“The universe is a cruel, uncaring void. The key to being happy isn't a search for meaning. It's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually, you'll be dead.”
I guess that the bleakness is the point, but I prefer a more optimistic spin on the same thing: the key to happiness isn't a search for meaning, because the universe has none to offer. It is the creation of meaning for yourself—what you do has the importance you attach to it, neither more nor less.
That's exactly what I took from it too.
Underrated comment. Bojack Horseman is one of the best shows out there :)
