“It is pointless to exist. The insufferable ennui of the drudgery of simple existence destroys, like a cancer in my heart, the shallow vanity of life.”

If that’s the case, my advice is to start saving string.

So, you’re into the whole string theory thing?

If you start saving string, does this mean somewhere
someone has less string, a ball of twine half full?
Or is it Shrodinger’s ball of twine.

My involvement with string goes back to my favorite Disney comic book character, Uncle Scrooge McDuck. He believed he possessed the world’s largest ball of string until challenged by his archrival & fellow Scotsduck, Flintheart Glomgold of Glasgow.

Side by side they unrolled their string balls in an epic contest that took them around the world & back. It ended in a draw until Uncle Scrooge produced a length of string from his pocket that was the first he had ever collected, & he won.
