i refuse to entertain the idea that the universe is an "uncaring void". you're not a stranger to the universe. the big bang produced you, and you care.
i refuse to entertain complaints that love is "just a chemical". everything is a chemical. love is made of the same stuff you are. when you complain that love is a chemical all i hear is that, in your opinion, love is too real.
"it's not meaningful, it's just chemicals and empty space" is a nonsequitur imo
I consider the universe to be indifferent, not uncaring. As for love? Calling it just a chemical is almost certainly a reductive take imo
i see it differently. the universe is not indifferent, because i am not indifferent, and i am an organism-environment with the universe. i am, at minimum, the part of the universe that differentiates.
Talos Principle 2 builds a lot of its narrative around this idea, and it's a very pleasant surprise to see in a game in the current year.
