As you mentioned, the idea that 'everything happens for a reason' often leans too heavily into essentialism or determinism, suggesting a coherent, purposeful order to events. However, determinism, particularly from a materialistic viewpoint, just means things unfold due to prior causes, without any inherent purpose or supernatural reason.

In my opinion, the universe is vast, complex, and abstract enough as it is. We don't need to resort to the supernatural to feel awe or forge a deep, meaningful connection with it. Simply embracing the mystery and beauty of the natural world can be profoundly spiritual in its own right.

Thank you, GayTuckerCarlson.

I was just reading about the guy and this is the first thing that pops when I open Hexbear.

How old are you, 88?

Comrade Bear agrees.
