Evaluating: The Great Secret

There is a hidden truth inherent in the process of valuation; as we human beings decide what we like or dislike, and how much so, and for what specific reasons, we are doing something dramatically important on a cosmic scale. What, exactly, I am not yet sure, but I feel very strongly that this is the purpose of our existence, that six billion years of stars exploding and forming into balls of rock is not as important as the reasons why people decide they like one thing more or less than another. We must carefully study our judgmental tendencies, figuring out why it is that we choose to like a particular song by an artist we normally hate, why we condemn a sport out of distaste for its fans rather than for the game itself, or what makes a person gradually grow to love a television show they once hated out of love for a partner who enjoys the show. Somewhere in the process of figuring out why we like certain things or dislike others, we will discover the underlying truths of the human condition, the true reason why not only our species, but anything at all, exists.
