Abstract
Qoheleth (Ecclesiastes) and the 2022 film Everything Everywhere All At Once understand the embrace of life's meaninglessness as essential for learning how to live meaningfully. Whereas life's pervasive meaninglessness leads Qoheleth to recommend enjoyment (of food and drink) as the ultimate good, the film insists that the optimal response to life's meaninglessness is to adopt postures of vulnerability and kindness, and to understand how failure can be a virtue.
