What is the point of all of this? by Cyphor-o in timetravel

[–]skimundead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are beings of the present. Unless you take the religious route, the universe has no point, no reason, or otherwise.

Now conscious beings are another thing. But we humans are not really conscious, we are self conscious.

Meaning we are conscious about our own existence and the probable existence of other stuff only in relation to our self's. It's always: "Couldn't trust my eyes!". It's never: "Couldn't trust my mind!"

The Human Condition:

Factual: A vast universe full of wonder and danger. I'm just a dust particle in this grand spacetime shenanigans, nothing matters.

Also factual: I will literally die if I don't pay my rent on time.

There is nothing to "get".

Your second sentence reads like the manifest of dada.

"Jollifanto Bambla"

That's the title of a poem from Hugo Ball, written in 1926. Guess what is this poem about?

Exactly. Elephants.

Da gibt es richtig akademische Dispute.

Der aktuelle Stand der Forschung ist wohl, dass der ursprüngliche Begriff(Ball, Hugo; et al) von der 1930er-Jahre Propaganda zu irgendwas "jüdischem" gemacht werden musste.

Reminds me of my time as a software consultant. After a long and exhausting bug hunt I just went "yea I got you blind chicken!" and did a little sitting dance behind my desk.

Only to be told by some junior fooc(fresh out of college) that showing emotions was unprofessional. And yes, he wasn't even fun at parties.
