Comment: It’s sad to think that Douglas Adams died at just 49. His imagination and wit were extraordinary, and it feels as though he still had so much more to give. The way he revealed the absurdities of life was uniquely his own.The world is a thing of utter inordinate complexity and richness and strangeness that is absolutely awesome.
I mean the idea that such complexity can arise not only out of such simplicity but probably absolutely out of nothing, is the most fabulous extraordinary idea.
And once you get some kind of inkling of how that might have happened, it’s just wonderful.
And the opportunity to spend 70 or 80 years of your life in such a universe is time well spent as far as I am concerned.
