I'm a stoner,

and I don't believe any of that voodoo crap.

The universe is matter and energy interacting in time and space, and NOTHING ELSE. There is a reason for everything but a purpose to nothing.
It is random and chaotic and pointless.

Oh, yeah, there are those Laws of Physics that are supposed to be a clue to some hidden logic or intelligence, but no. They're just accounting to keep track of electricity and gravity and such. They really don't mean anything.

The great secret of the universe is that there is no secret.

The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death – however mutable man may be able to make them – our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.”
― Stanley Kubrick


So you see, even though the universe is meaningless, we are not.
