One day, the sun will rise above the distant horizon and illuminate a world in which Things Matter.

the nothing matters meme is shorthand for the idea that political polarization makes rational argument and even simple facts useless because people will always choose the narrative that they prefer over and above all logical reason, even if their preferred narrative is 100% bonkers

the nothing matters meme is good and correct :colbert:

I genuinely believe that people are essentially good, and that we will overcome our divisive national rhetoric and recognize that we accidenally elected a traitor compromised by Russia.

This will be painful. But we, as a nation, will find a compromise and select a centrist Republican to replace Trump.

caring is good because it is what living is all about. it's about caring about things and then you go and try to make things better even if you think it won't work. one must imagine sisyphus happy and the rock matters, as does the hill, as does the pushing. it all matters.
