1 What if when we die ,we wake up as new born babies




What if our phobias were how we died in our past life

You look at the stars at night and see a serene environment , the aurora lights ,
What if I told you it is horric chaos not just on our star ( The Sun) , yes every single star you see out there are Suns , and most of them are dead , we are only seeing their lights and 'twinkling ' now ,



What is the closet galaxy, that looks like a star on a telescope (circular , kinda like Saturn) is not a star but the Galaxy Andromeda our nearest galaxy ,heading straight to the milky way, sadly we wouldn't be alive to see the collisions of stars at night , it would be like we have stars both at night and daytime ,



2 blackholes the birth of life and its doom

I do believe aliens are very primitive if there are any at all (living at least )


Because like Columbus did to Americas and Arabs in the middle East ,Aliens would just clear up whatever is necessary or valuable on the planet( which is probably only oxygen) and just leave us out here stark naked in the globe , why would any civilized people, leave their home to civilize an 'uncivilized people'

Blackholes the very birth of life and its doom
Every single being and matter has its origin from space , iron , plasma, even virus (dead by origin ) live in the debris of Space, Mountains and Rocks


SupersNovas are the most violent death of a Star ( in basics a Sun) , how then are stars born , very similar to tge idea of general birth really , the sperm racing towards the eggs of a woman , through nuclear fusion ,this photon trapped in every blackhole tries in every which way possible to get out so it bounces all and about the black hole till just maybe a burst of light will be able to reach the very dense surface of the black hole , this gives massive burst of light littering space with massive chaotic burst of photons and gas , bigger Suns ( Red Giants) tend to go off faster than smaller stars like our sun , images below are of the birth of stars from a blackhole , and an actual death of a red giant caught by the Hubble spacecraft





We ask ourselves why are we here.....
What if theres no reason
What if like Rocks and Mountains exist without a reason we do without one too ,
we walk around every day looking for a purpose to a meaningless pattern, and maybe find someone to join you in this endless pattern, seems now two confused walkers may now have a purpose , which is to replicate itself using its DNA like viruses to create different forms of itself in the cycle called reproduction where again new beings continue with the meaningless essence of life
What if we are here to consume and be consumed again just like the virus and every other thing in space including our young sun growing consuming planets as the black hole spirals faster consuming galaxies

What if this world, our environment, experiences are mere figments of our imaginations and vary individually? What if the way we experience this earth, the colors we see, places, other humans around us is completely unique to each one of us, for example Lagos and its inhabitants are not really existing, just something my brain imagined to ease my sojourn here?

What if everybody sees colours differently? I see blue and I name it blue. You see red but you also name it blue. So when I say something is blue, you are seeing red oo, but you affirm because you call it blue?

What if this world is a pataphysical creation.
We are all just characters in a story book and we act out what is written of our character.
All our choices and freewill is an illusion.

And every story ever written in this world is also a universe of it's own.

Think about this: every part of you (including your amazing brain!) is made from different food items, water and air that you have consumed. Essentially, garri, rice, amala, oxygen etc are the ingredients/materials that have been processed into YOU! What can you make of this FACT?

You are wrong on how stars(sun) are born. Black hole do not give birth to a star, rather a star gives birth to a black hole. When some stars are about to die the core of that stars collapse because of the intense mass and gravity creating a black hole, nothing escape a black hole, not even light. A sun is born with the aid of gravity and suoermassive hot gas. If jupiter were to accumulate more gas it would have become a sun.

I make of this very non-fact that anyone who thinks such a stupid thing must be very stupid,

If they had bothered to fill their head with the ingredient called sense through study to acquire knowledge and develop intelligence they would not possibly be thinking with their amazing well developed brain that the brain inside their head is made from "different food items, water and air that you have consumed" alone.

You obviously didn't think deep enough to clearly grasp the fact I stated. (Or perhaps you simply lack the faculty to think at a level required for a proper comprehension of the fact!).
In any case, let me try to use a simpler analogy to help you get my point: I'm sure you are aware of the range of amazing, mind-blowing functions that a computer/laptop can perform. But when you think about it carefully, you will realize that the amazing laptop is simply a product of diverse materials/elements that are not really amazing themselves (like a laptop is) but which have been intelligently combined to produce something that is highly sophisticated.
Similarly, a human being (and every other living thing) is "built" through the various materials (food, water, air) that he consumes. You didn't start life as a human being. There were eggs in your mother's womb, one of the eggs got fertilized and became a foetus you. The foetus only developed as a result of getting nutrients from the mother (which was obtained from the food the mother ate!).
Eventually when you were born as a human being, you grew and developed from accumulating nutrients from the food you ate, water you drank and air you breathed. Essentially, it is garri, amala, water, air etc that became you (THIS IS UNARGUABLY THE FACT!).

I am certain you must have come across buda's definition of crap somewhere. Place budaatum+crap+create+head in the search bar and you will find it.

You do not know buda's faculty or how much buda considered a response. A person who seeks truths should not fill their head with their own crap.

I am currently after a computer to replace my two laptops, but I am struggling with the components that best match my budget. In my dreams is something like the G35CZ-UK002T with the following amazing specs:

Intel® Core™ i7-10700KF Processor 3.8 GHz Processor
32GB DDR4 2933MHz RAM
512GB SSD M.2 PCIe NVMe & 2TB SATA 7200RPM 3.5" HDD
GeForce RTX 2070 Super Graphics
Built in WiFi & Bluetooth

But there's no way I'm settling for a lousy 2070 at that price, and wish I could afford the RTX 3080 Ti, or the RTX 3050 at least, plus faster 64GB DDR4 at half what the above costs.

TruthSeeker1:
Similarly, a human being (and every other living thing) is "built" through the various materials (food, water, air) that he consumes.
No Sir, not "similarly", at all!

Please go back to the specs of my dream machine above. Every component on the list is made up of various materials like silica sand, iron ore, gold, bauxite and a lot of others, but I'm certain you will agree that that is what I'd be buying.

Just as a computer is not the silica sand, iron ore, gold, bauxite and a lot of others, so too is a living thing) not "built" through the various materials (food, water, air) that he consumes".

Yes I did start life as a "human that was being". You need to understand that phrase to get it though. I started becoming in my mother's womb for sure, but I only began being in my own right after she gave birth to me as a human, as you yourself noted in the first part of your's below.

TruthSeeker1:

Eventually when you were born as a human being, you grew and developed from accumulating nutrients from the food you ate, water you drank and air you breathed.Essentially, it is garri, amala, water, air etc that became you (THIS IS UNARGUABLY THE FACT!).
You say "grew and developed", yet do not include all that makes buda buda.

Please tell. Is it a fact that it is the "garri, amala, water, air etc" that you TruthSeeker1 are that is conversing with buda now?

Because it is a fact, as you can clearly see, that it us not "garri, amala, water, air etc" that is the buda that is responding to you TruthSeeker1.

budaatum
From the tone of your response and the approach of your argument, I can sense it will be difficult to have a productive/educative/meaningful discussion with you. So this may be my last reply to your comment.

I'm not saying a human being is exactly equivalent to the materials (food, water, air) from which he is "biologically manufactured", just as a computer is not exactly the same as the materials (metals, silicon, plastics, alloys etc) it is built from. The fact I'm stating is simply that different food items, water and air are actually the things that somehow got transformed/processed into a human being. This is a basic fact that we don't need to argue about; it's quite undeniable. Every part of your body (including your brain that enables you to perform different amazing cognitive functions) is basically made from the nutrients derived from food, water and air. FYI, the brain is about 75% water!
We are really supposed to be talking about what this fact implies or about what makes it possible etc.

You are wrong. And if you were not wrong you would be the equal of an animal, which according to you will is just the food it eats, and would be as capable as conversing with me as it is for a dog or a pig or a goat.

Please know that whether you continue to seek the truth is entirely up to you. Personally, I would only converse with you when you bring more to the discusdion than merely the "various materials (food, water, air), garri, amala, water, etc", that you claim is you, because, just by this deep thread you have created, it is obvious that you have a thinking mind, which I appreciate that you continue to use.

I disagree. It is actually a thoughtful thread capable of making people reason and think.

Unfortunately however, some would rather the "various materials (food, water, air), garri, amala, water, etc", do their thinking for them. And that is indeed baseless.
