-- Posted by frumpy at 2:14 pm on Sep. 4, 2008 does humanity strive? What is the ultimate purpose of science, in any way shape or form? To put a label on how the universe turns? A label means nothing, measurements of size, time, or weight are all fallacies, it just EXISTS. Or perhaps it's to finally cure the world of it's problems? It won't happen. Humanity seems to create problems as fast as they solve them, in addition to the fact that these "problems" are changing as well(such as evolving diseases.) In conclusion, I say that all logical and scientific research have no purpose in the end. All it is is labels on nature, and to have a sense of security. Try to unlock your self from the walls society has constructed, and find that I speak the truth in that there is no names. The universe exists, it seeks not to name itself. A bear isn't feet tall, it simply is. An ocean isn't full of gallons, it is an ocean. Saying that, humanity is driven by not looking forward, a horse with blinders, not realizing that in the end all it does is give it the comfort of knowing it's doing something by running. -- Posted by MystiqueBeauty16 at 2:15 pm on Sep. 4, 2008 Did you have a sudden burst of inspiration due to the "Small big bang" demonstration set to go next week? -- Posted by Toyah at 2:16 pm on Sep. 4, 2008 people only listen to topics like this if your in a blue and a red bar. -- Posted by ampamp at 2:16 pm on Sep. 4, 2008 High school philosophy bullshit alert. -- Posted by Wilder at 2:19 pm on Sep. 4, 2008 In conclusion, I say that all logical and scientific research have no purpose in the end. This would be due to your unfamiliarity with science. Science is simply a way of making predictions based upon the assumption that our universe acts upon static principals. Science isn't supposed to take us into a golden age of wondrous miracles, it's supposed to help us understand the world. With a better understanding of things we can move towards other goals. Linguistic labels also serve this purpose. There is nothing wrong or deceptive about that. -- Posted by DonnieDarkko at 6:42 pm on Sep. 4, 2008 Quote: from ampamp at 10:16 pm on Sep. 4, 2008 High school philosophy bullshit alert. qft. -- Posted by Alabamarama at 9:28 am on Sep. 6, 2008 What is life for? It's a way to evolve thought. And what is thought for? It's a way to be aware; a stage between the physical and the spiritual. And time? It's a good way to keep everything separated. And lastly, why humans, and animals, and all other intelligent creatures? So that the spirit can be self-conscious. -- Posted by jonlester31 at 10:23 am on Sep. 6, 2008 Quote: from MystiqueBeauty16 at 5:15 pm on Sep. 4, 2008 Did you have a sudden burst of inspiration due to the "Small big bang" demonstration set to go next week? that really does scare me, alot -- Posted by JohnTheNormalOne at 1:39 pm on Sep. 6, 2008 Quote: from frumpy at 2:14 pm on Sep. 4, 2008 does humanity strive?
