    Our Lives Are Ultimately Meaningless | Episode 3

    Is there any meaning to our lives? Pessimists again give a grim answer. There is ultimately no point to our lives, and the little meaning we can create within our lives is fragile. In this episode I introduce why pessimists argue that our lives are much less meaningful than we tend to think, and why people haven't realised this to the extent they should. This episode is best listened to with headphones!
