Reply to comment by finalmattasy in Cosmic nihilism, existential joy | Human consciousness, and our need for meaning in a meaningless world, is the source of both tragic pessimism and the intense joy we take in life. by IAI_Admin

The Sun is neither "perfect" or "imperfect" nor can it ever be either. You can do whatever you want with it, make it last longer or not last as long, but it won't change that all the stars are just stars.

The same goes for organisms and the entire universe.

A person saying that "anything" is just "something" does not qualify its value. All is perfect. If an asshole thinks it can make the star last longer, the asshole is crazy.

"Value" is a myth, it never exists outside the imagination. Nothing is "perfect" or "imperfect", that is also myth.

And you can make a star last longer with sufficient technology but no amount of technology can make something more "perfect" or more "imperfect". We can't even make a "perfect" sphere, the closest we can get is make it the most spherical sphere ever.
