matter matters?

You're right Rob, and I like the stick figure.

Our universe doesn't matter. The fact that one thing or another might or might not be true doesn't matter if it doesn't affect us. If the stick figure figured out that he was just here for our example, it would not matter as much to him as being hit by the talking train.

If we were to discover weather or not we have a soul, it would not change how we perceive anything. Everythough would continue as if the answer has not come up. Now, taken to a different extreme, if we were to discover that there was indeed life after death, that would matter inexplicable ammounts to us. It would shift how we take in our daily lives. Of course, this is why we argue about it though. If we do not know, and we are just philosophising, then it doesn't matter. me declaring all of this doesn't matter either because it is not changing your lives, nor is it changing mine...

The object of this blog is to get this off my chest and be informative. But that doesn't matter either!

The Truth about this world and universe doesn't matter.

The Truth about "Are you the same person you were before you read this sentance" doesn't matter...because it doesn't affect you!

I'm not saying this to be crass and calous to foreign nations...starving away as I sit here, comfortably and write this from my laptop...in my dorm room....

But I'm talking about the existencial difference in meaning of the universe...not something as close to home as 2 blocks from here where the man on the street is starving.

To him, this world is fucked up...but to the world, he doesn't even matter...nor should it matter to the world weather or not he stops existing or moves on to another place after death...

This world and this universe do not care about what we do. But the man on the street really only cares about his next meal. So that he can keep on surviving, because he cares about himself.

Worry about yourself and those you care about.

Again, all that matters in this life are creation and destruction, the end-all of human interactions is broken down into those 2 things, which can be said to be the same thing. Only scale is diffent.

Create and Destroy

Care about yourself and those who mean something to you.

2) Program for Money

Having only minimal knowlege of programming this may seem like a difficult task, but alas, it does not take much knowlege in programming to create a program that can make you some quick cash. The uber basic skills I have consist of Visual Basic, Java, Java Script, C++, and PovRay.

In High School, I made a racing program that consisted of 3 cars running a drag race. There were many variables that increaced or decreaced each car's chance of winning. Given that I was the programmer, and knew all of the possible variables, weather, drivetrain, torque, mis-shifting, nitrous, etc, etc...it became very clear that I could not partake in the game against my freinds.

After some time I redesigned the game to be slightly more random, but still follow the same basic trends...nothing was preset, but the cars had tendencies to do different things. Now I could participate in the game, not win every time, and still have fun. After a while though, some people started taking bets against the game. Money was exchanged and people won and lost. I, on the other hand, stopped participating once this began because of my unfair, yet not complete, advantage.

The time has come to reinvent this game. The idea for the week is to code the game before finals are over (Extending my week-idea-time until the 20th) and make $20 here at college.
