"Douglas Adams
is the best philosopher ever." - Elon Musk
Hi
Yeah, I just started reading it. and Elon musk is my idol too. /I had made a video song tribute to him on my channel. I am not promoting it just wanted to share with elon fans
Actually “Deep Thought” came up with 42. Earth was built to find the ultimate question…. And it would take some time, but just as someone in a cafe in Rickmansworth was about to get to it, Earth was destroyed to make way for a hyperspace bypass…. And this is where Arthur’s journey really starts! Great story….. go read ALL five books!
thats his opinion not my opinion
I found the movie on here, and plan to watch it. This, and the other Ted things Elon Musk just did, are the primers.
"We Apologize For The Inconvenience" (God's final message to His creation)
Did no one else notice how he totally got a very important aspect of the book confused? The Earth didn’t give the answer it was built to find the question. So close but so so far, no surprise considering he walked away from the books inspired to try and replicate the Sirius cybernetics corporation…
The book is awesome, definitely some points and ideas illustrated in a very profound way that almost seem bigger in inspiration than a drunken thought…
Yes, Earth was built to find the question., and was just about to get there when the Vogons destroyed it.
Time is an allusion lunchtime, doubly so
While I disagree with Elon Musk on quite a few points, even vehemently, yeah, I fully agree with him here 🥰
(In fact, as I've told a couple of friends - if I had the opportunity to bring exactly _one_ person back to life, to live for another 20 or so years at least, it would be Douglas Adams. I'm pretty sure he'd give us some new perspective or other on the major things going so horribly wrong right now... Maybe not solutions, but new perspectives can _lead to_ solutions.)
There are those who understand the guide from a metaphysics perspective and those that don't. The gap is wide.
I was wondering about how Elon Musk have achieved so many things from a young age, I started to feel a bit belittle...- I want to write fiction- I thought, but I also thought that writing fiction wasn't as great as the things Elon has done.. like he have give his dedication to make his dreams come true. But then I understood that, most of the things that inspired Elon came from fiction, and I felt a relieve. Maybe I don't need to be like Elon Musk, maybe I just need to be myself. Then this video showed up! And it was so great to know, that the same book that inspired me to write fiction, inspired Elon to go beyond the stars.
what other books have u read that’s good?
You found yourself
Well said. Douglas Adams is the greatest author in my opinion
The hitch hikers guide to the galaxy was awesome. I saw the BBC series as a teen, and it felt like "someone gets me". As a teen, this felt pretty good.
I bet there are many people like Douglas Adams, but we never hear about them.
Wouldn't call it philosophy, I would call it the product of a philosophical mind though.
10 months old? This interview was published few days ago or somewhere around 20th of april 2022 on youtube.
No he has been talking about this book for a decade now.
42
in my opinion
other questions need to be asked and answered before "whats the meaning of life?"
like is there a god
and
what life are we really living like is our experience accurate to whats really going on
We give meaning to our lives…however life does not “mean” anything.
Does a painter give meaning to his canvas and brushes?
Picasso: “people that try to understand my paintings are barking up the wring tree”
Elon deserves his props, but I probably given him fewer than most Muskateers. This is NOT one of them. Everyone is permitted to have an opinion, but “greatest philosopher of all time?” re Adams (said during another interview) is a bit much … the value of the question vis-à-vis the answer has been discussed by Aristotle, and probably many other before and after him.
You can find philosophy in the show Seinfeld if you want to and look hard enough, but that does make you insightful, especially if you then go on to call Larry David, a great philosopher.
And yes, he gets the plot of the book wrong regarding 42, it was not the earth who came up with this answer. And, in another interview he mentions that 10 x 42 is 420, like an insightful 14 year old.
Should read the Bhagavad Gita - As It Is
42
Why?
@@Daniel-Davies-Gonstead-Student Because.
That's half of it.
he's remembering it slightly wrong ya know.. deepthought comes up with 42. the earth is the computer made to find the question.
I thought so too!
Hilarious series🤣🤣
I read that book and it didn’t make any sense 😭
It's somewhat of a tough read as it is all over the place at times but hidden within the jokes, the characters, and the adventure there is a lot of similarities to humankind and it's nature as a whole. So much to get into but maybe if you not only reread it but look up reviews and other people's opinions on it, it will help you understand Adams' writing style, humor and philosophy behind it.
It’s a great book but for Elon to say it’s the best work of philosophy just makes me think he hasn’t read very much philosophy, I mean it’s not even the best Sifi-comedy book to tackle philosophy (philosophically speaking), I mean slaughter house 5 has a more depth philosophically I’d say. Neither of these books are the best books on philosophy though, obviously. I love both and I’m not saying ones better than the other but I’m just saying his philosophy comment is ridiculous lol
Anyways I love hitcher hikers guide, Douglass A, Slaughter house 5, Kurt V and Elons space stuffs pretty cool (if only he’d stick to that)
in your opion, and this is elons

So many beloved companies have been brought out by the Sirrius Cybernetics Corporation. *sigh*
I think I know the answer to the question "what is the meaning of life?" I think the answer is "exist or existence itself." Whether by God or evolution or some higher power, we came to exist in this universe on a planet perfectly made. Existence it's self it the meaning whether good or bad happens, you exist so live life.
"All designs are wrong, it's just *how* wrong." - Elon Musk
I think you're very wrong.
If you actually took the time to watch the video you'd understand it is not the *answers* we are after, rather the *question/s*
@@Daniel-Davies-Gonstead-Student I know. I just think existence it’s self is the answer.
@@Daniel-Davies-Gonstead-Student Basically whatever the question is about life, the answer is simply existence. Whether by God or some random cosmic coincidence, we came to exist on this beautiful planet, our purpose is to simply exist whether the end result is good or bad. TO strive and grow and fail, to simply be Human, both the good and bad parts of being us.
@@TheZamaron Existence is an answer that can be applied to anything. That does sound like the ultimate answer to the ultimate question, but if you think about it, that is a question that our minds made up. It's not really the ultimate universal cosmic question. We are just atoms that form a self-aware organism. Life, death, and continuation are just mechanisms that an organism has. To us, the answer to life is simply existing because that's the thing we all need to be here in the first place. But not to the cosmos, the universe, and space-time.
…
Bro spit it out!
I'm gonna start pronouncing bias like Elon
"If you can properly phrase the question, the answer is the easy part." This muppet has negative media literacy, the whole point of that gag is that some questions have no answer, such as the meaning of life. It literally spells it out for you at the end of the book.
Do not have any idols before God repent and believe Jesus is coming soon ✝️
He's already been and gone.
Please read the translation of the holy Qur'an. It will answer all of your questions about life, why we're here on earth and give solutions to all of your problems.
Read it with an open mind and try to challenge it. It's the most-read book in the world and we Muslims believe it's verbatim of Allah SWT's words and message to humankind so it's very interesting to read. It answers everything even existential questions like "what's the meaning of life?" most logically and scientifically. Try to read it and judge it for yourself.
Yep, a book written by a kid-fucking warmonger gives you all the answers. If you are fucked in the head. So probably best of Elon doesn't read it, he os bad eneough already.
42
Why?
@@Daniel-Davies-Gonstead-Studentread the book or watch the episode of big bang theory you will get it
