    If you look at the life of a butterfly, knowing that they only live a short life, during the summer months. Then imagine if the butterfly had intelligence, how could you describe "Winter" to them? There would be no evidence for it, even though it is real, to the butterfly, a snowflake would seem like a myth.

      I mean, our problems may be objectively insignificant on a universal scale, but theyre significant to us. I agree with the overall sentiment though, I just think it's a little invalidating to people who struggle with mental illness or who are going through problems that they can't simply brush off by thinking about how insignificant they are in the universe.

    "Freedom is not a right in the universe. It is a privilege and a luxury. Your values may argue with this, but your expectations eventually must conform to the real circumstances of life. Individual freedom is extremely valuable, but it is not guaranteed, and you cannot claim it as a right. You will be shocked to find, as you begin to learn about and even experience the Greater Community in which you live, how rare freedom really is.
    Freedom itself is always relative. You never have complete freedom of movement and expression. In concert with others, you cannot do whatever you want or say whatever you want, and you understand this. You will never have this freedom if you are living in association with others and if you are functioning to survive as a group, as a nation and as a people. Therefore, freedom is always relative to your circumstances, to your affluence and to the degree of stability and security you have been able to establish and to maintain over time."
    A quote from the free online book entitled *Life in the Universe* - Chapter 8: Freedom in the Greater Community.

I find your stories and videos to be inspirational and tend to tackle much of my own internal struggle. I would love to learn more about your process for writing if you have the time? If not, I would really appreciate if you can point towards your own inspirations or where I can go to better my own writing. Thank you once again!

    Hi
    "What are you?"
    This is my first comment, that's an actual comment. Every comment that I have posted until now has been words of encouragement - a mere gesture of kindness for few of my family members, friends and deserving acquaintances.
    Your contents - both the audio and visual aspects of it, are extremely unique, and has an interesting vibe.
    Beautifully articulated as stories, these pieces, atleast for me, are sophisticated, independent, rational and abstract.
    I wonder, if the pursuit of wonder is a one person, or a team.
    I would like to know if this narrator, same in all of your videos is also 'the writer,' or just a brilliant script reader for another writer, writers?
    Don't know how other commenters feel, but personally, I feel that the pursuit of wonder is mostly a one person team.
    Can you upload a vlog, or atleast one RUclips live?
    If that's uncomfortable for you somehow, I am sorry and I understand.
    I would also appreciate, if anyone could share interview clips or news article about this channel.

You could have thousands of years of deposition wiped out through glaciation or any number of processes. Only the thin, sporadic bands of what is left, or has been remoulded, are what we have to analyze. The vast majority of all life that has ever lived, as well as mountains, rivers, and geological features that have ever existed, have not left any historical trace or fossil on the Earth, and we have zero chance of recovering this data.

All science can say is, "There was no such thing as time and space before the big bang. Just nothingness". They can guess and theorize, but we'll never really know.

    This is why I am confused when people argue against the concept of a "God" and afterlife.
    We scarcely understand what we already know, how can we be so certain about what we don't know.
    You, the flesh sack that is all that you are, is a combination of millions of years of atoms, molecules and cells, combining, forming something, breaking down, living, dying and repeating until, like winning the lottery, the right combination formed you.
    You didn't understand or were aware of what came before you. Why can't life continue after death? It just carries on on a higher plane of existence.
    Why couldn't a God be a combination of elements, forces and energy so far beyond our limit of comprehension that it's just too big to understand?

    • @bspus
      @bspus 2 года назад +1

      What you are describing has little to no resemblance to God. At least not the concept of God the vast majority have in their minds.
      Of course there can be forms of life far more advanced than ours. Nobody in their right mind would deny the possibility, even sworn atheists.
      I would even concede that the universe as a whole could have some form of consciousness on a scale we could never grasp, just like your cell-organism analogy.
      Of course on the other hand I have zero evidence to point to that and probably never will, so i dismiss that concept as something that has no bearing on how I live.
      I am agnostic in the same sense regarding God in any of its traditional concepts in religions, but would argue I have even more reasons to be skeptical. Religions do not just preach the existence of (a) God. They include specific morals and a value system and advocate particular lifestyles which they attach to this concept of God. They also assume implicitly or explicitly that each individual matters and may be observed by God. Furthermore, if you study a bit about the roots of such religions and how they evolved over time, it becomes rather obvious they they serve specific purposes. Not just the interests of groups that use them as an instrument to control the masses, but even deeper, regarding human nature. Religions, and their concept of God, i have little doubt, are man made. I just can't prove it and neither can anybody else.
      No religion I am aware of has ever preached the existence of a God on the premise you described. Such a religion would be devoid of any moral teachings and thus useless in almost every way. In the end even I would have to wonder what use such a concept of God would be to any one at all.
      As far as afterlife goes, again no proof of course but I don't see how one could believe in it unless one also believes that life is something more than a natural process and consciousness something more than an emergent phenomenon of such a process. So instead of asking why it can't continue after death, shouldn't you explain why even entertain the thought of it somehow carrying on after the biological machinery that supported it broke down? Cause if it does, then why did it need that machinery in the first place?

    Earth is already a "form" of a prison.
    It is also a gleaming beam of awe.
    All depends how you look at it.

    GOOD! I don't want extra-galactic aliens coming here. Even if they mean well, they could still mess up our planet and species in inconceivable ways. For example, maybe they have a certain idea or religion or concept that could completely destroy our perception of reality. I hope we are left in peace for as long as possible.
