I just realized how much of this is an extension of mimetic coercion. You are right, it is merely rhetoric; with the function of this speech act serving a larger social function of pacifying the state of unease the speaker feels when faced with the boundless infinity that lays before their eyes amidst their bounded state of limited possibilities; in the end there is a degree to which everything we do is a byproduct of self delusion. Our whole biology is merely centered around the fulfillment of a function; the moment you pass that event horizon of sexual maturity you have no choice but to abseil a slippery slope; granted we have some perceived volition (who knows maybe everything we do is an extension of a Frankfurt experiments) over the grade of our descent, we are all in the process of descending.

I wish I could do something for you, but it would be arrogant of me to suppose that I demand such great importance as to be able to affect a positive effect; after all I am merely 1/6,000,000,000, bounded by the corporeality of my own existence; in spite of any aspirations to establish a metaphysical bond with others that transcends the bounds of space, language, time, etc.
