Adult version of "there is no santa clase"

i used to think about this stuff all the time and read up on it, but then i came back from my wonderland of information about the universe and realized that none of it matters. understanding where we came from does not help me for the future in any way, and knowing that my life is predetermined is stupid and i dont give a shit whether it is true or not. i have come to the conclusion that thinking of the search for self is an extreme waste of time. we are on this earth for a short period and our goal is to make it as sweet as possible, so i extinguished superfluous thought from my mind and decided to focus on doing what i love, skiing.
 
Nope, not really, you realize you sound extremely sophomoric right now? Also my ego can take one person thinking I'm not smart, you must kill it with the ladies when your not on the internet bromego.

Youre showing everybody that i thought you were asmart member of physics forums, then i found out you were just an average ns douchebag? Haha
 
Oh and calling me sophmoric. Do you get a hard on when you use big words like that, jerking it to your reflection in a vanity mirror while reciting shakespeare and watching a beautiful mind in the background, imagining that your clinical depression must be a sign that youre smart, when in reality your just an average depressed douchbag who cant even participate in the sport of his chosen website?
 
Wow man, my second post must have really hit a soft spot. I think we can tell a lot about you, just from the fact when one person questions your intelligence you become so angered and so defensive. You break down and can no longer have a real conversation. You realize i do not care if you think my intelligence is above or below average, because I have self esteem, friends and other things going on in my life, I don't need to justify my self worth by keeping a conversation going about a post i made a year ago on another site. You really do seem like a very sad and miserable person, who does nothing but sit behind a computer screen, and your only happiness in life. Is when you get talking down to others over the internet. Go out side meet some people make some friends and try to smile every once in a while it goes a long way.
 
This debate is getting petty and it's sad to see it happening in a thread with such potential.

This eventual realization was certainly a big turning point in my life. It definitely made me stop believing in god, and I was a pretty devout believer before. I would absolutely say the result has been net positive on my life, though. I am happy to be a part of a system which has no purpose or life or pre-determinism or end. I ultimately ended up on with a very Sagan-esque conclusion, which is an appreciation for the complex system that we are a part of. There is so much beauty in this chaos.

I'm so happy to be such an intricate organism. My neurons drive me to wildly feeling extremes like happiness and anger and jealousy and passion. I mean fuck, I have this think called skiing in my life and it's effect on me has been grander than anything else. I don't even know how to explain the feelings I get when I'm skiing or watching skiing or thinking about skiing. I don't even care to try and trivialize why I feel the way I do, because I already know how trivial it is, just like how trivial everything is. But it doesn't matter. I somehow ended up as a group of molecules on this planet Earth during a short spec of time when humans were a relatively advanced species. Our collective intelligence has been developing for a few thousand years which has brought us the capability to even comprehend our existence beyond believing we are the product of a god. And I get to share these thoughts with you all. It's really, really wonderful to be a human, even if we don't have free will or are the ultimate species of the universe.
 
I'm dropping out of this argument due to the amount of butthurt passive aggressiveness of trying to prove/disprove free will. Self awareness is my argument, and that's about all I can say.

Also people need to stop acting like there is proof/disproof of everything. Realize that there are continuous debates in the scientific community.
 
Btw the ideas i presented in this thread dont necessarily disallow the possibility of a God, even though the possibility of a traditionally viewed God are indeed nullified. If determinism is true than you can think of the universe as God, because the universe is all knowing. If you had all the information in the universe than you could possibly predict the future with total certainty. But, we still dont know if determinism is true so the question is still up in the air.
 
comprehension fail... look up "for all intensive purposes" you twat. you probably still feel really smart but maybe now you can feel a little smarter
 
Cooling has been banned for months now. He made an account "worstmemberever" couple weeks ago and the law caught up with him. I'm the only one who understands him
 
alright, so we may not be in control of our own actions but somehow we still end up being fairly unique individuals with pretty complex emotions.To me this still gives the human conscious value.

It sounds as though you are trying to ask, knowing that we are nothing but the product of chemical reactions, whether or not life is still or can be valuable or meaningful, even though we may not be as in control of it as we think.
 
it is simple we are alive because of the unexplainable idea of a consciousness. although it is connected to a bunch of nonliving chemical reactions it still makes is unexplainable that we as humans have sense of individuality and are conscious to the world it is our ability to act of our own will and even by instinct that allows us to be called alive
 
Missed this thread and I skipped over all the replies but holy fuck OP you sound like a retarded version of a 15 year old that just discovered the concept of psychological evolution
