geokker Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 You say 'Why me'. I believe there is no why. Everything happens according to a rule. We are just ripples from the beginning - possibly the Big Bang. Like a particle of shrapnel tumbles from an explosion, we walk about, talk, think etc. There is no inevitability, it all simply has to happen the way it happens.

geokker Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 That's a thought provoking comment karlfreak. Think about the implications of determinism and it's really quite intense - trust me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamela2888 Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 I think we all exist for a reason... being to change the world in one or more insignificant way. Be it a kind word to a stranger, planting a tree on the earth, or as a child of your parents... we're all here for a reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good try, karlfreak old buddy old pal - now: Is her answer predetermined? Were you meant to be let down?

geokker Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 pamela2888, can the physical reason of particles knocking about be a reason? Or do you mean a supernatural/religious fundament? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfreak Posted July 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 ok tis is really not right that previos post was finished by my sis as i was in the shower and what i was trying to say was that if we are put on a designated path and set only to change the earth in a small way, where is the fun :xx: ) i would also then like to point out a few key figures 1.alexander the great2.napolean3.martin luther king4.adolf hitler5.albert einsteinthese 5 change the world in a ways that we still don't understand think about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamela2888 Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Oh yeah... btw.. its ironic because I JUST did research on Napolean and Alexandre the Great for a research paper. I was trying to think of ppl to top that... and the only ppl I could come up with at the moment are religious figures, Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa, oh yeah Ghandi deserves to be there... but he's not religious. They have an excellent database of interesting and influential ppl at the TIME magazineMy previous post... I was in a very tired, drowsy mood, so I didn't articulate what I wanted to say in a profound way. I meant to say that we're put here on this earth not to necessarily make a BIG enough change to end up in your history textbook (but if you want it's surely possible) but hopefully make a difference in someone's life with kindness. I guess its a more supernatural/ religious fundament than scientific explaination, but its a simple and concise way i suppose to look at life. I think we're just here to love and be loved.

geokker Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Everything I know about God I've learnt from other people. I don't trust other people therefore, I will remain skeptical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akw2000 Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 what if The sims asked the same question? our brain are working exactly like a computer, applying(or trying to apply) logic on everything that we see,hear or in any way register. Maybe that isn´t a sign of us being artificial or inside the matrix. being able to make logical conclusions is an important thing to survive. i mean, what if nobody realised it was a bad idea to run into a wall until you die? maybe our "logical" brain is a result of evolution. The first living things with only one cell was also working with logic i.e it is good to eat. i doubt it can think, but perhaps it is genetically programmed, just like a computer? that wouldn´t make the universe artificial. that would just make a computer program with A.I a basic copy of life.

ultmovelz Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 AI derives from human intelligence, but there is more in technology than we know. Just like our having a universe AI also has a universe, except it is inanimate but still thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
