So, I sell my 911 to a serious collector, buy a cheap 308 Ferrari, invest the difference, more girls would be attracted to the Ferrari? I don't buy it. But then, as a 31 years married guy, I guess I don't have to buy it.

A 308, no. Chickies will look for your gold chain and pinky ring. A 355 would get you some titular respect.

Coo coo ca-chew....

Any questions?

Think about this. If humans are nothing more than a chemical process that at some point is going to be terminated. Then what is the use to that Process of creating another process. It doesn't stop that Processes termination its going to happen anyway. There is no good use in creating another process, it competes for food.

There is something alittle different about life than just a chemical process. There is some spark there. Also for humans there is a spark of conscienceness, that we are going to die. That doesn't explain mans drive to creat ever more complex technology. Why wouldn't man be satisified with living in a mud hut. Babes..thats just Western Civ talkin...other cultures live very low to the land.

Well if life is ultimatily meaningless I have to be everybodys hero, cause I live a totally meaningless life. I do absolutely nothing, accomplish nothing, except while away my hours.


If life is ultimatily meaningless, humans nearly 100% of the time are deluding themselves. They live in a subjective delusion. People don't act out of rationality. What is rational about about owning a Porsche, its gona get Babes, its fun to drive? Coome on what a delusion that is...

Does that mean that our senses and feelings are mearily survival mechanisms..Well then knowing what those signals mean and interpeting them correctly has some importance to the survival of the organism.


Like I said people are delusional because they spend their time thinking about what they are gona make for dinner, or new cloths , or the game tonight, going to work!

Come to think of it..I am the least delusional person on this Board. I live a totally meaningless life. I do nothing, accomplish nothing, all I do is while away my hours.

I don't strive for status, I don't strive for position, I don't strive for money..all are meaningless. U boyz are rtight , U have opened my eyes.

I am free of delusion, I AM A TRANSCENDENT BEING

You have approximately 30,000 days on this Earth. That's all you've got. How you choose to use those days is completely up to you, but when they're gone, that's it. There is no "afterlife".

Like Markus said, our curse as humans is that we have evolved to the point where we can contemplate our own death and ponder the world around us. That ability has led to the creation of religions and other delusions (anyone remember the Heaven's Gate cult?) in an attempt to transcend the *fact* that we are going to die. There are no 72 virgins awaiting you, there is no heaven, there is no re-incarnation.

Make the best of your 30,000 days.

And 30,000 days after your gone...who is going to remember you, and what will you have accomplished in your 30K days that anybody will even recognize as being even uniquely done by U.

Hmmm maybe I'll take up fishing, that sounds pleasant enough.

Speaking of delusion, how's the trust fund holding up?

Naw it would take up too much of my time..and it would require that I actually do something.

I really don't concern myself with that mundane stuff. Mother has been quiet happy lately so I assume that things are going well.

your take. Truth for you, not for others. I believe that your 30k days are for this lifetime, but that your soul has lived previous ones and will live ones yet to come. It is true though that reality is only in this moment. But karma is like gravity...it just is. You can choose to live your life a certain way, but you cannot escape karma.

My truth, Ymmv.

Markus, that is absolutely brilliant. Your last paragraph is the most succinct explanation of the human paradox I've had the pleasure to read.

You're right. My take. I don't think that the thing commonly known as a "soul" actually exists. There is no evidence for it, so I am forced to conclude that it doesn't exist. YMMV is in full effect.

Maybe a soul does exist? Maybe there really is such a thing as karma? Maybe prayer really works? There is no evidence for these things, but they might actually exist.

I am absolutely sure of only one thing....

I am unsure of everything.
