Hardly my intent by doing so
I view my body much like you might view a motor vehicle... though my concern for its health is significantly greater, of course Quote:I was simply referring to the fact that they aren't overly common, or at least, don't commonly express themselves. I dunno about everything being chaotic. Certainly seems that way from time to time.
Much more common than you seem to think
My statement about chaos was a joke ^_^Quote:Very fun. Although I do all my killing and maiming in video games. That way the towns people don't hunt me down. It is quite fascinating to think about the chain of causes that keep us alive on a day to day basis. It's even more baffling to think about the chain of causes leading up to our birth... if just one couple hadn't met up during the thousands of years of human procreation, we wouldn't be here. Or, if our parents hadn't screwed at exactly the right time the required sperm and egg to create us never would have met up and just like that we never would've been.
Lucky us
You call this lucky?! ^_<
Of course... all of those things leading up to our births happened... and couldn't have done otherwise
Determinism frees us from a great deal of regret, I do think pquote]I don't really see how anything can be stupid or senseless when there is cause and effect. Why do we call people crazy? Because we don't understand them. Why do we call people stupid? Because we don't understand them. Why does life seem chaotic? Because we don't understand it.[/quote]
Evidently you haven't met L'Idiot of the village. ^_< We call people crazy because they are "in a state of mind that prevents normal perception, behavior, or social interaction; seriously mentally ill". Life seems chaotic because it is
Quote:If an isolated cause and effect makes no sense, (ex. You kill somebody simply because they said Hi), it's only senseless because one isn't aware of the chain of causes leading up to that particular cause and effect.
No... i'm pretty sure i killed him for saying 'hi'.
Quote:I suppose that I have faith in the idea that life would make sense if we fully understood it. However, omniscience isn't particularily easy to attain.
Methinks you should question that faith >_^
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
