"Sanity is Merely the Delusion
Your Normal." - Kalai

Back to the
Main Philosophy page.
Okay, for the first edition of my philosophical
rants I'll be tackling the big issues, you know, the purpose of the Universe
and Humanities place in, nothing too complex. Okay I'll be on with it.
Now recently I've actually come to
the conclusion that a God somewhere does exist. Hey I know that statment
may sound bizarre to all of the people who know me, but it's true, I honestly
now believe in a God. I know this is more Theological than Philosophical,
but hear me out.
Do you know how I've come to this most
startling of conclusions? It's simple I, unlike any other Philosopher in
history have inexplicable and undeniable proof that something that is perfect,
can create perfection and is obviously all wise is out there. Now
your all thinking that I've gone off my nut again and that this time I've
finally thrown it all in, but I've got a picture of this most fine specimen.
And there she is, in the picture to
the left. Vivian Hsu. Seeing a picture of such an absolutely divine being,
can you deny that there is a god out there somewhere? Or that she is possibly
even a goddess herself? You can click on any picture of her and get the
enlarged version of the picture.
Now apart from that divergance we'll
get back onto the main topic of today's conversation. The reason the Universe
exists and Humanities purpose in it.
Complex huh? Well not really. But first
off I'm going to start back with Aristotle. He was the one who started
talking about all sorts of crazy ideas like "Virtue" And even further back
was good old illiterate Socrates and his scribe Plato, who went on and
on about "Goodness." Like we give a damn. And now we have Existentialism
in power, no philosopher gets ahead these days without shouting at the
top of his lungs that "God is Dead" - Nietzsche. As fun as that
sounds I don't think that I am really up for that sort of screaming.
Everyone these days, really everyone
since Socrates has been concentrating upon Humanity at the expense of trying
to find the purpose of the Universe. It's
like trying to find out what a Hard Drive does without having the slightest
idea of what a computer is or does. Believe me, if you did not know anything
about Computers, and I mean nothing you would come up with numerous
theories about it's purpose but most likely you would never get the correct
answer. Now try and figure out the equivilent of a transciever inside the
Hard Drive inside the Computer. You'll never get it right, and even if
you did it would be so impossible, so unbelievable you'd reject it out
of hand.
And here we are again, this one really
does kill me, just that tender parting of her lips as she leans forward.
She could quite easily be sitting looking at her lover or being told sad
news. Gah, she's just so gorgeous.
Now we must turn our minds to why the
Universe exists. It would be easy to find out if it was actually alive,
not necessarily sentient, but alive, something
that did will itself into existance. Who is to say that Life has to be
organic? Why couldn't Stars and Planets be just as living as a person?
They both give off energy, something that animals and plants do also, if
you don't believe me, find out how the Electric Eel in the Amazon hunts
it's prey. It uses an advanced electric sensor that detects the electrical
discharge that animals give off when they use their muscles.
Now working on the premise that the
Universe is alive, then Humanities place in it is that of an interactive
organism. Considering the way we are destroying the Earth then most likely
we are the equivilent of a small virus or harmful bacteria. Not too dangerous
at the moment, but say we get off the Earth, spread through the galaxy
and eventually the Universe. Uh Oh, we're becoming a plague, spreading
and destroying as we go.
Gods really do walk the planet, Vivian
Hsu in a School Dress? How ever will I cope? Oh and by the way for
all of you who think I have a younger girl syndrome, Miss Hsu would be
around 27 now. |
