Hogwash

"We make our own meanings but should not mistake them for ultimate purposes. In my experience, settling into pointlessness is wonderfully freeing. And giving up free will – and the ‘me’ who would wield it – is the way to openness, kindness and happiness."  (source)

Aside from the fact that this tripe is utterly nonsensical, red flags go up when someone touts "giving up free will" and the 'me' who would wield it [as if free will were some sort of weapon!]":  sounds like a philosophy playing right into the hands of those who would (a) like to take away all our freedoms and (b) mold each of us into a colorless, uniform drone subject to The Almighty State and its despots.
