MK is completely terrified that there may be no "true version" of himself, and that..additionally, his life may be meaningless, that love..and by extension those who love him, those he loves, and his love for self, is ultimately rooted in folly.
To be fair to MK, most humans do not like thinking they are finite, it reminds them of their mortality.
In the scope of 13.8 billion years yes, our lives are meaningless, even mine. But in the scope of the time you are born to the time you die, our lives as individuals certainly have meaning. We all want love, we all want security and safety where we live, and we all want a means to survive.
Best way to deal with MK is to offer him Sushi. It may not get him to change his mind, but I've warn him out a bit and I don't think he sees me as an enemy.
His romantic view of his religion annoys me sure, but by no means am I worried about him booking a one way flight into a skyscraper.
MK does not scare me as much as many of our right wing conservatives here in the states.
