Summary

This quote suggests that if the universe had no inherent meaning, we as conscious beings would not have discovered or pondered its lack of meaning. It draws a parallel to the absence of light, stating that if there were no light or creatures with eyes to perceive it, darkness would have no significance. Similarly, the discovery of the universe's meaninglessness implies a conscious realization, indicating that the existence of such discovery suggests there is meaning after all.
