    You know, there's a foundational idea in string theory that the whole universe may be a hologram. the holographic principle suggests that what we all experience every day in three dimensions may really just be information on a surface located at the farthest reaches of our cosmos. So it's possible that our lives are really just acting out a painting on the largest canvas in the universe.

    I cling to the hope that there is something more after death. I think about the size of the universe and how small we are. There's definitely something with vast power at work that is controlling everything. Not sure I believe in a benevolent creator, but I think that there is too much going on that is by design, for it to be a complete fluke

    That odds that you were every going to be born at all are so ridiculous that death really isnt worth worrying about.

    A few years ago I read DMT the spirit molecule and a few other books relating to that subject that I can't remember now. A doctor was conducting medical research into the psychedelic compound DMT and came to believe that the subjects were experiencing something real. It's very interesting and certainly plausible considering how little we really know about the universe and parallel dimensions etc.

    I think we're all like little ants, being born, running around doing jobs, and dying. But I think we're the luckiest species really because we can enjoy things and have the concepts of love, attachment, family...
    That's nice.
    I intend to enjoy it all.

    I don't think there's any higher purpose really, or that we have to fulfill a purpose in our life, aside from maybe advancing/protecting/ensuring the smooth running of the species and reproducing.

    Or in the words of Voltaire, "tout est au mieux dans le meilleur des mondes".
    (all is for the best in the best of possible worlds)




    It's Friday, I have beer in my belly, I feel like an eternal optimist. :cool:
    I must remember to unfollow the thread before Sunday evening.

    oh that's true although I don't really see your point about justice and revenge, it just reminded me that we have vices and some of us can be evil.


    Ah yeah but sure, beer and all that... that's all grand. La la la...

    Actually hope he/she is OK. Quite a dark sentiment to express, and then just disappear after one post.

    Something with the power to design our universe exists? That's a complete fluke!
