Okay I get it, roger-wilco.
You can’t make someone change their mind; you can only be a good example. Then, if someone is so inclined, someone can follow suit.
The Beatles’ “Fixing A Hole” was playing when this thought appeared. I’m certain there’s some connection.
You need to do anything once before you can prove to yourself that you can do it.
You need to do anything at least twice before you can prove to anyone else that you can do it.
“I cannot think that the world as we see it, is the result of chance.”
- Charles Darwin
Oh Chuck D, that’s because to understand the probability of what did happen, you also need to understand the probability of the innumerable events that did not happen. Possibility demands it. (Possibility even demands impossibility.)
The myriad intelligent life forms that did not evolve do not attempt to find meaning in their existence. Because, obviously, they do not exist.
Hypothetically, if they did exist, having the knowledge of having not existed, they would be well aware of how their existence is completely the result of a near infinite amount of chances, just as their non-existence currently is. Life is weather permitting.
That Darwin could not let go of intelligent design (in 1860) only goes to show how powerfully the human brain can make us believe a thing, when all the physical evidence they’ve personally discovered points in a different direction.
Poor guy.
I found myself watching a YouTube video that I didn’t really want to watch and I clicked away from it. But because I’d watched the first few seconds of it, the recommendations that then appeared on my YouTube home page contained content similar to the video that I didn’t want to continue watching.
While this bit of automated programming functions if I’m enjoying the content, it did not today.
Watch out!
