A universe that had a point would create complete conformity. If the cosmos had a goal, all things would be like water in a river. No opportunity to run uphill, to do anything but go with the flow. In a universe with a point, there would be no need for reflection, creativity, yearning, no sadnesses or passion, no need of thought. No freedom. If by magic Life did exist in a universe that had a point, it would be one thing, have one idea, would sing one song. Thank goodness the universe is pointless. It allows us to become.
