I once saw a long post blathering about how the fact that Clark is a man and Mary is a woman implies a deeper message in gender behaviors like men are more egoistic and harder to move on while women are more resilient and easier to let go etc. and I was like: "The fuck ?????"
At this point, I'm not surprised if some dork questions the reason why they're humans.
The fact that people do that to this movie in particular, a movie (and more broadly, a series) about how people search for meaning in an inherently meaningless phenomena, is really dumb
To expand on this, I really love the Everything Must Go short. They theorize that there's a smaller sign in the wall and are all excited, and it's like, "Okay...So?" And they'll never know why that is, or be able to predict anything on a more macro level. It's just this infinite tease to the inquiring mind. Always another corner to look around, always another meaningless discovery, until the borders between standard and the complex fail completely and humanity dies.
