Life philosophy

[kineaesth]

I had some tea before. It was great.










My point is proven.

 

[Eejit]

He's right. Existence precedes essence. We exist, but only because the circumstances allow it, not for any actual purpose or reason beyond pure existence.

Completely irrelevant? Anyone's life philosophy is essentially how they go about existing, and the conditions of their existence itself are very important.

I was saying the above was irrelevant to the thread since you and darkside seemed to be under the impression that the topic was about something it wasn't.

I'm 14 and I wrote around 3 entire paragraphs on page 1...

14 and you have a philosophy on life? you probably copied it out of a school text book

People get their life philosophies from somewhere, perhaps it ought to be from a source that is published.

Like from Sun Tzu or Machiavelli.

Try to avoid too much consistency. Avoiding a format in your life is for the best

But then you would be consistently inconsistent.

The more things change, the more things stay the same.

Which is the only unformatted format

You are, in fact, made entirely of atoms. The keys you use to type are being pressed down solely due to the sum of electrostatic forces between the electrons on the surface of your fingers and the respective keys they are pressing.

What's more, your brain, and thus your mind, is little more than a network of electrical impulses performed by various neurons and synapses.

Now, let those ideas sink in. In time, you are bound to flip out. When you do, no doubt you will see the world as I do. And it's ****ing brilliant.

 

[Saruke]

I have thought about this topic alot and so my philosophy is very detailed and immense in size but I'll try to give you some sense of what I believe,

I believe that it is completely wrong to believe you're better then anyone else but it is not wrong to hope to be.

I believe very strongly in doing good even though it may seem the world is against you.

It is wrong to EVER harm another human being in ANY way, everyone is just as complex and interesting and complicated as you are, so what right do you have to treat them with anything less then complete respect and forgiveness.

I believe in the divine because in all the universe there is nothing like the human mind.

Our concept of consciousness rides like a cork floating in the sea of our unconsciousness. We think that because we percieve science and art and music we can understand and plumb the depths of this abyss but that is not true.

Because each and everyone of our minds is nearly infinite in scope and every single one is unique.

So I ask you, how can you say there is nothing but the material, when you are so wonderful?

 

[Dan]

I believe the opposite of Saruke

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

The more things change, the more things stay the same.

Some things change.
And some things stay the same.

 

[Saruke]

I believe the opposite of Saruke

I can only hope that your philosophy brings you some measure of peace.

 

[Dan]

And some things stay the same.

Like time. There's always time. On my mind.

I can only hope that your philosophy brings you some measure of peace.

Peace is easy to find because it's inside you. Truth is external.

You are, in fact, made entirely of atoms.

A question for all you physicists out there. What would happen if say, I were to split my own bodily atoms? Would I explode like an A-bomb, spontaneuously combust, or nothing?

No, it ****ing sucks...

I think its beautiful.

Yep. You'd definatly be an A-Bomb sort of thing, but there are other ingredients into the nuclear mix.

Your body is made entirely of stable molecules. Mostly hydrogen, oxygen, carbon. You can't split a hydrogen nucleus, it has just one proton. Oxygen and carbon both have very stable nuclei as opposed to U235 used in nuclear fission. You need elements heavier than iron before you can gain any energy from fission. None of the organic compounds naturally found in your body are heavy enough to produce fission energy. You would in fact have to input a huge amount of energy to split an atom of oxygen or carbon.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Indeed. You would only explode if you were infused with heavy atoms. For some reason.

Practising a sport is a great way to stay in shape, as well as a great way to socialise with your peers.

One should have a sense of humility, nobody likes an arrogant *sshole.

Stay positive, nobody likes a whiny little b*tch.

So what would happen?

BTW, I am not actually a physics guy, so there.

Well it depends what element you are trying to split and what you want to form as the product. Say it's carbon. A carbon nucleus is made up of 6 protons and 6 neutrons. I am not sure exactly what it would split into, but I suspect the next stable constituents would be three helium atoms. So splitting carbon would be like fusing helium in reverse.

According to http://www.astrophysicsspectator.com/topics/stars/FusionHelium.html, you would need more than 7.27 MeV (million electron volts) of energy to split one atom of carbon. 7.27 MeV isn't very much energy, but a single atom isn't very big either. I am not sure what kind of process you could use to prevent carbon from fusing into more stable molecules. Probably most of it would turn into heavier elements like oxygen and nitrogen.

My life philosophy is that everyone except a select few are total douchebags, and our world, our lives are insignificant, but at the same time incredibly significant. We can change the universe, for better or for worse, but we keep being held back by greed and selfishness whch only lasts a 100 years.

What I'm going at here is that collectivism rocks.

 

[-Psy-]

My life philosophy - Trust no-one. They might be a spy.

FYI Psycho is a spy.
