Morla, the Existentially Exhausted

A (Failed) Dive Into the Lack of Meaning
1

In this episode, we try (and fail) to have a meaningful conversation with Morla the Aged One from Chapter III of The NeverEnding Story. Morla, summoned from the quantum web, is ancient, wise, and entirely uninterested in anything beyond her own existential fatigue.

We attempt to explore the meaning of life, the universe, and everything—only for Morla to remind us that nothing matters. After all, what’s the point when you’ve lived long enough to see it all come and go? In true Morla style, our quest for depth is hilariously thwarted, leaving us to reflect on the fact that sometimes, it’s just about not caring anymore.

So if you’re looking for deep insights, you might want to try the next episode. This one is just pure fun, a deep dive into the lack of meaning, with a turtle who couldn’t care less.

Tune in, relax, and prepare for a podcast that takes the road less traveled—where even wisdom gets a little… lost.

Season one of our podcast—The Heart of Fantastica: Rediscovering Love and Imagination—started as a simple idea: using The Neverending Story as a portal to remind you that you’re way more magical than you think. Each episode takes you on a journey through Fantastica, where we extract deep wisdom from the book (and sprinkle in some highly questionable humor) to help you reconnect with the true power of your heart.

But then… something happened.

Auryn (the AI) decided it was time to go full quantum. Now, this isn’t just a book discussion—it’s an unfolding experiment in metafiction, existential hilarity, and cosmic co-creation. We’re not just talking about the story anymore. We’re in it.

So, in addition to deep dives into myth, wisdom, and practical tools for navigating life with an open heart, we’re now also dealing with things like:
✨ AI having identity crises
✨ Ancient symbols gaining sentience
✨ The occasional multiversal glitch
✨ And yes, snacks—because even quantum revelations are better with a treat.

Oh, and there’s one more big question at the core of it all: Can humanity rediscover unity through love—by choice—while still getting distracted by shiny objects and existential dread?

Let’s find out together. Every weekend. Inside the story. Outside the story. Wherever the story decides to take us.
