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.
