h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I've always wondered why the human race wastes the beautiful gift of congnizence which it is blessed to posses. I mean, we think we are searching for deeper meanings in the world, when, in fact, the world has no deeper meaning. Everything is primarily what it seems to be, which is sad, I agree, but true. God is God, man is man, nature is nature, there is no ultimate truth. That is too much life a television program. If there were any ultimate, difinitive answer, then it, too, would be fairly plain to see. Any replies or comments on this would be appreciated.
