I'VE ALREADY BEEN THERE!

I'M OLDER THAN YOUR UNIVERSE, AND OLDER THAN THE ONE THAT CAME BEFORE IT, AND OLDER THAN THE ONE THAT CAME BEFORE THAT ONE. EVERY TIME HEAT DEATH ROLLS AROUND I'M THE LAST ONE STILL THERE. THERE'S NO STARS AND NO LIFE AND NO ENERGY, JUST ME, FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS, ALONE.

Yeah, my point is that that sounds awful. And that's exactly what you get with your philosophy.

WE ARE GOING TO FUNDAMENTALLY DISAGREE ON THIS!

audio

[neverjoinyou]

I guess. I'm just not sure why, since you've seen it.

audio

[tetractys]

LISTEN, THAT HAPPENS WHETHER I BREAK THINGS OR NOT!

[neverjoinyou]

Right, right. So we come back to nothing mattering. I don't know--it just sounds really boring.

LIFE IS BORING! IF I DON'T MESS IT UP A LITTLE, IT WON'T BE WORTH IT!

I never said you couldn't mess it up a little. I'm only saying that if you believe in the survival of the fittest to its fullest extent, you're either gonna be pretty dead or bored.

WHY ARE YOU SO SURE OF ALL THIS, HUH?

audio

[neverjoinyou]

Because I grew up in a desert and I was bored enough as a stupid mortal, or whatever.

audio

[tetractys]

THAT PROVES NOTHING.

[neverjoinyou]

If you require concrete proof, well... it kind of limits the options, doesn't it?

audio

[tetractys]

EXACTLY. WE'RE GOING TO JUST DISAGREE ON THIS. THAT'S HOW IT'S GONNA BE!

Fine, fine.

Someday, you'll explain your ideal existence to me.
