What is the role of evolution?

The purpose of evolution ( if we are talking about the same thing ) is to ensure creation is in tune with cosmic inspiration. It's a reflection of a higher plane.

What is the meaning of life?

I think the meaning of life is an individual endeavor. Do what makes you happy. A universal meaning for the human race implies a bigger plan, or a supreme being to which we must complete a quest for. Is there a meaning in the life of a cat? or a cockroach? Why would humans have a collective bigger meaning than to survive? Anything else is of our own creation, giving ourselves meaning to drive people to do things. The meaning of my life, personally, is to fulfill my desires and maximize time spent on things and people that bring me joy.

What is the origin of evil?

I don't think there is such a thing as good and evil at the universal level. Good and evil are subjective based on perspective. At the human level there is a belief that good perpetuates things and evil goes against what is human. But at the grand universe level, we are just a spec of dust in the enormity that exists and most of existence couldn't care less about our perceptions. I still think this is an important question for "us" (us = humans).

How did the Universe begin?

Around 6,000 years ago, the first decision was made, creating a point of duality, which resulted in the instantaneous expansion of our universe. Since then, an infinite number of universes have popped into existence. It’s a real mess.

5

Is there free will?

Yes, but it's not what we think. As the source energy animates our hardware (our bodies) in a unique place and time, that source energy manifests into a life, a personality, decisions, emotions. But it's all driven by the source energy. IT has free will, not US. Because, really, there is no us.

December 10, 2018
2

What is the Universe made of?

More and more, I think not so much. That we are all one consciousness, experiencing The Simulation. Or, more excitingly, A Simulation. Simulation 3X41231d.

What question is missing?

And ain't, I a woman? I have borne thirteen chilern, and seen them most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain't I a woman?

July 24, 2018
12

Who or what is God?

Then that little man in black there, he says women can't have as much rights as men, 'cause Christ wasn't a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him.

How do you find truth?

I always speak the truth. Not the whole truth, because there's no way, to say it all. Saying it all is literally impossible: words fail. Yet it's through this very impossibility that the truth holds onto the real.

July 24, 2018

What question is missing?

What desire can be contrary to nature since it was given to man by nature itself?

July 24, 2018

The world still wants to ask that a woman primarily be pretty and if she is not, the mob pouts and asks querulously, "What else are women for?"

Herein lies the tragedy of the age: not that men are poor, — all men know something of poverty; not that men are wicked, — who is good? not that men are ignorant, — what is Truth? Nay, but that men know so little of men.

July 24, 2018

We are god. Maybe. Or not. It's all a construct.

July 15, 2018

What is the Universe made of?

The universe is music. Depending upon the frequency of the vibration and the combinations of conscious thoughts, the more diverse and varied are the elements within it- based on the harmonic nature of life.

July 15, 2018
14

What question is missing?

The great question which, in all ages, has disturbed mankind, and brought on them the greatest part of their mischiefs - has been, not whether be power in the world, nor whence it came, but who should have it.

What is the nature of the mind?

The less the mind understands and the more things it perceives, the greater its power of feigning is. And the more things it understands, the more that power is diminished.

What is the origin of evil?

I should attempt to treat human vice and folly geometrically - the passions of hatred, anger, envy, and so on, considered in themselves, follow from the necessity and efficacy of nature.

July 15, 2018

What is the Universe made of?

Known and perceivable universe is made of energy, when condenses, make mass, which ultimately are clumps of energy, interacting in a relative thin sea of energy.

How did the Universe begin?

It never did. The beginning is just a useful language construction. Thinking about how Universe begin is, on the contrary, NOT useful. But surely a great subject for centuries of narratives. Narratives ARE useful. Paradoxes from the beginning.

July 13, 2018

What is the origin of good?

Mirror neurons. Evolution is God's creative process. Once mirror neurons emerged, empathy became possible. No mirror neurons, no empathy. No empathy, no good.

July 13, 2018
10

What is the role of evolution?

Change is constant. Without evolution living systems would crystallize and eventually become too brittle to move with that change.

July 13, 2018

What is the meaning of life?

It's a bit of a tautology. Life is like writing a book with yourself as a main character, the meaning is to write a book that you would enjoy reading and when time comes to put it aside, you won't feel as if something was missing.

Who or what is God?

The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can change this.

January 15, 2017
11

What happens after death?

I do not believe in immortality of the individual-Since our inner experiences consist of reproductions and combinations of sensory impressions, the concept of a soul without a body seems to me to be empty and devoid of meaning.

January 15, 2017
13

What is going to happen to humankind?

We are going to keep evolving and spray out into the galaxy like the spores of a mushroom. Our diaspora will live on multiple worlds, will keep evolving and space will bloom with our biodiversity. It might have already done so.

How do you find truth?

By assembling facts into a coherent narrative. Truth is relative. Fact is another story.

What is the role of evolution?

Evolution not only created the lens we use to perceive reality, but it might also be the lynchpin of reality itself. Evolution drives change. And without change there would be no space or time. Without space and time - do we have reality?

What is the Universe made of?

Mostly nothing. The space between spinning, mysterious sub-atomic particles. We are starting to understand these particles, but the questions about the emptiness just grow. Maybe the universe is made of questions.
