    If we were all dumber...

    IRONY ALERT: The title


    Ever wonder why we think about the meaning of life? Why can't we just live life with our thumbs and make shelter and babies? If we were all just a little dumber, we wouldn't care why we are here, we would just live happily. Is that the consequence of being able to invent? That we have to question everything and almost drive each other insane trying to figure it out?

    I am not saying we are wasting our time - I am just saying if humans were just a tad bit more stupid, we wouldn't give a shit about the universe. We would just accept that it is there, stare in awe at it, then go make more babies. Instead, we have to map out ways it got there, wonder who made it, then who made who ever made the universe, then who made that.. and so on.


    Intelligence is stupid, stupid is intelligence. When we are smrt as foxes we can't accept things as just being, we gotta find out why they be in the first place.

    Ahahaha, I crack myself up sometimes.

    Oh ho ho ho... you're terrible.


    All I know is that A dolphin has as much intelligence as a human. They can even Hit up some cash and get a butler.

    But why?


    Why what?


    Why do dolphins exist?

    Who cares just eat your noodles.


    Sounds good.



    If only we handled every inquiry about existence this way... ahh, so simple.

    Because people don't handle things this way

    To respond to that you'd have to either say faith or biology come into play and thus you defeat the idea of living without meaning.

    There is none so humbled, so awed, so miserable as he who sees too clearly.

    It wasn't a question, it was a statement. If there was nothing to argue about because we simply didn't care - would there be war and blood baths? Nope, we'd just live for the sake of living.

    Im not saying this is how things should be, I am just going on little tangents. Why not? After all, that is part of being human - imagining things and what would they be like in different circumstances

    There at least you see your own paradox. If it wasn't for your intelligence, you would have never made this revelation.

    Like I said, intelligence is stupid - and I heart paradoxes - they are where you can find more questions to other questions that are still unanswered to begin with.

    Therefore if a question= the question of another unanswered question then you have triad= mental breakdown.

    Na na.... see, if a question is the answer of another question, and the original question didn't get it's answer, then the second question is the actual answer of the first question, which means the answer for the second question is the answer for the first question.... but not.

    You see?

    See.... it's not, because two positives are not magnetic to each other, therefor the real answer of the first question is actually the oposite of the answer for the second question.

    How's that smoke from the ears?

    Life has no meaning other than the meaning one attaches to life.

    I'm an atheist and a sceptic. I question everything and always conclude that there is no meaning to life. That's what gives my life meaning. It also passes the time between meals.

    The best things in life aren't things.
