7:30 AM tbh I don't know why I'm still up. Played some poker earlier then read some convo between me and floofy I had saved. Ugh
also found these, innovative enlightenment
as of now I unno what to do with my life. I'm switching colleges in October, WoW is surprisingly still entertaining, poker is poker, life is good. But when you look at the bigger picture, or rather, the biggest picture, nothing seems to matter. Humans are so insignificant in this universe, and what we comprehend could be less than a microspasm of true wisdom and understanding. Ants in an ant farm do not know they're being observed by higher creatures, because they do not have the mental capacity to comprehend much more than serving their queen, gathering food, and decorating their homes. What is out there in the universe and beyond, nobody knows. If space stretches out into infinity, anything imaginable and not could exist.
Furthermore, what is the meaning of our existence? All of our goals are the same - to live a happy and/or successful life. What happens in the end happens to everybody. Then why are we here? We were meant to be born, grow old, be revealed a negligible glimpse of existence, then disappear. Are we an experiment? Are we part of a greater cause we cannot even begin to realize? Maybe, maybe not.
Time is an interesting theory. Time is often known as the "4th dimension." A fixed dimension, that alters the other three dimensions. Emphasis on the fixed. I don't believe that time is a variable, nor do I believe in the concept of "randomness." Let's make a constant - Alpha, which represents the chronological standing of the creation of existence. Let's pretend that out of nowhere, for unknown reasons, matter in its simplest form was created, at exactly time Alpha. Let's also pretend that exactly one year later from Alpha, the matter has somehow, for unknown reasons, formed into a planet, with simple life forms. One hundred billion years later, a life form known as fira is typing on his computer, writing this long pointless essay not really about any topic in particular. Now stop at this moment, pretend that Alpha to ALpha+100,000,001 years in itself is an individual segment of that which represents time, known as Alpha Earth. Now pretend that in a different universe, dimension, or dome of existence, an exactly identical particle at a second Beta hour has been created. The environment and factors are identical to that which Alpha Earth was created in. This matter, like Alpha Earth, would evolve and progress in the exact same way, would it not? Since the factors in the very start of Beta were identical to those of Alpha, there wouldn't be any reason that Alpha and Beta result differently in one year, or 100 million years, or until the end of time. All life forms, including fira, in both planes, would still be typing his essay, undaunted by his sleepless schedule he has unconsciously permiitted himself of.
Having said all that, the concept of free will is put into question. If time is a fixating constant of the other three dimensions, then it is time that is progressing each and every one of our futures, not ourselves. Bob is 30 years old, works at a company as a software engineer, and drives a large truck. One day as he's driving home, he spots an attractive young virgin walking on the street to the right, and at this exact moment when his attention was not fixed on the road ahead, he crosses over the train tracks and gets hit by the passing train. There were no survivors. Was this tragedy really a misfortune? Or was it just another event in the passing of time, set to happen infinite years ago, by the powers that unleashed Alpha? Did Bob really have a choice of how he would live his life? Of course, Bob was not suicidal and did not want to be hit by the train, nor did the passengers on the train want to murder Bob, but neither had a choice. All occurrences, like Bob's accident, are the product of infinite years of the evolution of Alpha. Every movement we make, every breath we take, every thought we believe are contrivances of our own knowledge and brain activity are actually the products of Alpha. We are puppets in a never-ending theater, given only the sense of freedom.

Have you ever wondered which hurts the most: saying something and wishing you had not, or saying nothing, and wishing you had? | |

I thought about that a couple years ago, not this alpha beta shit, but more like how many things can be right in front of our noses that we cannot comprehend due to brain limitations.
however, a purppose to life should be forget, you should just live the way it is because you'll never find a true meaning for life.
and don't kill yourself or any student plz. |

I had one lvl 60 warlock, then the game got boring, people are dicks and retarded nerds => playing it became stupid and unentertaining => I quit. Will never touch it again ewww!
And about Bob... Bob died happy watching some hot gals ass'n'bebz, but saying there were no survivors makes you wonder how the hell did everyone on the train die. THAT is the real tragedy. |

That's a shame, BC brought so much content and all the new encounters require quite a bit of skill and team coordination. The new PVP system also rox. |

there is indeed no free will. Nietzsche and many great ancient greek philosophers (Epikouros, Epiktitos) have come to this conclusion centuries ago.
Free will is the basis of religious perceptions about life |
