The Meaning of Life

[Paint CHiPs]

So, one day about a year ago I was fucking around with Jeeves on good 'ole http://www.ask.com, and I asked it a simple yet exceedingly complex question.

I asked it "What is the meaning of life?"

To my surprise, it actually had a result for it.

A FAQ, regarding the meaning of life.

So I started reading. And I kept reading. And I read for hours. And I found that, though it was not at all what I expected (it is secular for one), it is actually a perfect answer, and it approaches the question in such an unorthodox way that I was mesmorized by it. Still am. REALLY changed a lot of my ideas and thoughts. Took a lot of various ideas and thoughts that I had briefly considered, crystallized them, and put them all together.

I have linked it many times in the past, on SPF and on Asylum, but I doubt many of you would have seen it, and I am sure many of you would dig it.

So here it is.

<font color="#CC66CC">Nice. I ditto that one. I've bookmarked it. I'll go over it when I have a few hours to quietly sit down and sift through it. The good thing is that it blends modernism/science/history/religion/technology etc etc.

I love this bit>>> "Is there a God?
What difference does it make, in terms of concrete choices? Would you suddenly stop trying to be a good person if it were revealed that there is no God? Would you suddenly become an altruist if you learned there was? What's right is right, whether or not God exists, and the qualities that make a good person are widely agreed upon in any case."

Thanks - Raven</font>

Yeah, we're thinking about banning him ... he just doesn't fit in with all our elitists and raging egos. Thanks for pointing that out.

I've only looked over some of it (I'll read it in its entirety when I have some time and feel like reading something like that), but this holds to potential to change the ways I look at life and humanity in general. Thanks, Paint.

Can't we just all come together and agree that we all suck?

i just think life has no particular meanings..but we all have purposes to serve in life..some understand this later, and some earlier..

alot of people dont know what their here for untill there 20 or even 30.

others at a young age.

just my opinion.

what do you all think you are here for?

I am here to be amused.
And all you people are here to amuse me.
See? You have a purpose!

No, really, that's true. It sounds like I made it up, but I didn't.

Wonder is here because he likes to follow me around, stalker. Its creepy, but I kinda like it.

Christ Paint, whats next? Re-posting the "Fine art of Flaming"? If you find the rental car bit please post it, another classic, mein.

In reality the Asylum boys are all just stalking Kaye.

I dont agree with much of anything on that page...too "womanish"...all indecisive and celebrating a middle road of nothingness...oh well...

Of course you like it. It is the most attention you've had since the cops made you testify against your parents.

I have to disagree with you about the whole "country club" thing...I have never found it to be so.

I would never speak badly about the asylum. I have no idea what you're talking about.

All you have to do is ask. http://www.thehypertribe.net/ubb/wink.gif

For real, I've posted both probably about 50 times each.

I finally had the good sense to save both to my HD (took me about 6 months to figure THAT one out).

This one is a bit different to me, though.

I dig this tract.
