A question based on a certain Chinese philosopher: "Am i really here or am i, a butterfly dreaming to be human?" This philosophical question is the basis of the Matrix films and was given to us for our Philosophy class in the Graduate School. Please share your opinions thanks!

I m turning more and more towards nihilism. As of late, I see both sides of everything, and it makes me realize how transient and relative all is. Man trully is the measure of all things and nothing has fixed meaning/value outside of man.(except for gravity etc) Categories such as good/bad, perfect/imperfect, beautiful/ugly dont exist. I wonder, do You believe in any objective truth and value,( for example, God, but it doesnt have to be God) and what gives you the confidence to believe in it? How do you ignore the argument that religion is perhaps a great evolutionary tactic for group survival, as it ensures that all humans feel the need to believe in a higher, objective power, which guides them and provides a stable system of reward and punishment? Is it possible that everything stems from our fear that we are completely free in an empty universe, without direction? I realize my argument might have many limitations. But can you point them out independently of religion?

i wonder how can you hmans be oh so pathetic? You question things that you yourselves have answers to. you also have not come to realize the hand of doom which hovers above all of you, nor the age of darkness soon to follow.

Looking at the high divorce rates, one has to wonder whether or not human beings are the problem or marriage is the problem.

Hello!
I make small sculptures, around 6-15" high. They take a very long time to do, but unlike my paintings I find it hard to put them on my websites. My photography is downright shameful! I am absolutly clueless when it comes to setting up lights. I have resorted to photographing pieces outside and letting the sun do the work for me, but this is highly unpredictable, and I often have to wait days for good weather conditions.

So my question is where do I start with studio lighting? All I have right now is a desk lamp with a 75w "clear light" tungsten bulb! I cannot afford much, but I have another desklamp I could dig up, and I can probably afford another kind of light. I've found all sorts of information about soft and hard light, and diffusers and reflectors, and my head is swimming!

Could any photography pros help me out? Just an overview of what I should get, or a good small-scale setup? Any help at all will be greatly appriciated!
Thanks

Does anyone know what the term "Ballin' the jack" means? It's used for driving. I think it has something to do with 'flooring it' but I'm not sure.

I'd like examples like..., 'MUSIC is in the middle of the musician and the instrument', or... 'the SUNRISE and the SUNSET is in the middle of night and day' etc... I have thought of this question for many years and would love to hear any new ideas, even just the single word for an answer. I think something in the middle is always what we think is beautiful? I am interested to know your opinion of why this would be too

I read this book in 7th grade. It involved Hans, Luke, and Leia crashing on a planet and having to survive against evil creatures. The whole time, Vader could feel them on the planet, and Luke could feel Vader feeling them. This takes place between episode 4 & 5.
