Because why bother with anything when the actions are hollow? Did you even read the second link I posted a few posts ago. It said the only goal is to be happy, but jumping from one happy feeling to the next seems awful. It’s so empty, just living for that sensation and little else.

There is no such thing as “worthwhile”, it’s all just actions. None of them matter.
