About this listen

If meaning is a lie, how do you live? This episode doesn’t push nihilism; it invites you to build sanctity on your terms. Dan argues that the universe doesn’t owe you a narrative (physics and probability are indifferent) but emptiness can be fertile ground. Discover how to treat things as sacred because you decide they matter, and why liberation lies beyond the search for cosmic significance.

Episode highlights:

  • Why dismantling meaning systems can feel disorienting yet liberating.
  • The difference between creating sanctity and inheriting meaning.
  • How to live like it’s holy anyway: By choice, not by default.
