Re: This Life Is So Meaningless And Useless! by PricelessGem1: 9:22pm On Jan 02
We are here on earth to prepare for eternity either in heaven or hell. Choose one and prepare and work towards it, that is our one and only purpose on earth. Incase, you choose heaven not hell, embrace the Holy Bible for further illumination and understanding. If you are simple and humble at heart, the Holy Spirit will teach and guide you.
APOPTOSIS:
Hence the reason I keep saying that no human has ever answered the most difficult question posed by Emperor Marcus Aurelius.
Religious bodies and many more can only create postulations but the truth is, the question remain unanswered with facts.

.....and the question is
Why are we here?
What's our purpose on this planet?

In my opinion, this could be the only planet that still has living creatures intact. We can't for sure say what we have out there until we explore.
For now, this is my heaven and I have vowed to enjoy my life every minute of the day since tomorrow is never guaranteed & not your right.
I will strive to create and have lasting memories while on the planet.
My Advice to you
Always be contented with what you have.
Never never allow room for greed.
Make sure you are protective of your happiness, guard it with every breath of yours.
Keep yourself busy and don't be a prey to ignorant followership. Avoid trouble.
Question everything, I mean everything.
Choose your friends and make sure they are highly cerebral in their own ways.

Hedonisco:
What we know as 'physics' is not really the whole story and cannot possibly be. There was classical mechanics, and then came Newtonian physics, which was then replaced by relativistic/Einstein physics, and now we are in the era of quantum physics. But what comes next? We don't know. That's why I like it whenever Elon Musk talks about "new physics" and the role AGI would play in discovering it... But then after new would come subsequent 'news', on and on.

What I'm driving at is that your thesis, while very interesting, doesn't capture the truth about what life as we know it is. We don't know whether it is probabilistic or deterministic or even probabilistic determinism or deterministic probabilism. The chicken or the egg, which came first?

My brother, the conventional/universal scientific consensus at some point in the not too distant past was that the Earth is flat. So really, who knows what new 'facts' would be ascertained in the future? Who knows if we are in a simulation? If so, that would lean towards determinism in a sense, but then, who are the 'simulators' and to what end? Questions na water.

That's why there is nothing more scientifically objective than good old hedonism, as aptly counseled by the supremely wise King Solomon: "EAT, DRINK AND BE MERRY, FOR TOMORROW YOU SHALL KPEME".
I know it's hard to accept the philosophical and existential implications of quantum Field Theory or Quantum Thermodynamics in a classical world, but it is the most proven scientific theory ever.

Everyday we see manifestation of this reality: semiconductors, lasers, magnetism, nuclear reactors, Xrays, alpha/beta/gamma particles, the double slit experiment. We cannot deny its existence down to the Planck length and Planck Time (beyond which we know nothing).

And because we want to intuitively accept only the classical universe because the weirdness of superposition and entanglement is just too much, we think determinism is a fabric of our reality.

Now herein lies the problem: you believe determinism implies causality. But causality is simply a constraint imposed by the laws of spacetime which limits photons to a speed not exceeding the speed of light. Therefore information should not travel faster than light. This does not mean light can't go faster than ~300,000 km/s, but that the universe will not allow it. Why? To preserve causality on the classical scale perhaps.

But Quantum Mechanics makes a clear distinction between causality and correlation. So A does NOT always cause or precede B. Superposition implies A and B are simultaneous states, and one only becomes one state when the wave function collapses. But before that collapse, we know superposition exists, just that it's a universe hidden from us until we observe it or interact with it. That defeats intrinsic determinism.

The region beyond the event horizon of black holes also prove that something CAN go faster than light: spacetime itself when it encounters the territory of the singularity. Space falls faster than the speed of light, hence trapping light and information forever from the outside universe. Even this phenomenon requires a quantum explanation beyond the mathematics of Einstein's field equations.

Also, quantum entanglement seems to suggest the two entangled particles break the universal speed limit, therefore dispelling causality and deterministic outcomes.

Quantum Mechanics is not the limit of our tools: it's the state of reality at that scale. And we know it, have proven it, but we just can't fully grasp it. And that implies the limit of our own intellect, not the science or the tools of science.

I'll agree with you that the classical universe is inescapable and relentless, but we should not pretend that the essence of reality is nothing but strange activities moderated by nothing but certain properties we don't understand: charge, spin, probability waves, and the strange wave/particle duality of these building blocks.

Of course, I am aware your religious literature has fed you with lies. Every belief system that associated or still associates with the snake (like Gnosticism) predate Christianity because snake reverence predate EVERY belief system in the world
Which religious books? Stop deflecting and bring your proof.

No religious belief system is older than snake reverence. Even in your Bible, before Judaism, a Moses mediatated to God and humans using the snake.

Bible book of Numbers 21:8:9 reads "Then the Lord said to Moses, " Make a fiery serpent, and put it on a flag pole; and it shall come about, that everyone who is bitten, and looks at it, will live.” So Moses made a bronze serpent and put it on the flag pole; and it came about, that if a serpent bit someone, and he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived."

The Gnostics followed the snake route, and one of the last Gnostics sect was the Ophites (snake reverers). Gnosticism was making people smart but the Roman empire didn't like that. They had to destroy Gnosticism to feed you with lies.

I said that's what the Gnostics said. But, of course, you both are allergic to knowledge.

Go put in a good AI like Grok. Ask Grok AI "what did the Gnostics believe about the creator of this world, the inferior God, the fool, the Demuige, and why there's suffering in the world?"
Na you dey lack comprehension skills. You act as if Gnosticsm is some hidden special stuff. We know what it is and its bullshit. That's all we're saying.

E say na go put in AI like I didn't read that stuff as a teen.

You don't know anything about Gnosticism. You better do what I advised you earlier because I am not about to help you

Don't you ever get tired of going round in circles? I need research that predates gnostic before christianity so I can also learn.

Every morning, you see everybody running up and down like mad monkeys just to get one paper with a design on it. After all that work, you buy this and that and pamm, all the money is gone! It's crazy!

You repeat the same cycle till you're old and die. You carry nothing with you! All the things you worked soo hard to acquire, you carry nothing!

Hmmmmm What a stupid useless life!
When you lived a Good life to the satisfaction of your manufacturer and Seek Forgivenesses from Your "sins"(Iniquities), You would have lived a Fulfilled and Meaningful Live If not, You would live a Regretful Life ...

Stop encouraging normal humans to go into that your rel!j!on of terror and j!had, where lives become even more meaningless and empty

How do folks maliciously accuse others of sponsoring your terrorism when the kuran that has so many ev!l verses is there huh

Why don't you guys accept responsibility for your cr!mes and reform that ev!l b00k that is essentially a manual of terror!sm??

If the religion is about jihad your favorite musicians won't join, do some research, ask your musicians why they dump Christianity, is it because of scam pastors that collect tithes and build universities poor people can't afford??
Re: This Life Is So Meaningless And Useless! by Johnenemali1: 2:58pm On Jan 03
You need Jesus Christ as Lord and saviour. That's the only thing that can give your life a meaning.
Other things are vanity.

I have reasons to believe you've finished or almost finished your salary/wage? 😂


But if all you live for is money, then yes, that life is stupid.
But if money funds meaning, responsibility, family, service, growth, or faith, then it’s not useless at all.

Life is useless to the ignorant. Life is not useless ooooh. After this life there is another life. Life is just like a journey that doesn't end. Death isn't the end of life. It's just a passage into another life.
