For an easy breakdown of it, read here: http://www.planetpapers.com/Assets/3957.php However, I take back that it's totally pointless - sorry if I came across as snobby or rash. A lot of people have actually put a lot of thought into that question; Metaphysics is a fun, if isolated, field to work with and think about. You should definitely read some Descartes if you're interested in whether or not the world as we know it is real or not. And thanks for laughing it off instead of attacking me. Good to know you're a nice guy; and sorry.

about the galaxies...some are not necessarily bigger than others. you see that big mofo in the middle? chances are it is just closer that the rest. you need to realize the universe is over 14 billion miles long, and expanding at every second. what makes my mind go crazy is that since there are billions of stars just like our sun, the chances of life elsewhere are pretty big. think of what is out there!!!
about dogs...they havent evolved to the point that they can see ghosts. ghosts do not exist, it is just a myth to scare little kids |

yeah dude i agree i have seen ghosts before i swear, not recently but when i was little i saw my grandpa. and i have heard ghost stories, my friends dad was talkin about how he lived in a house that they used to bring dead people to before they went to the moorg or somethin like that, he had so many crazy stories (sorry dont really remember what the house used to be but it was somethin like that) but anyway, i think language is soo weird. like how the fuck did we come up with so many sounds, because thats what languages are jsut a bunch of sounds and symbals, that express what we mean. if you guys jsut read that you understood those symbals and probably atleast kind of got what i was trying to say, and that is so wierd, try to think of how language started. i mean if you try to think back to how it would be with no language, people could just use gestures to explain themselves. and slowly people came to realize that food is the thing we eat. when i think of how language started i think of people (ill use the food example) pointing at their freshly killed rabbit and making a sound that sounds like food. eventually we started to associate more and more words with our thoughts and with different items. and the more words we had, the larger the language could become. i cant think of any way that certain words could have became words by just pointing at things, some words had to come about by use of other words. haha as i thought of what i was writing it kinda sounds stupid, but this really baffles me i just suck at explaining my thoughts

my house was owned by native americans before my dad bought it (keep in mind i had no knowledge of this when i was a kid about 5 years old). i slept in a bunkbed with my brother, i am on the bottom. every single night there is the same damn exact shadow of a native american sitting indian style with a stick in his hand at the edge of my bed. i would always tell my brother to stay up because i need his protection against it in case it did anything to me, and i even put crayons under my pillow to throw at it but i never did because i was too scared shitless. he always fell asleep like a damn bum leaving me sweating under the covers in the hot summer scared for my life that it would do something. this happend numerous times. i told my parents and they gave me my own room and ever since then i have never seen it.

Hm, well the way we see things is through our eye's(duh) and light waves blah blah, science science.
If you really think about it. Our body works like an organic machine. Everything co-works with eachother in the body(think cells). I would love to talk more about this stuff(fun). But excuse while I kiss the sky...

Ok what gets me about the whole language thing is how did such a large group of people decided that these new "Words" would be meant for one thing..... I dont know if that makes sense but ill try to explain. Ok lets say you are eating that rabbit you were talking about... Why is rabbit the correct word? What if i wanna call that duck? Who decided what word should be designated to that on such a grand scale.... Look at how many people speak English and most of us use the exact same word.... I call it a cookie and i live in Texas Right by Mexico... How many of you call it a cookie and where are you in the world O.o Sorry if that didnt make sense im a little high |

Honestly, this is not especially intelligent. Lets be serious here this a whole bunch of why are we here and what ifs. Questioning one's being is very basic. While the unintelligent choose religion for the most part, the intelligent search for more reason and meaning. The level to which you search for knowledge is the measure in society and in life. Obviously not all people who are religious are unintelligent, it just seems like whenever I meet a religious intellect it seems like they have a bunch of questions they need thier God to answer.
So in the end, this is somewhat intelligent but only because we arent just saying "Dude....life is like, weird, you know? Wait!....was I saying again?". Its also random, but completely stereotypical lol.

god damnit ima cry haha jk but im pissed i wrote a bunch and accidently hit this search button and it erased it all
so i was talkin about how huge space is, its rediculous i took summer school for 9th grade earth science because i ditched a shit ton(haha ironic i know here i am in the intelligent stoner thread talkin about how i was in summer school) but anyway the teacher talked about space and how huge it was and it baffled me completely i dont remember a lot of the numbers and shit used to im googlin it a lightyear is the distance light travels in a year 1 lightyear=9,500,000,000,000 kilometers since light travels 300,000kilometers a second the average distance between the earth and the sun is about 150million km, or 93 million miles. and the distance between the earth and its closest star is about 4.24 lightyears. there are billions and billions of stars in the milky way alone and if earths closest star is 4.24 lightyears away than picture how huge space is. according to the site im lookin at, the milky way is 150,000 lightyears across there are so many different galaxies that are probably all around that size and look at the picture i attached, that shows the earth compared to the sun, and the sun is just a medium sized star. holy fuck this rapes my mind, space is too huge think of all the other planets

yeah i know what you mean its so insane though, people are weird. we are trying to hard to learn as much as we can but why? yea knowledge is fuckin priceless but what good does it do for us to know that there is a giant squid(an example, jsut something people are trying to learn about right now)...the world could end anytime and knowing whether or not there is a giant squid isnt gonna change that. people are stupid, i honestly hate humans and wish that animals and bugs would take over mankind and kill us all, take back their world, we came into it and fucked everything up and we are all greedy and ignorant hypocrite fucks. why do we try to learn more instead of fix all the damage we have brought, we are killing forests and slowly dooming this earth, but instead of trying to find out how to stop this we dont, we try to learn things we do not know. i say we should fix what he have brought and then learn more. i wish people were peaceful, its dumb as fuck that if we do find out giant squids are real i can gaurantee people will try to hunt them for some kind of delicasy(spell) or cool lookin boots. sorry this is kind of a rant but not at the same time lol.
