Random Philosophical Thoughts

[Save_Ferris]

SDFA (searched, didn't find anything)

This is a thread for us who ponder about the meaning of existence when OT has no new posts

Does anybody have some random thoughts that they have had recently?

I just realized that even infinity is not infinity. You can have infinite points on the smallest segment. Since there is infinite theoretical space in infinite dimensions, Infinity^Infinity things exist.

All is one, and one is all. Day is night, white is black. Stars are suns. We live in worlds with no beginning nor ends, infinitely connected yet ultimately unique. The past is the future is the present, and change is permanence. The unity of all things is the only truth.

All we are is dust in the wind dude

I think it was D-d-derrida who said there was no such thing as actual empirical truth

There are many different kinds of infinity. For instance, there are an infinite quantity of integers, and an infinite quantity of real numbers. But there are an infinite number of real numbers between any two arbitrary real numbers, while there are a finite number of integers between two arbitrary integers. I don't really understand much beyond that mathematically - but the point is that there are many kinds of infinity, and some infinities are "bigger" than others. I'm sure if you go to a math thread, you'll find someone who can blow your mind much further on the concept of infinity.

Entropy is the true ruler of the universe, and we're all here for a limited time - even black holes.

Our souls are connected with the Source - there is no task too great that cant be accomplished.

Congrats That one is always an epiphany.

Another one is when you realise that the World is objective and can only be that way.

The second law of thermodynamics blows my mind whenever I think about it. If it comes down to it, it's the reason why we can recognize causality and the direction of the flow of time.

An even better one is when you realize that this is nonsense.

Why free will?

 

[mayor]

Because people want to control their own lifes or at least have the idea they control their own lifes

heh, no contradiction between these two statements

 

[Leoreth]

I hope you plan to elaborate?

 

[classical_hero]

It is simply mind over matter. I don't mind, since you don't matter.

Spolier alert!

Is the second law of thermodynamics subjective?

 

[Leoreth]

How is that even relevant?

"There exists one thing which is not subjective" is not equivalent to "Everything is objective". That's logic for pre-schoolers.

And since you dragged your original claim into the realm of physics, I suggest you take a look at these two guys: Heisenberg and Bell.

I wrote "the World is objective" not "everything is objective" - that's reading skills for pre-schoolers

Anyways, let it pass - I'd rather read some more random philosophical ideas.

Here is another very philosophical thought: Sweetheart is like bottle of wine, wife is like wine bottle.

I neither want to derail the thread nor argue with you for the sake of it, but now I'm genuinely interested what your definition of "the world" is.
