I'm sad regardless of if things have meaning or not.

Que sera sera.

Someone is learning to embrace hard determinism. You love to see it.

It's like the people who crow on about how we're living in a simulation. Okay, so what? I still have to live my life as if I'm not living in a simulation. I still can see that what I do has effects that ripple out starting with those closest to me.

Yeah, if you can't get access to the source code, whether it's a simulation or not doesn't make a difference.

Things can still have meaning to you locally, and you can comprehend that 'meaning' at larger scales is reduced.

This person sounds like they're having a frantic existential panic attack.
