For now, there is always meaning to your actions.
