I enjoyed his points. I've often thought of the meaningless of things, but I like how he called them rituals.

“Vanity of vanities!” says the Teacher, “Vanity of vanities! All is vanity!”

The above is a quote from Ecclesiastes, which, even if you're not religious, is a pretty interesting book, and it seems to sum up pretty much what he is saying.

Fitting enough, shortly after that opening statement in Ecclesiastes this is said.

"What has been—it is what will be; what has been done—it is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun. There is a thing of which it is said, “Look at this! This is new!” But it already existed in ages past before us."
