These questions are a perfect distraction from the concrete reality most young people face.

The uninteresting reality is that most of us are struggling to put a roof on our head, and it needn't be that way.

Hundreds of years of philosophy have peaked at existentialism which concludes life is absurd, at the heart of science is the admission that we can't know anything for sure.

The reason I dont ask these questions is because greater men than me have concluded they're a path to nowhere. Not because I'm a cynic.

I'm not asking these questions, because we have real problems. People are dying in the thousands in Syria, nobody can afford a house and facism is the new black.

Now the New York Times wants to criticise my generation for a lack of navel gazing?

You keep all the high ideals you like, your ivory tower is held on the backs of a suffering majority.
