Modern Philosophy

Very long and interesting read:

quote:
The possibility for you to be reading this sentence at this time and place in your life has always been a possibility; it needed an almost infinitely unlikely set of circumstances to come to pass (including three billion years of Earthly evolution in this corner of this galaxy happening exactly the way it did, and the events of your life unfolding exactly the way they did), but the possibility for it to occur always has and always will be a property of existence. The same can be said of all your experiences.

i'd like to thank the universe, the galaxy, my past events, and my ancestors for this opportunity.

Individual conscious experience is just part of a larger construct that transcends our language, senses and understanding, maaaaan

Reading this is a lot easier when you imagine Carl Sagan speaking it to you.

Posted by MrJiveBoJingles on Mar-24-2010 02:20:

Maybe, except that I doubt Carl Sagan would go in for most of this.

I like to think that he had an impressive imagination when he smoked herb. To feature it on Cosmos or to write about it is another thing

This is a waste of time.

Get some political philosophy or ethics up ya.

that's funny, usually when i read a book about science- (like dawkins) i like to put it in sagan's voice it's just so enchanting hehe

Posted by Lira on Mar-24-2010 03:34:

When I read a book I always put it in Morgan Freeman's voice. Now that's soothing.
