How I Figured Out How to Find the Meaning of Life

Hello, peoples of the internet. It's me, Afronaut. I thought that today I would show you guys exactly how my mind works.

I was in bed one day, half asleep, when I came to a sudden realization: the meaning of life was encoded within the game code for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. How did I come to that realization? I honestly have no idea. Yet for the period of my half-asleep brain fart, it made perfect sense. I even managed to rationalize my thoughts and make it easily plausible, which I promptly forgot.

After spending the rest of the morning obsessing about how the hell I managed to make sense of 'Super Smash Bros is the meaning of life!', I finally remembered. It went a little something like this:

Well, when written down, the code for super smash bros. looks like a random jumble of numbers and symbols. BUT, that random jumble of numbers and symbols COULD in fact be a code for the meaning of life.

...What's that? I have no proof that this is so? Well, how much proof do YOU have that it ISN'T? HUH?! TELL ME! It's true that I can't prove my theory. BUT since no one can prove that there ISN'T a cipher that would decode it into the meaning of life, then there MUST be. If there is a cipher that translates it into the meaning of life, then the meaning of life MUST be there. Clever, right?

If you're confused, don't worry. I'm confused as well. If you actually understood that, I like the way you think. We should be friends.

I'm done rambling now.

  1. The sleeping brain makes incredibly logical things that our awakeness then assumes is true. Like my brain telling me that if I go to Sydney,Australia that is the only possible way I will find a direct flight to Boise, ID.
