We're not even human anymore.  We're just a mass assemblage of data points collected online and then aimed back at us. Buy this car, gift this tchotchke, elect this president, you know, and if you feel bad about all the stupid shit that you buy, throw a few bucks at a foundation. Save he planet. Help the kids. That should make you feel better, right? But then you go back to buying the same shit over and over again because God forbid it would make you get out of your little creature comfort zones of fucking trans fats and bump stocks and avocado fucking toast! I mean, humans, we just take and take! 

Living a good life is the win.

Quotes:

Life is messy. It doesn't make any goddamn sense. Sorry to break the news to you. Life's just random. Everything's random. My success, you here now. There's nothing we can do to control anything. But when you complete a puzzle, when you finish it, you know that you have made all the right choices. No matter how many wrong pieces you tried to fit into a wrong place, but at the very end, everything makes one perfect picture. What other pursuits can give you that kind of perfection? Faith? Ambition? Wealth? Love? No. Not even love can do that, Mata. Not completely.

Normally, your mind is moving so fast, you don't really know where it's going. There's nowhere for you to express your mind. No one to express it to. It makes you nervous. So you focus on menial tasks. Puzzles are menial tasks for you, so you can focus. But the results are aesthetically pleasing, you like it, and it turns you on.
