Love a Girl or a Boy or Something Like That

If there's no God, nature is all that exists, then all stories will end in the same way. In a universe from which all life is banished without possibility of return, civilization in the end will have been an accidental flicker and there will be no one even to remember it. So here's Tom Nagel saying, if you want to have meaning in life as a secular person, don't think too much about the universe in which you believe you live. And so what Lewis is saying, and what Tolstoy said, was the trouble is when you say, well, we can find meaning by writing or something like that.
