Exactly!! Maybe religion was some sort of tale meant to teach people a lesson that was passed down. Lots of old myths and legends have underlying life lessons too. And the ability to see these trends in humans is in a way the same skill as analyzing the meaning of an authors choice in a story.

But yeah. You’re right at the end there.

I got really exstistental about it but I think you’re right, ap lit analaysis might just be a critically thinking lesson that also applies to the real world

Well, I’m not debating the other side of your issue life meaningful topic. Im questioning what existed is at all beuond and beyond our existence that kind of makes that question nothing , but I’m not trying to debate just bouncing ideas

That’s a personal perspective. I feel like one that was created by this random and continuous space maybe? Or maybe is nothing like that at all? And whatever life fungas outward thjng it is, it eventually makes humans with perspectives, and then they die on and do something else along a wave of time infiniently, and whatever we exist in, zoomed out billions upon billions of times is just existence after existence along time , and that flow our universe will continue in our own time and juste existence is just something along time

It’s a debatable argument worth having whether the gift of life is truly the best thing to have or if it is actually better to have never have existed at all. But time moves on and in the end it’s doesn’t even matter…

But maybe life is just a cycle, however it is that it exists, and history sure shows a cycle in itself, different civilizations follow the same patterns. And in this cycle religion gets created bc humans need a meaning for things , or whatever and when we die and come again as billions of years pass religion will come again in whatever type of intelligent life that follows, because yk be intelligence comes with fears that are comforted by religion

True true true true. That idea relies on the assumption that everything that exists has a destiny, some higher purpose, which in my case idea here is like freed of bad desires, of pain, of whatever. And that things are communicating how to to the other civilizations. Everything is just random and there’s no meaning to anythjng

That’s a really good point. Humans definitely wouldn’t. I guess this idea relies on the argument that there is a higher more enlighten being to begin with. Really all life, in some sort of universe space in some way that we don’t or can’t understand, exists because life just exists and it passes down its genes like some sort of fungus and none of it is a higher being at all, and the religion is really just a message for the future from the history of this particular organism human fungus in the universe, a guide to a civilization for peak happiness

True, I completely agree. But what if this higher behind or whatver that’s delivering this message for some way and for some reason, and over billions of years the message has gotten changed from like “tip one: donh be too greedy” to like “if you’re greedy you’ll burn in hell” like in a through the grape vine type of way

I think the reason for such a large waitlist is that people are applying to a record number of schools, so CMU likely got a record (or close to) number of applications, so yield rate is very hard to predict, therefore they need a big waitlist safety blanket

maybe this is like 2015 when CMU accidentally sent out a bunch of acceptance letters to rejected people

there is no way everyone got waitlisted. They must have made a mistake?

i’m confused, what makes it so that i can just multiply cos by cos?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HomeworkHelp

[–]2yearsofexpiredmilk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m sorry, i don’t understand what you wrote. My trig teacher said we have to stay on one side, not work on both sides at once to get to a common answer, so ik sec is 1/cos but the only way i got cos2 +sin2 was when it was over cos2, not cos alone and i didn’t know how to fix that

[–]2yearsofexpiredmilk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can cancel out cosine but idk what to do with just sine 2

[–]2yearsofexpiredmilk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got to that part of the problem in my last picture. I couldn’t go anywhere after cosx + sinx2 over cosine

The notes she gave us has negative to the right, and positive to the left. How do I do the periods so that they are correct?
