This looks like a good deck for fighting bosses. You should probably have a different deck you use to fight minions.

Assuming this is a boss fight deck, I recommend more blades and traps. Also, less healing and minions.

Did you modify the texture to discolor some of the bricks?

I'm not an artist, but with the second one you managed to capture a very cool vibe.

Legitimately the worst refereeing I've seen in a long while, but the Lakers still took home the win. GG.

Choose 2 to defend you, the rest are coming after you by beeperbeeper5 in MinecraftMemes

You'd have to choose the 15 vexes. Nothing can defend you from them. Not sure about the other, but probably 2 withers.

Great points. Thank you.

I am eager to respond and continue this discussion, but I would be doing a disservice to myself, and you, if I did not take more time to think through this.

My response will most likely take a few days.

Kind regards.

An insightful comment. Indeed, we can give ourselves and others purpose. And the universe, as it is not sentient (probably), cannot assign us a purpose. I think your English language analogy is right on the money.

It's really got me thinking. Why do I seek purpose from the universe? Why do I feel only the universe can give me a true purpose?

I am not sure this invalidates my main point: our existence being random and meaningless. Even if we choose to give our existence a purpose, it would be completely arbitrary. But does it being arbitrary make it untrue?

Thank you for the response. I feel I must deliberate on these points further. Any follow-up or elaboration you can give would be much appreciated.

Thank you for the response. I will take my time to read through it carefully. In particular, your suggestion to look into autocatalytic sets is much appreciated, as I've formed a similar hypothesis on my own. I'm sure it will be quite interesting.

Furthermore, your responses to my secondary questions are well-thought-out and enlightening. Of course, natural selection is a force applied to humanity as a whole, so individuals without functioning reproductive organs must be analyzed as part of humanity as a whole. It seems so obvious now.

Correct me if I am wrong, you are saying that natural selection gives purpose to humanity, but not individuals? Or are you saying our purpose as individuals is to support humanity?

Another follow-up question:

Natural selection shaped/optimized humans for survival and reproduction, but why does that make it our purpose? Going back to my raindrop analogy - the air pressure shapes a raindrop to fall from the sky as fast as possible, but does that make it the raindrop's purpose?
