Our perception of life is similar to the character in the movie Momento (movie synopsis). Similar to him (suffering from severe amnesia) we enter this world with no recollection of the events that preceded us. Like the movie character all we have around us are these 'notes' telling us things: The earth is not round, we are not the center of the universe, previous life existed on this planet and was wiped out, and we might be next. We have a limited window of 100 years to process that info and figure out new information for the next generation, before we no longer exist. The fact that everyone from this world 150 years ago no longer exists serves as proof of that.

What is the end goal? I think using our collective intelligence and ability to pass off the info enough times for a future generation to leave this planet and populate others before we are ultimately destroyed. The Permian-Triassic extinction and Cretaceous extinction serves as a reminder that the earth has a pattern of wiping out the dominant life of the planet and starting over. Similar to the therapsids and dinosaurs, we are the current dominant species threatened to be wiped out. For millennia the earth has produced creatures that have adapted to environmental conditions. For some reason we became a tangent, not only adapted to environmental conditions, but afforded the ability to process and understand these conditions.

Why do I use the movie memento as the example? Like him we have a limited window to do something with this information before we 'forget', whether that be through death, disease or war. Although we have the ability to pass down collective knowledge it is imperfect. War, disease and natural disasters can wipe out the collected info, forcing us to start over. The great library of Alexandria serves as proof of this. What information did we lose? How far back did we have to start over before we made it here? How much time to we have left? What notes will we leave for those in the future? Will they get it before they destroy each other? Will they be able to get out before the earth starts over again? Lets hope war, disease or solar flares don't wipe out all the collected info. Imagine how long it would take to start over again.

It's what you make it. :manny:


I'm not convinced life has any real purpose outside of what you make for yourself. The only thing you're promised is death. Until then, we're stuck here, so you might as well find something on this planet that's you like and try not to make the world a shythole for other people.

Basically, we're stuck in this bytch waiting to die, so we might as well try to find something enjoyable to do until then and try not to make things crappy for future people that will be in the same situation.

My two cents.

We're born only because our parents said we could be born and then we die. There's no purpose in life. Life is unfair and who you are, who you know, who you could be comes down to mostly luck. Like the story on here about the Japanese breh who had rich parents but the dumb c*nt nurse "switched at birth" him and he grew up poor as fock. Paul George like 6'9 and on his way to becoming a superstar NBA player based off his genetics. Yea he worked hard but what about the 5'7 cac who can never even sniff a Division I roster? What I'm saying is do what you want. I think about the Prohibition Era gangsters and realize that you should try to earn as much money as possible then die. Alcohol illegal? How about we make bootleg alcohol, sell it, then kill anybody who tries to squeeze through our territory with ZERO fukks given. Remember all the way back in the day when emperors would just take over nikkas' shyt? There's no higher power in life. Do what you wanna do. Make money, spend it, then die. Maybe find love and reproduce and have your kids do it again.



I don''t know what I wrote fam but fukk it

And then check this. Why do humans make weapons brehs? Early man made sharp stone tools as actual tools and to kill cattle for food and shyt.

What is the point of this? :heh:



Why do we have nukes? :heh:


Humanity really ain't shyt so it's important to find people who are about shyt and befriend them to make life enjoyable as possible

Time is responsible for scheduling all human events to make sure everything runs smoothly, and the natural laws like cause and effect are honoured. He works most closely with Fate, helping her to fix crossed threads, caused by human error or simply random chance. He also schedules notable births and deaths, important events in people's lives and in history, and makes sure the flow of time remains stable when it is bent, as it is by his allowance that the other Incarnations are also capable of local timestops. He is also responsible for guaranteeing that the course of history flows as it should. As Time, he is immune to paradox, and to the possibility of multiple futures. Should actions occur to change the course of the future, his memories will change with it. However, typically his original memories are accepted as the desirable ones, as one of his major tasks is to make sure it does not get changed around without adequate reason. This is, of course, why he lives backwards – he would be unable to properly deal with making the future happen as planned if he was unaware of the plan.

We are here to procreate, teach knowledge and understanding to the seeds we create on how to live, care for each other and care for the physical world we are bound to in our journey and descend into the ether. You can't die because you can't kill energy. Natural law goes hand in hand from animals to the 4 elements of the earth.

Many already in the thread don't know a purpose because they don't seek for it or care to know it. That is why we allow those who are in power to create our world the way it is because those who are misguided which continue to go along with those who push the rest of us into their "purpose" agenda.

“Stood in firelight, sweltering. Bloodstain on chest like map of violent new continent. Felt cleansed. Felt dark planet turn under my feet and knew what cats know that makes them scream like babies in night.

Looked at sky through smoke heavy with human fat and God was not there. The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever and we are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later. Born from oblivion; bear children, hell-bound as ourselves, go into oblivion. There is nothing else.

Existence is random. Has no pattern save what we imagine after staring at it for too long. No meaning save what we choose to impose. This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us. Streets stank of fire. The void breathed hard on my heart, turning its illusions to ice, shattering them. Was reborn then, free to scrawl own design on this morally blank world.

Was Rorschach.

Does that answer your Questions, Doctor?”

there is no purpose. we're here to live and reproduce, if you choose to. once you understand that life will be a whole lot easier.

if we do some good while were alive thats just a plus.
