Document Summary
He says, it"s not about you or me, it"s not about an individual, it"s about human condition: many people think that there is no such thing as human nature. He says i don"t like that label, it is a confusing label. He says that this is a limiting question which is opposite to a literal question. A literal question is an answerable and real, and can be answered. But not all questions are real questions; they look like real questions but are not. They are limited questions, and the meaning of life belongs to that category: he says that an answer to a limiting question will never satisfy the questioner. It is pass now: it all depends on how you feel. Nielsen says that is a limiting question. If we have somebody who rejects reason and then asks why i should believe reason, then there is no point in explaining anything to them.
