Awesome pic. Gonna definitely share this with some friends. "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind" - Albert Einstein
"The Mighty One appears, the horizon shines. Atum appears on the smell of his censing, the Sunshine- god has risen in the sky, the Mansion of the pyramidion is in joy and all its inmates are assembled, a voice calls out within the shrine, shouting reverberates around the Netherworld." - Egyptian Book of the Dead
"Man fears time, but time fears the Pyramids" - 9th century Arab proverb

I loved this! It reminded me of this - http://www.simulation-argument.com/computer.pdf - for some reason, which I refuse to believe. However, his the logic is flawless, which is very spooky.

Imagine how much of that luck get's wasted when you simply don't seize the day!!! It's amazing just to find out, so true and so clear that there is no good or bad, only love and fear and that is all we are messing with during our whole human history and WOW that was my first hit. A moment of freedom out of the ape's sealed skin.

Like Descartes, you may exist in your own mind, but that's about it. Don't get too hung up on it. WHOA!

And this doesn't even take into account how crazy it is that ANYTHING can exist in the first place. When factoring in the assortment of subatomic particles needed to create specific carbon atoms, and then factoring in that they need to fuse together to form complex molecules which end up forming DNA, combined with how we humans evolved through a long process of natural selection to be such a specific way in such a specific environment called earth which just so happens to be the only place we can find in the galaxy (currently) that can support our existence, THEN factor in all of history, how if even one event had been slightly different it could entirely negate your existence, well... needless to say it becomes a run on sentence if nothing else All posts are from the fictional perspective of The Legendary Tek: the formless, hyperspace exploring apprentice to the mushroom god Teo. Tek, the lord of Eureeka's Castle, is the chosen one who has surfed the rainbow wave and who resides underneath the matter dome. All posts are fictitious in nature and are meant for entertainment purposes only.

And I thought the odds of someone in the jungle finding the combination of plants containing maoi's and DMT were great, this just blows it away!

This was fun. I think the hypothetical man in the example is fairly shy and unlucky with women, but the odds are staggering regardless. Of course, if we are conscious beings who choose to inhabit material bodies, then we existed before these improbable bodies were formed and will continue doing so when they no longer serve our purposes. Furthermore, if these particular bodies never made it to existence, we could always have inhabited other ones. All of that is assuming that this world is not just a dream... "Curiouser and curiouser..." ~ Alice
"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." ~ Buddha

How can one not exist? What is not existing?
