There is 6,807,300,000 humans on earth and no one rly knows.
Thats why philosophy still exist.

My physics teacher said when we know everything there will
be end of the world? And why this is so? This is test
question for you. :D

supposedly there was a big bang and everything just came to
exist in that moment

probably wrong? quite hard to prove hehe

anyone think there is a god/alien intelligence that made
us?
we need to go find aliens on other planets
if there are humans on other planets just like us, that
would be fucked up
then maybe people would believe god again
in the millions of other planets, there is no other like
humans?
how come we all have eyes, nose. even dogs and cats? in that
case subjectivity is false philosophy, there is objective
reality, liberal social democracy/charlie brooker = fake
philosophy.

when kubrick done 2001 space oddysey he was thinking what
kind of higher intelligence there could exist in the
universe hmm
is there something like that flying around. and if there is
can we even meet him? maybe we will all die before meet
aliens hehe. but then some humans were all aliens of
different countries, now we go to other countries by
aeroplane to fuck their women and drink their beers hehe

ne1 think string theory is a load of bollocks??

It seems unlikely there is a purpose for your existence or
the existence of anything. If there was a purpose then it
would probably be evident to a species as intelligent as
ours.

if you figured out the meaning of our existance, or how are
universe exists, it would probably reconstruct it's self
into something even more complex.

human being are only capable of thinking of things begining
and ending, where in fact there was never a beginning to the
universe, we are so primitive that the truth would be
impossible for our brains to process. unless we linked our
brain power together somehow, like when you daisly chain 2
computer processosors together to be able to process all
those plug ins and VSTs

you exist cos your daddy fucked your mummy

and so on
so what we need to do is to find the first fuckers of the
universe
ask to them "why fuck?"

i don't know why anything exists. neither do you. one thing
i do know is that things can be awesome sometimes. so maybe
that's why. things exist for the sake of awesomeness.

But I think that strays from the original question of why is
there something rather nothing? Or maybe they are related?

Are we the reason for the Universe?

try this on for size:

imagine the alternative to things existing: absolute
nothingness (a void)

now before we get into the semantics of is a void a thing or
not, let's just assume it's not and that before there were
things, there was a void.

would you agree that reality is more-or-less reliant and
built upon it's natural laws rather than the things
themselves. so if we wanted to replicate a void, we'd have
to extinguish the natural laws that make up the things that
exist.

that being said, a void is a place of absolute nothingness,
but also of infinite possibility since there are no laws
restricting it from doing whatever the hell it wants to do.

so the void (out of what is essentially random quantum
fluctuations), spits out the universe. it does this by
restricting possibilities, because a field of infinite
possibilities would be unstable, and wouldn't remain a void
for very long, if at all.

so... things exist because they have to exist.

"Rather than being like the webcam attached to our
computers
we actually SEE what is before us."

Not true - you are worse than the other animals. Due to
thought, the eye sees only an interpretation of what it's
looking at, never what it's looking at.

Nobody or nothing sees anything. If a creator exists it
would have to be made of something completely different to
the star dust that has created everything around us.

i once met a playground roundabout that had
self-awareness...

he was miserable that his life was going nowhere and felt he
was just going round in circles.

his mate the seesaw wasn't much happier, he was always up
and down.
