Philosophy - March 2007

I'm curious; How do I destroy the universe? Today I died in Oblivion, and I want to walk up to god after having destroyed the universe and say "THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR MAKING MY ARGONIAN GENOCIDE END!"
XD.

There is a huge divide between what is considered to be the adult world and the child world. Within the two worlds there are very different things.

The adult world:
Sex.
Violence.
Drugs.
Danger.
War.

The Child world:
Carefreeness.
Lack of heavy responsibility.
Easy 'Carefree' Fun.
Learning new things.

Why is that when someone grows to a certain age they are expected to relinquish the things of youth as if they are something that has grown to small or undesirable. Then after having freely given it up they bemoan their existence, "why is life so hard?" for example.

Things like fairy tales for example with happy endings are considered children’s stuff and 'not fit' for the adult world. Yet buried deep within these stories is a wisdom for ages past, and yet the adult world ignores this because it comes in a package that is for children.

Why does the adult world turn it's back on these things from youth? Why does it treat them as if they are something to be discarded with the of the rubbish?

Please explain why you think this is.

(P.S. Please focus on the intent of the question and not the question itself.)

Thanks in advance.

Remember the era of Yogi Bear? of Bugs Bunny, of Huckleberry Hound? The old MGM Tom&Jerry? Cartoons till the nineties had so much more than humor and anthropomorphism packed into them. While they did make the kids laugh, they also had what it takes to entertain adults alike with well-crafted dialogs, a "boom" here and a "thud" there. Today you have the utterly-meaningless fantasy cartoons like Pokemon, BeyBlade, Japanese Robot cartoons, senseless CartoonNetwork-made cartoons which are next to scribbles with groase dialogs and too much of weaponry, firepower, depiction of fierce battles etc. Will the real "cartoon" survive this era? Or are we better off watching Boomerang?

What would you say is the hardest lesson you have had to learn in life? I would say for me it would be 1. Always trust your initial gut instinct about someone 2. Save money for emergencies.
Any other interesting ones / personal experiences?

some things about philosophy i think are pretty rediculous. like doubting yours or anybody elses existence.

for example, alot of people will answer questions or say things like "life is an illusion of our nonexistent minds". and then act like what they just said was incredibly deep and thought provoking. when in reality it makes no sense at all and is nothing more then a pseuodo philisophical statement to make they speaker seem smart.

i also think it tries to disprove science. and alot of philsosophesr say "science assumes there is a reality". which is also rediculous. science is of course a type of philosophy but it is a factual one, and to desregard it is wrong.

and another thing is that philosophy gets so caught up in its own language trying to prove that we exist that in the end of the arguement they are exactly when they started. there like dogs chasing there own tails, when you can ask any 5 year old and they will have a more logical answer.

I do however think that philosophy is great when it comes to creating theories about the unkonwn and creating ideas and opinions on other things that we can never realy have the answers to. would you agree?

Or the complete opposite? It seems counterintuitive, and yet, sometimes denial works. Ignore it and it'll go away, right? Right?!! ;-)

if you could go back in time to change a part of your past (in a dramatic way, ie: moved country, avoided a fatal injury, saved a loved one from dying, etc), is that possible? ive partly believed that if you could do that (say for arguments sake that you saved your brother from getting into a car that had a crash), then the act would be done in the current time and there would be nothing to change in the past.

Do you think it's true that we are just nobodies when it comes to deciding things that affect us...I sure DON'T. For ie. this one guy on Y ...asked is murder wrong and another guy answers "thoughtfully"...-who are we to decide? I mean come on we live on this planet shouldn't we decide these things... If you have ever given a person an answer like "who are we to decide" why did you do it, for you others what do you think about it?....THANKS in advance for your answers to this kinda weird Q. that I had to get out of my mind.

Why do average-looking people often get the short end of the stick when it comes to raises, jobs, mates, and special treatment, even though what they might have to offer far outweighs the superficial qualities found within "good looks?"
