Summary

This quote suggests that without a belief system or values to guide us, life loses its purpose and significance. If we deny the existence of meaning and value in anything, we are left with a world where everything is permissible, but ultimately inconsequential. By embracing beliefs and values, we find direction, prioritize what matters to us, and create a sense of significance in our actions and choices. Without these foundations, life becomes a void where nothing truly matters or holds any importance.

You know, if you're Guy Kawasaki and you create a car that gets 500 miles a gallon with zero emissions, people on the Internet would say: 'I could have done that in half an hour, and it's been done before. What's the big deal? I expected something more from him.' Meanwhile, they didn't do it, right? They're still living at home with their mothers.
