Kill us

Everything in the world and even in the Universe is trying to kill us.

So why do we persist on killing us as well? Are we that eager to go extinct and suffer? Are we that reckless and ill compassionate? Not only us, but we force inhabitants of this planet to go extinct or suffer as well through some of our reckless behavior. Inhabitants of which do not get a choice as we do.

Are we so foolish as to contribute to the push of our own suffering and perhaps extinction someday?

Does anyone care? Perhaps no one realizes the consequences of action? Perhaps no one realizes that this planet does not revolve around us, for if it did it would not try to constantly wipe us out along with the Universe.

“The Universe is hostile, so impersonal” - Tool

Everything? Obviously not every thing is doing the same action. Every thing is not trying to kill someone.

Who is ‘us’ and ‘we’?

Disease, natural disasters, comets, radiation, the smallest mistakes. Anything and everything can kill us.

A rock can fall on a person or it can provide shelter from the wind and rain.

Radiation from the sun makes life possible.

You probably meant radioactivity - which can be used to generate electricity. Or date historical objects.

When was the last time anyone was killed by a comet? :-k

It’s besides the point of when, it doesn’t negate the fact that the planet/universe is hostile to us.

Life is extremely precarious, and in spite of the common knowledge of that, people go around in mad competition, to get one better over their neighbor, sometimes comitting murder, mayhem, robbery not to speak of despicable politics thereof. Why the heck do they do it, in spite of having been warned by sciptures of most religions? Because they are really very insecure from childhood on, not trustung themselves. This self distrust is long buried by the time of adulthood, so there it goes, projecting all these weaknesses upon others, less fortunate. The weakest go first to make them an example who may dar to cross our path.

If the planet/universe was hostile, then everyone would be dead. It would hardly be possible for humans to proliferate, as they have.

Because we’re all living in sunshine and rainbows right now right?

It’s beyond religion as well. There are plenty of cases and stories of people fighting over religion too. Just another reason to fight created by man kind. If people we’re knowledgeable to spirituality and the humanity contained within them, they would need no religion. Certainly wouldn’t see the need to fight over it either.

Your OP is illogical and contrary to evidence. Either make a rational argument or move on.

You say the universe/earth isn’t hostile when it blatantly is. Natural disasters which can wipe out thousands if not millions, asteroids, comets, etc.

Diseases that are unknown carried on those asteroids and outer objects (Micro-organisms) and who knows what else.

Pollution of which causes disease/illness as well. On top of that all you have people screwing their own race over.

Evolution and naturalism is a harsh process as well.

There is plenty of evidence of/for humanities suffering, nothing opposite about it.

He who does not want to see evidence, won’t.

He who wants to blind himself, will.

If everything is trying to kill ‘us’, then nothing is opposing it. Therefore it must succeed in killing ‘us’.

When you use a word like ‘everything’, then even one counter example invalidated your argument. There is a blade of grass outside which is not trying to kill me, therefore your claim is false.

BTW, ‘hostility’ requires intention. Does the universe intend to harm? Is the universe conscious?

I see nothing to do with intention here.^

When I say everything it’s not meaning “A blade of grass” not in such a literal sense. But a blade of grass could kill you anyways.

The universe is conscious, because we are it, experiencing itself.

How can anything but a conscious being with intent, be friendly or unfriendly? A rock can’t be friendly, a bacteria can’t be friendly…

You admit the error in your OP. That’s good.

You are the universe experiencing itself and you are trying to kill yourself. You got a problem, brother. :open_mouth:

You asked if the universe is conscious, well we’re conscious. Except people do kill people.

Is that all you use is satire and mockery? You do realize it’s a form of true insanity right?

It wasn’t an error in the op, it was an error in your interpretation of what I meant. Nice try.

The basics of what I am saying is that the Earth/Universe is constantly a threat to us and there are many thing’s possible to wipe us out or kill tons of life. Anything/everything can kill a living thing. It is a hostile environment for life, take a look around the universe, do you see life everywhere? No. Hence it’s hostility.

There are conscious beings in the universe. That is not the same as saying that the universe is conscious.

Satire and mockery is a form of insanity? That’s news.

You write a poor OP and blame others for ‘misinterpreting’ it. Nice try.

More of those idiot words - ‘constantly’, ‘anything’, ‘everything’, ‘everywhere’.
:frowning:

Lol… conscious beings in the universe, for the universe, through the universe, made of the universe, experiencing the universe. Is it that hard to see the connection between the eye and a galaxy? Too hard for you to comprehend the micro to macro huh?

I didn’t write a poor anything. The universe is everything, the Earth is everything here that the common everyday man knows.

It’s not really news, maybe to the ignorant, old news. But then if it is old, how can it be new?

Using words makes you an idiot? Perhaps taking everything in a literal sense makes you more of an idiot.

If you don’t plan on contributing to the thread, you should just leave. It’s evident regardless of what you say that there are threats, both earth and universe. There is not an abundance of life flowing in the universe that we see, so yes. Harsh conditions.

You are right about your OP, as well as that.
I can’t wait until you get into the why’s and how’s involved. :sunglasses:

Right!!! We are. How is a crystal formed? Have You seen the intricacies of it’s design? How doe You know it’s not conscious? Remember once, a long, long time ago, it was a tree. A tree for a very laborere to lay down and slumber under being protected by the harsh rays of the noon sun? Remember? Maybe You were once, a very very very long time afo that laborer? Maybe You lumberd under that magic tree., once to b3come a prismic crystal, of Your heart. Remember who You were then, and who are You now. I bet You cannot remeber the tree, the ancient and revered tree once upon a time in a dark forest, when You were a little one so afraid of the dark. Or, when You were a mere primate of a different sot, and You had to limb up on the hithermost branche to escape the fiersome king of the jungle? So tell me , are You,can You be sure,it has no memory of You?
