Still insignificant though!
Absurdism FTW!
“Did…did I make all of this!?”
My brain added an ‘n’ to the first word of “waking universe” and I think it still works
You are golden.
It’s quite the songwriting feat. (Joni Mitchel, but CSNY great interpretation with gospel Organ part)
“And we got to get ourselves, back to the garden”
unifies gospel of bible and humanism. The 60s, being a period of extreme oppression of US men with draft for US empire domino absurdities, had many “principled songs”.

Am I the only one who finds comfort in being insignificant in the grand scale of the universe?
I’m just a speck my problems don’t matter in the grand scale of things I don’t want to be significant I want to be forgotten.

Rocks don’t have problems either
I can do both of these flipping back and forth. Existential dread, awe, and purpose at the same time.

Yeah it should be “star-stuff” refering to this quote of Sagan:
The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.

I love it when my feed aligns 😁
It was the other way around for me lol
And I ended up being a gooner weeb…
Truly the pinnacle of evolution 🥹
I am nuclear waste.
Forged in the heart of a dying star
Pretty metal
The top panel is just the human ego speaking volumes. This is why we have main character syndrome, and some people think the universe owes them if they feel disappointed.
Not the other way round?
I would say the top panel can accept own insignificance while bottom panel creates a vision of grandiosity to protect the main character illusion.

Am nihilism enjoyer, am bottom pic
Significance is just a concept humans made up to make ourselves feel bad.
