This is the single harshest and most strenously denied truth that I am aware
of.
It's denial is at the base of all conspiricy theories....at the root of all
relegions....
People passionately WANT someone to be in charge. Anyone....even a devil is
better than harsh reality...
The universe doesn't care. It is incapable of caring...
We are on our own....
That thought is enough to make many (most?) people run screaming into the
arms of the nearest snake oil (relegious, political, etc) salesman...
