What if Abe Vigoda's life is actually the meta-physical axis on which the Earth revolves?

[MrScorpio]

The questions about environment change and disaster could be framed as a reflection of Vigoda's own aging status.

Let's suppose that we all continue to exist simply because he continues to exist. What if the entire universe is nothing but a virtual construct, created in Vigoda's mind? Were he to transcend from this plane of existence to the next, where would that leave us?

Do we really want to risk the possibility that we're all subject to his living essence without a plan to compensate for his eventual mortality?

What hangs in the balance?

2. You mean it's NOT???

Dayum. Who knew.

3. What if Abe Vigoda and Betty White were the hosts of parallel, interdependant planes of existence...

...providing balance and conflict to all living things? And if one were to pass to the next plane, the other would violently implode, destroying all life within it?

4. When and if they transcend, we are all doomed

We must prepare ourselves to leave this plane of consciousness.

Perhaps the next one won't be as tragic.

5. Abe Vigoda IS the Meaning of Life

According to Abe, each man and each woman creates the essence of his and her life; life is not determined by a supernatural god or an earthly authority, one is free. As such, one's ethical prime directives are action, freedom, and decision.

In seeking meaning to life, Abe tells us to look to where people find meaning in life, in course of which using only reason as a source of meaning is insufficient; this gives rise to the emotions of anxiety and dread, felt in considering one's free will, and the concomitant awareness of death. According to Abe, existence precedes essence; the essence of one's life arises only after one comes to existence.
