  1. Every day every time someone sees you, you being there will alter their thoughts, even so slightly. this tiny alteration will cause them to act differently and thus effect others differently and in truth your existence will live throughout all of humanity

  2. This philosophy is a cop out. It is like saying "we are here for no reason, lets make the best out of it". It is only concerned with the physical world and denies the existence of anything that is not observable. This would mean that all our laws, ethics and morals are just convention and don't have any real meaning. Who is to say what is best or fair. Any tyrant would be completely justified in their action because they are acting out what is best for them.

  3. I don’t want to start a galactic empire. The human race has already fucked up the small amount of space we already have, what makes you think we are qualified or deserving of more space? Maybe if we can fix our home planet, THEN we can explore the stars.

  4. Cuando tenía 8 años empecé a darme cuenta de esto que llamamos realidad y me cuestionaba todo, a los 11 me dio una depresión muy horrible por la sensación de estar "soñando" y de pensar que se sentiría ser alguien mas o incluso otro tipo de ser vivo y si realmente las cosas seguían estando ahí aunque no las viera, y de lo limitados que son nuestros sentidos, me quería morir para saber que pasaría y pues el sentimiento de estar soñando era horrible. Actualmente ya me acostumbré y me da igual, pero no he encontrado a nadie que haya sentido eso y que le haya parecido terrible
