    Nancy the existentialist. She’s been reading her Schopenhauer.

    In other Nancy news, with Norm Feuti’s “Retail” having ended the good folk at the Deseret News have decided to replace it with OJ’s Nancy:

    No doubt a certain portly syndicate person is happy to have stolen one from King Features.

    Wait, I get it … Nancy’s questions become progressively harder too! I see what you did there!

    I think what Nancy’s really trying to ask is why learning makes things harder rather than easier.

    Too deep for me when I read it at 5am. Perhaps after a coffee and a pipe, it will become clear?

    Speaking as a human being, I am not sure I crave “increasingly hard challenges.” I may be miss identifying myself.

    With school, the struggle is finite, having a clearly defined ending. It’s only life that requires “endless” (from your own POV) struggle.

    Years ago, a friend in fandom asked his readers “So you go to school, and you graduate, and then what? Years and years of just living?” For some reason, this haunted me.

    The meaning of life, (the universe and everything) is 42.

    1. Because humans crave increasingly difficult challenges. 2. Because endless struggle is the only meaning of life. 3. Yes.

    Being miserable builds character and the answer to the meaning of life is 42.
