In this Short, the Dawdlers use Thomas Nagel’s 1971 paper “The Absurd” as a guide for a discussion of the meaning of life (or something like that). Enjoy the discussion or cry yourself to sleep while listening. It doesn’t matter. Nothing does!!

With our creation of the immortal soul, this fortifies the infinite against the finite and gives renewed purpose to the exploration of existence and the study of one’s self through external and internal experimentation in the physical world, that puts us more in touch with our inner being, soul type feeling, balancing this with our mental reasoning to shape life’s experiences into the form of what we all hope will turn out be our immortal soul. Without having this conscious belief, would anything really matter!
