T-Rex: Man, speaking of pessimism, you know who's pessimistic?
T-Rex: Arthur Friggin' Schopenhauer!
T-Rex: Not only did A.F.S. not believe that this is the best of all possible worlds, he supplied a proof that this is, in fact, the WORST of all possible worlds! First he assumed that the worst possible world would be sustainable, since if it ended, nobody would be around to suffer. Prolonged suffering across millennia beats instant death!
Dromiceiomimus: Clearly!
T-Rex: CLEARLY.
T-Rex: Then he observed that our world is good enough to support life, but just barely!
Utahraptor: Life's everywhere, man!
T-Rex: Sure, but one small shift in orbit, a slight change in temperature, and it's a catastrophe on a global scale. There's no wiggle room; if our fragile world was only a little worse there would be no life on it at all!
Utahraptor: Therefore ours is the worst of all possible worlds?
T-Rex: Yep! Because any worse and it wouldn't be a world, it would just be an empty planet without suffering, and nature ABHORS an empty planet without suffering.
T-Rex: Anyway!
T-Rex: I believe it was after this proof that A.F.S. added the "Friggin'" to his name!
