Will existence fall apart without us?  Are humans REALLY that important?  Do we NEED to accomplish this or that?  Take away the urgency of righteousness and epic causes, and every endeavor becomes quantified by whether or not it propagates fulfillment.  The rest is just cool dress-up we can choose to engage in.

    It will probably do a hell of a lot better without us.

    I don’t think there is any inherent meaning in human existence, or life generally, but we are able to think and act, are in fact unable not to do so, so long as we’re alive. So the way I figure, we might as well take advantage of this and see what we’re capable, have fun, make life better for others.

      Hopefully we won’t suffer the same fate…who knows what AI and quantum computing will bring? I don’t think humans have ever seen a thirty year period like the one we’ve just experienced! 🙂

    Does propagating fulfilment include survival? Considering everything humanity has done to get where they are started from survival. Or would that be a given nature of humanity and then it becomes what we survive for?

    Sorry. You make me ask questions. So I’m not sorry. 🙂

      Well I think it mostly does. But send the imagination down into some dark places, and I can easily imagine some scenarios where my fulfillment would require my death.

        We apparently shrunk down to that size to get away from them and then re-emerged as early primates after the meteor hit. lolz

    Quite rightly so!
    Universe 14 billion years old and approx. 40 billion light years ‘wide’.
    We an’t a big deal. We need to get with that programme and we’ll all feel a lot better just grooving on down making the best of our lives in the best way we individually can.

      The best way for me to view it is as a big game—obviously we’re given clues on how to play (I need to breathe, eat, I feel nice when I can do someone a favor, etc.) but yeah I agree with you: as far as stressing over who created it or why the game was created…why stress out about it?

        From my perspective I guess I’ll find out sometime in the span of Creation, but in the meantime, let’s enjoy the ride.
