Philosophy - January 2007

If so, how long was it before you found out what that purpose is? It’s just, I’m in my early 20’s, and I still don’t know what my purpose in life is yet, is that normal? Shouldn’t I know what my purpose is at that age?

scientists...say in caltech, cuz they are doing experiments in neural modelling...invent a device that connects to your brain, and you can 'see' how others solve problems...say math geniuses solve math problems, rubics geniuses solve the rubics cube...and you instantly 'seeing' HOW really they do it....thus learning instantly... If things like going to the office become only through virtual worlds...where you go to office virtually and then 'wake' up in your home--if you could get food sensations (and just eat a pill) and sex-yeia, and thrill rides....through 'neural injections' ? (there is a study in caltech that explains how a computer sends to the remote 'human' sensor, information of an object...say, a baseball moving in the air...and the person can not only 'feel' the object with touch....but 'sense' its motion...kind of like telepathically 'sensing' the object) How would this have implications for mankind? The economy? Goverment? The life process? reproduction?food?

I asked another question that brought this up ( http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AreQPks1ucZtqL9FcjJDLr7sy6IX?qid=20070122214904AAcQQI2 ) and I was suprised at the hardline opinions of many. So if technology permitted would it be ethical to involuntarily change the mindsets/personalities of people with high recidivism rates? Maybe just criminals in general?

Many believe God is perfect, if so, what can possibly make him perfect? Does he have infinite strength? If so, what is infinite strength? Can he out run the fastest creature in the universe? Does he have unimaginable intelligence?

Usually the question is, what is the point of life? but this seems an inane question to me. Life is worth living.

However, what is the point of building more and more concrete structures, or polluting more and more, and harming our soil, preventing perhaps in the future, our ability to grow crops. What is the point of building hugfe super-highways, if in the end, they amount to an enormous amount of energy to maintain, just so we can get from A to B. What is the point of building an archaic dinosaur bigger and bigger?

just so we can have more of a population? be able to drive a car so we can go somewhere when places could be organized tightly into communities?

Concidering all the side-effects of organized civilizations (pollution, etc)...and its enormous vulnerabilities (centralization; all you need is to destroy washington and we have no way of reacting, or destroying or sedentary agriculture, and we cannot support our population's demands)..what is the point of all this?

We have all been taught that you reap what you sow. Have you ever experienced that first hand? Did you ever do something really generous and/or unselfish for someone else and then have something wonderful yet unexplicable happen to you? If you have can you give an example?
