We live, we die. Ultimately, nothing means anything.
What about you saying that things happen that leave marks … in people, in space, in time?
Yeah, that's physics. Energy affecting matter. Talking to dead people is delusional. Nate: So you definitely don't believe in any kind of a life after death? I think people live on through the people they love and the things they do with their lives … if they manage to do things with their lives. But that's it, that's it? That's all there is, there's nothing more, there's nothing like bigger?
Just energy. But there's no plan, no— No, there's definitely no plan. Just survival. Should I have ordered the salmon? Uh, I don't know. How can you live like that? I mean, what if you found out you were gonna die tomorrow? I've been prepared to die tomorrow since I was six years old.
Really? Yeah, pretty much. We never got butter. Well, why, since you were six?
Because I read a report on the effect nuclear war would have on the world, and it was pretty clear to me at that point that this was definitely gonna happen.
When you were six? And I wake up every day pretty much surprised that, um … everything is still here. Well, I don't understand how you can live like that. Well, I thought we all did.
We've been clutching so desperately to the past, and for what?
