Page 20: Total skepticism and why Midnight beliefs are worthwhile anyway

What if none of this is true?–as in, all non-scientific Interpretations are wrong, experiences are willful misinterpretation/scams/hoaxes, and there are no underlying themes to existence? Nihilistic New Atheism is the truest truth…

  1. What we do or don’t believe probably doesn’t matter in the end. We’re going to the same place anyway–all roads lead to Death.
  2. As long as all mental/physical health issues are addressed, you are safe, and not exploited… It’s okay to just believe what is untrue. It’s fun! And again: see #1.
  3. Meditation still has measurable benefits. So does participation in communities. Midnight beliefs can encourage certain social opportunities.
  4. Philosophy encourages wonderful art and promotes theories worth exploring. The X-Files is fun! Star Trek inspired a lot of modern tech.
  5. It is okay to have fun. 🙂 You should peel away if the fun stops or any of the #2 conditions become an issue.
