Haven't you completed the first level yet?
You're here because certain types of molecules are capable of getting themselves replicated accurately but not exactly. Variants of the molecules which replicate better naturally come to dominate. With time, this mindless process creates more and more elaborate vehicles for the replicators. Your mind and body, your desire to be accepted by a group, your religious beliefs, your love of your family, your need for sexual relationships and your paternal or maternal instincts are all there simply to help these molecules get passed on. Of course, it won't actually accomplish anything if you do.
Hope this helps.

Doncha just hate Darwinists? What's up KS? You usually seem so chipper. Life's not all bad. I remember once I was feeling a bit low, and a German guy who was staying with a friend of mine asked me what was up. I said that things seemed to be going OK but I didn't believe it could last so I was worried. He told me about this German folktale featuring a jester (whose name I have conveniently forgotten) who was spotted by some villagers climbing some nearby hills. As he climbed them he smiled and laughed, but when he reached the top he started weeping uncontrollably, and carried on all the way down. They asked him why he reacted this way and he replied that when he climbed the hill he was thinking how easy and fun it would be running down the other side, and as he came down, he wept because he was already thinking of the next big hill he would have to climb. I think the moral is to enjoy the good moments while you can.
Of course if the particular moment you are experiencing is shit my advice is:
a) have a kip
b) If you can't sleep, go for a drink
c) (If it's really serious) Eat comfort food and watch It's A Wonderful Life - that usually works for me.
Don't worry. I love ya.
Kenneth Williams recalls in his Acid Drops book , a conversatoin he had with Tony Hancock about looking for the meaning of life.
Hancock tells Williams an analogy.
A man is searching frantically for something he has lost in a street at night under a street light.A policeman approaches the man and asks him what hes looking for.He replies that he is trying to find his key that he dropped several yards away.The policeman enquires why he isnt looking for it over there then?The man says"Well this is where the light is."
Aaaaaaaah!
In my street an electrician has lost the key to the lampost wiring box which has a short circuit and only ever comes on when it is completed by the occasional stream of urea.
Have you explained that to the electricity board?
She did - but the man on the phone seemed rather confused. He said:
"I'm sorry, but this really has got nothing to do with us."
what's more...the more the electrician attempts to connect the circuit in order to provide light in which to find the key to the wiring box, the rustier the key becomes from the splashes of his urinate.
That is my life.
What, you mean you're the electrician? Or you just sit around all day watching a man pissing on a lamp-post?
You're weird.
If only Jon. If only! If my life consisted of such an activity I wouldn't have any complaints at all. I'd be over the moon.
Can you offer any other analogy that might not cause such confusion?
A SHORT HISTORY OF MAN'S EARLY DEVELOPMENT
What is the meaning of Life? Is there a Meaning? Well that all depends where you stand. Darwinists and atheists (can you be one without the other?) are convinced Man's dreams and ideals stem from one thing: Man's role as the dominant specie.
They believe that Homo sapiens (The name Man had given himself) gained the edge over animals when they developed their skills for hunting and began to use tools. In fact Man found the prefix Homo so useful that he added it to other words. Bored with foul breathed cave women he added it to the word 'sexual' and now had a sex life as varied as his diet (The invention of the bow allowed Man to kill and live off faster animals thus greatly increasing his diet). But Man did not have it all his own way. Homeopathy in the fight against disease proved to be more than hopeless and is now only practised by people who are either educationally subnormal or rich.

Wait a minute... are you saying that the cow you want to milk is in the next field, while the cow you don't want to milk is eating your best grass that you were saving for the other cow and is simultaneously crapping into your mouth? If you get my gist?
Light a candle. Make your own light. And for God's sake stop wallowing in your own piss.
Thanks for your words of wisdom fizz. Maybe an electrical fire is the answer.
Going to bed at a decent hour might be a good starting point on your route out of this miserable mire. 4:40am for Christ's sake. *Everything* looks bleak and hopeless at tweny to five. Go the fuck to sleep, for your own good. :)
Sleeping is so difficult though. Unless in an inappropriate environment.
