"I just, i struggle with this kind of thought experiment where you get where everything leads like six degrees from nileism," she says. "You're never more than a couple of thoughts away from nothing matters... Who cares? And that makes it hard to get sted in the thing."

But it does say that true communication and relationships are very, very difficult, if at all possible.
