I'm not going to bother to read the article because it's pointless, but I must admit I love the title: "Ultimate Meaning: We Don’t Have It, We Can’t Get It, and We Should Be Very, Very Sad"



That is a wonderful title. So good, you can put other things before the colon and it's just as fun:

Money: We Don’t Have It, We Can’t Get It, and We Should Be Very, Very Sad

Sex: We Don’t Have It, We Can’t Get It, and We Should Be Very, Very Sad

Happiness: We Don’t Have It, We Can’t Get It, and We Should Be Very, Very Sad

The Truth: We Don’t Have It, We Can’t Get It, and We Should Be Very, Very Sad

Good Paper Titles in Academia: We Don’t Have It, We Can’t Get It, and We Should Be Very, Very Sad


It’s good enough to be submitted as a new Cards Against Humanity prompt.


You missed one. Privacy: We Don’t Have It, We Can’t Get It, and We Should Be Very, Very Sad


I read the article. Actually, it doesn't argue that reading the article is pointless - it says lots of things we do in life can have a point, but life itself can't have a point. It's a pretty good article!
