One of my friends asked me to look it up for them, and i can't find an answer that they're looking for. I mean, i know infants do it when something tastes bad, but there HAS to be more to it. is there a reason for adults to do it? i know it's a universal sign of mockery, but where did it originate? Basically my friend's question is, is the true meaning something dirty? (the reason why my friend cant post this question is because they don't have a computer) The person that gives me the right answer will be chosen as the best answer.

What do you think about this little phrase:

When we are forgotten we cease to exists.

What does this mean to you? And is it true?
Would you like forgotten or remembered? Why? How?

I mean with all the horrible things in the world happening to essentially our own race i.e. Human (in most cases ;-) ) how do we justify all the bad things that happen, if we’re good why do we allow them to happen, and in the rare (ulterior motive or not) intervene does it more often than not end up with disastrous results?

I'm sure some of you have heard of this.

Aubrey de Grey argues that some people alive today will live in a robust and youthful fashion for 1,000 years.

De Grey's plans to treat aging as a disease -- and curing it.

De Grey wrote "Ending Aging: The Rejuvenation Breakthroughs That Could Reverse Human Aging in Our Lifetime."

What are your thoughts on this matter? It seems intriguing and actually plausible to think of aging as a treatable disease. Even if we can't extend to 1,000 years or such, maybe it could be to 150-200 years. For instance, if at one time in history, man lived to an average age of 30, would they believe today that we can live to an average of 75 and some live to be 100? And that's just with improving medicine and better overall care. Thoughts?

(Forget the fact about overcrowding the planet, what role religion/God would play and such, just focus on the idea presented.)

Is mind an individual "perception". ?
Is it something to be "tapped into"...or is it something that is always in constant movement ?

Before i go deeper into the question, let's first state the following things, to prevent discussion about God, evolution theory and science. It's a thought-experiment so it doesn't need to be factual.

OK, lets state that:

1. Its 2907
2. Evolution theory is real and accepted
3. We have created a device that can create 2 other universes, but causing the destruction of our own.
4. Scientists and philosophers agree that the meaning of life is: To create two universes and take survival of the fittest to a universal scale.
5. When the universes are created ours is destroyed, but the two new will be filled with human dna, so that our species will thrive in two universes
6. String theory (and thus multiple universes are real)

Ok then, the questions are:
I: Could the meaning of life be a godlike creation of new universes?
II: would anyone want this?
III: Can survival of the fittest be a intergalactic issue?

A lot of reading, but I'm interested in your answers!
