It is amazing that the world is painted in the most vibrant shades of the bleakest gray.
What stuns us now is our dissatisfied regard, our regard of blase indifference.
Still, I wish for nothing. I dream no more. What's the use?
We sense only a profound and unshakeable ennui, a sense of tedious disaffection.
Life has a point; it's a means to an end, but the end is nothing, from which sprang its beginning.
The journey is cold and empty if that's a metaphor for life.
Today I've been filling my belly with all the food I can get my hands on.
The world rotates like a snail across parched sand.
My stomach is full, but all I still crave more—not food, though.
Life is but a boat on a stream in a river near a bank near a street by a dollar sign on a hat by a flag next door.
If the flower could chase the bee ashore, it would all come to naught a baker's dozen.
Life is a vacuum that cleans the universe.
I have read that many tens of billions of universes might exist.

I've never pretended to like him or understand him, but if someone knows how to talk to him, could you please check to see if he is okay?

I don't see any meaning in it. If there is, could someone explain it to me?

He's depressed
The world sucks

I might speculate about the rest of it but I won't.

Eating is a comfort activity - many people eat more when they are depressed.
There is a term called comfort food because people eat what makes them feel better when they are upset.
I think he is saying that it isn't working.
The change in avatar is either a hint or a bad sign.

Not sure if this isn't classic NH, but given that there is a grain of truth in every troll, I'd still agree with Sean.

I understand most of it. It's poetry, and beautiful at that. And, like most art, borne of suffering.
There is a consensus amongst many physicists and astronomers that there could be as many as 10 to the 23rd power or even 10 to the 100th power universes. Every time we make a decision, we create a new life path. There could be 10 to the 23rd or 100th power versions of us--"editions of you" as Bryan Ferry (Roxy Music) would say. The physicists who subscribe to this model include John Wheeler, John S. Bell and Amit Goswami.
I often eat more when I'm depressed. It's a substitute for companionship and facing one's feelings of sadness or anger.
If you think that Neant Humain is "on crack," God help you if you ever read any Bob Dylan lyrics, especially the likes of "Subterranean Homesick Blues," "Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again" or "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues."
Neant Humain, if you're reading this: Hang on. We're pulling for you.

How much can you eat in the span of 2-3 hours, Neant Human? I'll bet I have you beat.

He sounds depressed, or this could be some kind of confusing joke. I can't tell online. Hope you get better?
