I live my life knowing that eventually the earth will die. The sun
may get too hot even before it finally goes all red giant and shit. And if we happen to colonize other planets, know that they will eventually die as their own sun dies. And then there is the looming threat of Universe contraction. And if the Universe does not contract, it will continue to expand and eventually we will have a dark night without star light star bright. What a ****in' future. Ribs anyone? |

Everything is temporary, even here and now,even ribs. Practicing some meaning giving stories may help. As autonomous information structures, 'humans' operate under constraints, as they are insane. The insanity is still there, though the constraints of the hunter-gatherer are not. The mystery of the fact of existence, now, also remains. Resolution is not available, to me. |

If you're worried about the Sun going Red Giant and the universe contracting, you must be expecting to live for a long, long time. If you live that long, you will have done the supernatural, and so will have the universe. |

'We' or most of 'we', live our lives inside various perspectives of finite limits where all futures hold some sort of termination. So seeing universal contraction as a threat is exactly the same as seeing any form of death as a threat. Since you may be posting from alt.food.barbecue it would make sense then that yours is a very long term outlook. Beside, the earth does not die. It gets done. |

But 'simulated ribs' are never quite as good as the real thing. |

Conclusions like the above are formed by the shallow, the trite, the trivial, those who do not know what it means to think deeply and to question profusely and to find real answers. There are many like you. The planet Earth is populated by people like you. |

I like your conclusion, even though things end, get on with the rest of it and why worry about it till it gets here? This mainly applies to things out of our control but for things in our control we are responsible and can learn to enjoy things despite the parts we cannot control. Here listen to this Roman philosopher to get what I mean; http://www.archive.org/download/ench...tetus_64kb.mp3 http://librivox.org/the-enchiridion-...zabeth-carter/ ....to the extent that the new naturalism is true, its pursuit seems certain to generate two great spiritual dilemmas. The first is that no species, ours included, possesses a purpose beyond the imperatives created by its genetic history. Species may have vast potential for material and mental progress but they lack any immanent purpose or guidance from agents beyond their immediate environment or even an evolutionary goal toward which their molecular architecture automatically steers them. I believe that the human mind is constructed in a way that locks it inside this fundamental constraint and forces it to make choices with a purely biological instrument. If the brain evolved by natural selection, even the capacities to select particular esthetic judgments and religious beliefs must have arisen by the same mechanistic process. They are either direct adaptations to past environments in which the ancestral human populations evolved or at most constructions thrown up secondarily by deeper, less visible activities that were once adaptive in this stricter, biological sense. The essence of the argument, then, is that the brain exists because it promotes the survival and multiplication of the genes that direct its assembly. The human mind is a device for survival and reproduction, and reason is just one of its various techniques. Steven Weinberg has pointed out that physical reality remains so mysterious even to physicists because of the extreme improbability that it was constructed to be understood by the human mind. We can reverse that insight to note with still greater force that the intellect was not constructed to understand atoms or even to understand itself but to promote the survival of human genes. The reflective person knows that his life is in some incomprehensible manner guided through a biological ontogeny, a more or less fixed order of life stages. He senses that with all the drive, wit, love, pride, anger, hope, and anxiety that characterize the species he will in the end be sure only of helping to perpetuate the same cycle. Poets have defined this truth as tragedy. ... ....we have no particular place to go. The species lacks any goal external to its own biological nature. It could be that in the next hundred years humankind will thread the needles of technology and politics, solve the energy and materials crises, avert nuclear war, and control reproduction. The world can at least hope for a stable ecosystem and a well-nourished population. But what then?... On Human Nature - Edward O. Wilson 1978 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...id=1036537594/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMdVz1AkBvo |

My favorite method of doing ribs is to give them a rub, smoke them in a smoker. The next day grill them over hot coals. Brush a bit of sauce on them. |

Your posting reflects a consuming narcissistic belief that you possess such superior intellectual insight that any random unrelated forum on earth will surely benefit from your ironically condescending pontifications on the ignorance of others, even when it's already been made clear that your "contribution" is unwelcome. I'm sure that's all way over your head so I'll translate. Your self-serving arrogant bullshit is about as welcome in a barbecue group as a cat turd in your bed. Here's some philosophy. I think, therefore you suck. Jimmy John Wanna sammich? |
