Can things exist without making "sense"?

  1. What do you think?
     
  2. Sure, the world was round way before it made sense to people.
     
  3. Um death.
     
  4. The Olympic psuedo-sport of Curling makes no sense to me... yet it exists, so I'd say yes.
     
  5. Nothing makes fuckin sense LOL
     
  6. [quote name='"08 BANSHEE"']Nothing makes fuckin sense LOL[/quote]

    Very true.
     
  7. What a small, small world.
     
  8. Maybe they don't make sense to us but ultimately, it might have a deeper function or sense with respect to its inherent nature.

    You know me haha?
     

  10. I thought the same lol :D
     
  11. Didn't I meet you that one time in the bar that time over by the park that people like?
     
  12. ... .....
     
  13. Exactly. :p

    Also, everything exists without making sense, that is, until we make sense of it.
     

  14. As we are the perceivers/observers of reality. Kind of like the "if a tree falls in the woods and nobody hears it does it make a sound" question.
     
  15. It does make a sound...
     
  16. How would anything exist to "make" sense without ever passing through a phase in which it didn't?

    It makes a wavelength/vibration, but sound requires sensing.

    I agree with most of the posts here. Sense is something done by an observer. Nature does its thing and we do our best to make sense of it using the senses we're given.
     
  18. No, no it doesn't.
     
  19. A sound is another name for a vibration.
     
  20. Yup. But we call it a sound once this vibration is sensed by our ears. Otherwise it's just a vibration that nothing sensed.
