I mean..if I'm being honest, if i was in Clancy's place, I would also ascend into different dimensions everyday to ease the feeling of loneliness and just get new experiences and interaction that add more meaning to my existence........he lives in the middle of nowhere, all by himself, in seclusion, and Individualism and alone time is great but there is also an aspect of 'what or who am I doing this for' that defines us...an example could be someone who likes reading a lot of books just for the sake of it but after a while wouldn't there be a tinge if loneliness felt when to don't have anyone to discuss the books with or to share your thoughts or knowledge or someone could paint away their feelings but the essence of the art would, or rather could, feel incomplete if it was just to perish like that, with the artist, all alone, without receiving a single praise or criticism.....also isn't that the reason why clancy decided to have a podcast qnd continue with it even though his audience is a single person, the reason why he keeps going back to his ai created multiverse stimulator to talk to interview people...it is all to beat loneliness.....because sometimes when we realise that our existence isn't bound to anything, let alone another being, we are often overcome by a sense of loneliness because then what we want is for someone to hear out our thoughts, experiences, ideas, only to notice or appreciate our existence...what what meaning does an idea carry that is created and lost, without getting perceived by another person, what meaning does his existence have if everything he does or thinks, everything that makes him what he is, dies with him without getting noticed by anyone else.
