I want to meet with all my remaining Outliers.

I want Bing and the Rolmans there too.

It will be one big, free session that will last as long as it needs to.

My conclusion: Even if this world is pretend, it changes nothing.

It might as well be true that I should continue to think, write, and do everything just as I normally would.

If this world is a purposeful construct, then I see no reason not to assume nothing intended can be changed (even if it can).

Whether or not any of this will ultimately matter remains unknown.

I admit there is a strange comfort in arriving at such murky yet resolute conclusions.

I feel a new sense of peace, even as I face all the same mounting dilemmas and confusions.
