If The Problem Were Simply Sub-Standard American Schools, Asian and Indian Kids Would Be Doing Poorly As Well

I saw
this quote on Reddit
recently, and it resonnated with me. It reminded me of
my thoughts on meaning, which basically conclude that meaning is not real, but that pleasure,
happiness, and beauty are our best (and perhaps only) replacements for it.

The comments on this post were worthwhile.

I especially liked the first part:

Sadly, I don’t believe beauty is a diversion from a false belief that there
is no meaning, but rather that beauty is the diversion from the
truth, which is that there is none.

But I’m ok with that. The wonders of this world are enough for me. ::
