The world is coming to an end.

I call the next 100 years.

Reason: people are getting stupider.

Have a good day, everyone!


But we've survived this long 😄

I thought of that? But I'm thinking back then the great minds we worship today operated out of necessity.

Now, the point of life seems to be make stuff, sell stuff, buy stuff, use stuff, have stuff.

Stuff.

It's created jobs and given money value, but...

If we don't all just die under the weight of all the stuff we create we're headed for Wall-E territory.

And there may not be any great minds left with all the boys and girls trying to become Tony Hawkses and lady gagas and that apprentice guy.

Greed, Fame and un-necessary talent: that seems to be the life plan these days.

1two3go, why ?
what have people done now ?



NuhThingAh! People certainly aren't getting any smarter, though.

And with new and easier ways technology affords to wipe huge amounts of people off the face of the Earth I just feel that humanity's days are numbered is all.

I wished everyone a good day, didn't I? lol


They... have been fitting people with rfid tags for years lol, someone needs to just push the button lol.

Hey, can anyone imagine a world without jobs or money or even trade by barter?

Where everything was there for the taking. You could fuck anywhere, eat anywhere, shit anywhere, smoking and cigarettes wouldn't have been invented, no boundary laws, no taxes, no things, no property etc?


Everyone black, white, yellow, brown, mocca and all other shades I'm not mentioning got along in harmony engaging in one big orgy of love and happiness?

That's what heaven's supposed to be like...


































































...what a load of dick cheese.
































Plus, I don't think sex would be allowed in heaven.

i think you're giving us too much credit by assuming that we were once more intelligent



Life wasn't as simple as it is now, though.

Now almost everyone who isn't dying of thirst or hunger in a third world country's life can be summed up as go to school, get a job, buy lots of unncessary things, have sex, make a baby, die.

Those are the six milestones everyone who isn't smart enough to split an atom or clone a sheep but isn't dying of hunger or thirst in a 3rd world country achieves in their life.

What does it all mean, anyway?

If we die and there's a heaven, then what? We lives some more, except as robots without the bad things like unhappiness to make us appreciate the good things like joy?

What of if permanent blackness comes after death? "Well that was pointless" would be the thought if non-existent things could think. Even if you lived a full, interesting life permanent blackness seems a bit of a shitty way to end things, right?

The universe? Allegedly so huge there's millions if not thousands of planets out "there" wherever "there" is, with alternate realities existing side by side with this one. Aliens. Demons and ghosts. What'll happen to them when the world ends?

What IS this place?!

2gedanow:
what is, in your opinion, the root of ambition/drive to success ?

(truly interested in your POV)



Pain + Anger = Revenge

And success is the healthiest form of revenge.

You need BOTH pain and anger, though.

Without pain to mellow out your anger with sympathy you have someone who hates the world.

Without anger to numb your pain a little bit you have someone who is AFRAID of the world.

Neither of these two people have any ambition besides to cause others pain (person 1) or to protect themselves (person 2).

Someone with both has the odd combination of sympathy and a thick skin.

They will have their revenge, but they won't hurt people getting it.

And the only way I know how that is achievable is through success.

I'm speaking from personal experience, by the way.

I know one person who fits either of the above two people (anger w/o pain, pain w/o anger)in real life.

And I am the third type of person.

Our goals, desires, accomplishments etc mean nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Which is the greatest thing about human beings: we continue on with life despite being conscious of this.



So you want to move our motivational terms to a universe perspective?
Why would our ambitions and our vices be more important than the processes of energy that we are participating in?
It would be funny to rank the laws of nature by the level of perceived "goodness" and "justice"
Can you please try for my sake?
I would also like to hear someone yell at infinity, wouldn't that be just wonderful?

"Why the hell are these planets only rotating, when they can accomplish a greater density inside a black hole?
How lame of them. F*CKING DARK MATTER!" 😄

I like the fact that all of our terms are unusable and unnecessary out there.
It makes me god over my own meaning. (Which by the way is creativity)

This sounds smart... because I don't understand a word of it 😄

I don't fully agree with the anger+pain=revenge=healthy success although I agree in more modern times it's become the most acceptable/most used concept.
I put the blame squarely on Nirvana (the band, fwiw) 🙂



I dunno, man.

From my own experiences as someone who at first had nothing to prove to someone who wanted to prove something to himself, the two things I can pin point that have given me that spark are anger and pain.

Without the latter all I did was be an asshole to everyone around me and without the former I just sat moping in self-pity.

And again revenge isn't necessarily confined to other people:

You can seek revenge against a former YOU, you know.

I just wanted to remind you that true meaningfulness does not really exist.
We invented the term to be able to reward ourselves.
And evil may be descending from this insight when the reward is perceived to be fake.

Man, I kinda see no point to this big bad universe. It's like all there is to life is creation and discovery.

The two go hand in hand: a problem occurs and a solution is created to fix the problem.

But to what end?

Is that all we're here to do? To make babies for ever and ever and ever generation to generation?

People come in as people die in one endless spinning wheel of birth and death?

Unless you're an Einstein or an Adolf you won't be remembered years after your death?

And how about discovery?

How many more problems can we face before Man gives up completely?

Who will see our achievements when the last human being dies some ga-gillion years from now (it'll happen)?

When the world's food supply depletes we'll eat iPods!
ROFL the French Vanilla came out thru my nose 😕 OhEmGee
But then, why not?
I'm sure, by then Apple would employ some techies to invent digestion tabs that would aid in swallowing/digesting these (memba the tiny stick-like shuffle?) thingies.. and maybe an iOS upgrade that would help anyone upload any damn tune (including the most popular: World Hunger Belly Rumble) for the benefit of its www customers? its not a bad thought eh?


😛 you sound like those Super Models waiting greedily in line for the Miss Whatever crown and all chanting the World "Pease" mantra...


and you still havent answered my question?

Why should Man give-up Completely?



I dunno. Don't you get angry when life's problems pile up?
