Easy: There is no meaning of life, no goal system can sustain itself
without one, and they all commit suicide. Of course, those three items
in sequence form a rather tenuous logic (life could have meaning, our
cheapjack human systems function without one, and why is suicide more
rational than anything else?), but it's a possibility.
