Who do we think we are?

First topic message reminder :

Ok, sports fans.........

Before we ask ourselves any other questions........

Here is the #1 priority question........

Who the heck do we think we are?  

I’m not aware that this question has ever been seriously asked before.  The only precedent of which I’m aware is when it was simply posed by Paul Gauguin.  

I would not pose this question unless I thought I had the rudiments of an answer.  I’m seeking help from anyone who would be willing to participate in fleshing out the answer.

We’ve got hobbit’s number, and he doesn’t even know it.  

Wigner knew how to deal with the ancients and the moderns, in one fell swoop....... it’s called the Anthropic Principle.  

Poor hobbit...... he’s never even heard of the AP.  

hobbit never bothered to do his homework.  He thought he was too smart...... too cool for school.  Sorry.......

Oops, maybe that was smelly.

Ack,

Don’t forget the actuator........ Love.......

That may be the one thing God didn’t have to invent.

I know...... I know.......

This is the bridge over the abyss.

Just don’t look down!

This is the bridge from Nowhere to Nowhere.

Guess what is the suspension system......

That’ll teach you......

Suspension system........?

Come on, ack, don’t act dumb.

"Anthropic"

Dan,
You need to spend some time in the ocean with dolphins, and tell them that universe suits humans.

hobbit,

I’ve heard of a flying fish, I’ve never heard of a flying dolphin.

"squeeze to death"

Christians, such hypocrites.

But you shouldn’t try this at home.  

You have to be really strung out, first.  

Many find God at the bottom of a bottle.  I wouldn’t wish that upon a dog.  

Sophia found me at the bottom of the physics barrel...... ten years later.   She took her darned time.  

It was Jack Sarfatti who steered me to Sophia.  Jack steered smelly here, if I’m not mistaken.  

Jack’s world is a small world.

Jack is the reason I'm here at all.

Not that it matters that I'm here, but I am

If you don't follow anyone or thing, you never have to feel the sting of rejection or obedience.

No such thing

You guys are compromised by the princess, I’m sorry.

You can pay being lip service all you like.

But no one is guiding anything.

Delusion.

Unless you are standing here as this, you aren’t.

Oh I’m here, but the princess is my ticket you say.

Bullshitz.

... there is something going on but I doubt I will ever figure it out, or for that matter if it can be figured out? ... either way, for whatever the future holds for the universe as a whole I (the human genome?) seem insignificant and irrelevant because of it ... some tertiary effect of an originating cause long gone? ... and all our thoughts on it mere noise of the machine ...

Much noise about nowhere and nuthin.

It’s enough of a fight just stayin alive.

How then shall we live is the question I am the answer to.

Not a princess.

You.

smelly,

‘Tis far better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

Only you.

We are an evolutionary consequence of the surface area of this planet.

We cannot exist in the ocean, We cannot exist an inch above surface, We cannot exist below surface.

We are reliant upon the condition staying reasonably stable.

Other evolutionary consequences have been here far longer than humans and can survive where humans cannot.

Do you see me calling on anyone else?

There is no one that will experience your death but you and not only you will.

Where is your savior then?

What did they save you from?

You had to meet some requirement?

Hahaha, lovely delusions.

Only the creatures can save the Creator.  

Only the Creator can save the creatures.


hobbit,

I had a pilot’s license until Ron put me on the no fly your own plane list.
