shut tha fuck up and show some motion in your videos. make it interesting

[MenoftheInfinite]

@urbanlion100 - Shut the fuck up and show some intelligence in your comments. Make them interesting.

[MarxIzalias]

How pretentious, and entirely wrong.

It's easy, the answer to everything is pretty simple, Nothing changes.

[MenoftheInfinite]

@MarxIzalias - Really? So, this page was exactly the same before you posted that? The only thing that doesn't change is change itself.

[quarrel02]

You cant really define non existance ether. These are just concepts that emerged from people finding things to ether be there or not. I wanna know is there really such thing as existence or non existance?

[KINGDITJoe]

you just another person who needs help if not research studies

[TWENTYFO5]

@bob10marley

It's sort of odd when Lawrence describes that the reason we are all 'here' is because nothing changes, although when I say we are 'here', everything is equal to nothing which fits in with thermodynamics.

[bob10marley]

@MarxIzalias I just read a transcript PDF. Now I'm watching another YT video from richarddawkins' page. Thanks for the tip.

@bob10marley

Your dealing with a paradox bob.

Look up a universe from nothing by Lawrence Krauss

[bob10marley]

@MarxIzalias Everything changes. Nothing remains the same.

esta tudo dito e mais de que uma vez.... deus é a natureza , a natureza criou e anda é capaz de sustentar a vida nos dias de hoje . . . deus é o sol etc etc

[Philosification]

Why does something have to "be a thing" in order to exist, or be recognizable, it shouldn't have to. Quality cannot be a prerequisite for existence, only quantity. How much of the world around you can you strip away and still have existence. How much of your perception can you strip away before you cease to exist? How many of your mental processes?

[Luigi84289]

@kirbytrooper That is the nature of matter. All matter is movement. Move it faster and some of the elements will gain enough speed to break free of any bonds (heat), slow matter down and the opposite occurs. This is why our bodies have to be kept at a set temperature range or they cease being our bodies.

@focista6 Love is primitive. Dogs and cats can love too. Love is having an affinity for another organism. Developing connections that make it preferable to be with that person or other animal because they cause your brain to release pleasureful neurotransmitters. That is also the root of the strongest hate. Love is a drug. And a necessary one for the survival of our species.

[Luigi84289]

@MarxIzalias So you're the exact same as you were at your birth?

[focista6]

@BeAsTm0aD love is merely a human emotion, granted to us by our brain through millions of years of evolution to react to the environment in a certain way. so life, wherever that may be in the universe, is about a reptilian emotion? :)

[kirbytrooper]

@MarxIzalias

that nothing is not nihilistic in a way

the nature of everything is to keep in motion to keep moving to always change. the nature is seen in everything as everything is ruled by it.

[MarxIzalias]

@kirbytrooper

What's everything made from again?

Nothing...

[kirbytrooper]

@MarxIzalias seriously its easy to see everything is always changing

[Raansite]

An observer cannot even theoretically observe itself except by implication so by the proposed definition the observer itself cannot be said to exist and so neither can anything else exist since to exist requires an (existing) observer. The question then of nothingness as a demarcation now comes into play as the observer is itself nothing. However if we amend and add implication to the definition we can then assert the existence of unobserved and indeed unobservable but implied phenomena.

[cartoonhead5]

If to exist means to present an appearance to an observer then existence assumes an observer exists. For example i could argue a rock is an observer becuse it has an appearance but a rock doesnt have any senses to present an apperance with. So existence is just an illusion created by the senses, in other words existence does not exist.

[HaveFaithInScience]

I loved the video! Very well thought out and very informative. Thanks for the information!

[MarxIzalias]

@MenoftheInfinite

Nothing changes, have you not watched a universe from nothing, by Lawrence Krauss?

[BeAsTm0aD]

Our experience of "change" has to mean something, why else would we see it? If I get my hand shot off, is that not change? I'm missing a hand now when I wasn't before. Sure it could be an illusion of whatever people say, but our senses have to stand for something in this world even if there is some degree of sight hidden from our senses. We see the basics I guess, but we do see change.

[BeAsTm0aD]

I believe existence is simply to find what you love to do in life because when you find what you love then you don't question the purpose of it all as much, do you? Does that say something? That has to be the purpose of life. Do what you want because you CAN do it. The ability to question life is much like the illusion of depression. Depression is merely a sign telling you that you need to get up and do something, find something you love, but is misinterpreted. You feel worthless... GO OUT,LIVE!

[DanceSexy101]

On a more shallow level...you have a very pleasant voice and I like the thought provoking pictures you use (so don't need video to distract from what you are saying (urbanlion)). I like listening to you. If urbanlion wants video fun he should exit and watch some MTV or BET or whatever lol
