Want something thats fckd up.

"The chances of intelligent life emerging is low – less than 0.01 per cent over four billion years."

The chances of earth being just the right distance away from the sun so we don't fry or freeze and were able to evolve less than 0.00000000001% roughly.

Also think about this we are made up of atoms and theres shit in them thats smaller. We are built up from minuscule things compounded to make...us. Walking is a series of controlled falls controlled by our brain...which is made up of atoms that are being electrocuted constantly.....tbh I'm just fckn babbling.

All of the heavier elements (Other than Helium and Hyrdogen) were created inside stars. Over the history of the universe every element other than those two were at some point created within stars. Therefore we are all composed of nothing more than stardust.

It`s just that at sometime humans have to realize their decisions involve mostly, them as individuals.. certainly having repercussions.

Sartre wanted people to acknowledge the universe is much larger and extense than John Doe`s puny-pittyful life and how immensely grotesque has grown the human ego.

Excistencialism isn`t about seeing people as nothing or picking on someone else, it`s very close to lead to humility watching it closely.

Most people are like mobile ego-mountains.


If you`re interested look for quotes from Emil Cioran. I believe he`s one of the best existencialist writer though he is seen by literates more as a tragicist.. Camous is good too but not as clear, and Sartre himself is BORING ASSSSSS HELLLLLL

 

[Olorin]

has anyone read The Stranger by Camus or anything by Sartre

 

[veggetta13]

I have.

Also Existencialism is a Humanism... I believe the 2nd one is a bit more sincere, but don`t enjoy Sartre much as a philosopher

Okay, could someone explain to me how our realities are dreams?
My mind is indeed fucked, can't seem to get my head around it.

Okay...

Are we in an Inception movie...?

Or a Matrix movie?
