A theory of the origin and meaning of life?

Lets assume determinism is correct, and all events are predetermined. Consiousness then is completely unnecessary since events unfold the same way whether a brain is consious or not. If events are determined, life is only combinations of atoms that interact with each other uniquely given a temperature class, aka an earth environment where interference from high radiation levels dont destroy the systems due to the atmosphere. So, life isn't anything different then non-living things in principle, it just behaves in a complex way compared to non-living things. In essense, the universe is consious, but only where complexity allows it. We are just events like stars or black holes, and it was all determined to be so life cannot affect the universe as it is the universe. We are watching a universe film play out where even our parts are written already, because we arent seperate from the film. Whos to say what structures are possible at other temperatures or in different environments that might yield complex behavior? Point being, we are the molecules following the laws of physics that act on complex collections of atoms, so in a way, we are one with the universe because there is at a deep level no difference between us and other events. All things are meaningless, as there are no decisions to be made in the first place, things just are.

If we all have lobotomies we would have peace. Peace is not worth living a lie, or sacrificing your reality. World peace, national peace, county peace, city peace, it is all a joke.

Peace is an individual thing, and it cannot be won by ignoring painful realities but by facing them.

For an example of a painful reality, see below.

Importance is a normative concept. It would be natural for a human to consider a human fetus to be more important and thus when asking the question of humans, that is typically the answer you would expect. And you will likely see justified condemnation of those who disagree. Certainly I find a human fetus more important. I could see how one could make a purely logical argument that it depends on the animal, but the visceral moral sense in humanity would tend to override that. However, the fact that there could be a conflict between the logical and moral sense could lead to some legitimate debate about the morality. However, I find it unlikely that answering anything other than "human fetus" would receive anything other than condemnation and that would be quite justified.

Certainly, to the extent that animals can exhibit their opinion on importance based on their behavior, you can infer that many, in fact most, animals would consider their own fetus to be more important than those of any other species, including humans. Some animals have no regard for their young, but in very few do they show it so little regard that they wouldn't find it more important than an unborn human at least. They might kill the fetus of another member of their own species though, but that would often be fear of competition which suggests that they do consider it important, just not beneficial.

Note that none of this bears on the abortion debate, which does not weigh human fetus versus animal fetus, but the right of life of a human fetus to the right of autonomy in the body of the woman who bears that fetus.

wow not impossible to be both at all. in fact I think they go hand in hand. instead of making fun of others, you can make fun of your own shortcomings. of course others have confused this in me with low self esteem, but I fully and completely disagree, I think you have to have some serious self esteem to make fun of your short comings, because after all aren't we all the same?

what about all the things we do or forget?

It could be because I am clean, I don't use foul (fowl) language because I am too chicken.

the word play and insufficienties alone are enough for a lifetime of material.

its completely doable to go in so many directions. science, look at Big Bang theory, a little over the top sex wise sometimes but the comedy is also over the top, not lacking in anything.

I think what has been done is the same things over and over.
Like a child that does something at 2 that makes people laugh
he does it over and over till its not funny anymore or its not funny at 7.

This whole earth is related. We are relatives of the animal world we breathe the same air, we raise families, we get in each others way.. now go find some comedy in that and turn off the "other" comics. ;) Robin Williams was the only genius comic in my lifetime that was memorable to me. I also saw the deep sadness seriousness full range of emotions. He could make fun of himself and thats what we need not making fun of others.
