The midlife crisis

Note: I thought of this before I read Sarah’s blog.


The ultimate question is ‘What is the average age that people understand their own part in the universe?’ This could be related to a midlife crisis that happens between 40 and 60 (average is 46), or people may come to the realization before or after.


Let me start off with the midlife crisis. Contrary to popular belief, the midlife crisis usually has nothing to do with aging (unless you count different chemical reactions in your body due to aging). The midlife crisis is usually something due to obvious reasons such as death of a parent, children leaving home, etc. At this point in life, people confront the facts of their lives and determine if they have led a successful life. Then, they either make changes or realize that they have lived how they wanted to live and stay the same. So…they determine their part in the universe.


Some people may have epiphany moments in their lives to determine their part in the universe, and so they factor into the early (or later) years of the equation.

Questions with Problems.




I'd Wager that the answer to the question of life, the universe , and everything , is just another question. If it were possible to truely know the answer to such a thing it would cause more trouble and harm then it would fix or give peace. The answer if such a thing exists could easily be something of such a depressingly bland nature (i.e why not?, or because, or even, nothing which is in a sense something but it wont do you any good to know that anyway) What benefit could there possibly be to knowing the "answer" to life the universe and everything? I think that one of the major issues with the whole question posed by THGTG (The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) is that the question they ask is far to broad to be of any benefit other than an answer that is so absurd and general that its meaning is lost because they ask the wrong question. They are then prodded to create something to figure out what the ultimate question is! Questions beget answers, but they also beget more questions. The easiest example I have of this is the simple curiosity of a child in asking you "why" until you have no answer.




The problem with questions is that they are like an if then else statement in programming




IF there is a question


THEN look for an answer


and


IF the answer leads to more questions repeat




ELSE get on with your Life.




END






So it would seem to my mind that the simplest way to avoid infinite loop answer question combinations you ask for the answer to everything then you would be without questions.




Now consider what life might be like without questions. would people still grow and develop? or would they just age? Would the answer to everything be transfered by repetition or would it be passed on in our very genetic code.




The mice wanted the human brains because they contained the processing components that allowed in the depths of human subconscious the sub routine of what is the ultimate question to run in the background while a biotic component experiences a series of things during the span of its bio coding and as a result the infomation gained by one processing unit can be passed to others to continue the code for finding the desired result. In doing so an infinite variety and system of randomness is imposed on the system because each processing unit is the same in basic principle but more often then not will not have the exact same experience of its predecessors. Therefore, life itself makes sense to be the perfect computing unit to process the broadest of questions by arriving at the broadest of answers through random events and experienced differences. BAM! brain explosion, enjoy your day .

42 Singing Robot Dolphins With ai

Hello, my name is Jordan Douglas Adams Thompson (so many terrible boy names put together) and I'm here to bash your brains in with a pokeball.

I want to start off by saying that intelligence cannot be mimicked and placed into a metal frame. That body does not act of it's own accord; there are a multitude of pre thought out options given to it and not one feeling is original; it belongs to someone else. Now, I didn't finish that reading assignment because frankly, I was already dehydrated trekking through the desert with a bad case of cotton mouth and I couldn't handle anymore dry-ness. I saw the words Star Wars so I had hope, but it was quickly smashed into ground and is now seeking shelter with Diglet.

Any who, what, when, where, why, how

42. Great number isn't it? I mean I guess, it's all even and junk so it's not as cool as all those odd numbers he could have chosen from the Universe. But maybe the answer to life, the universe, everything isn't very cool at all....like 42. Maybe it just means 42 birds are going to stand in a line for 42 seconds on the 42nd of Jafemaraynlygusepocvemdec; I mean, who cares?! Jafemaraynlygusepocvemdec isn't even recognized as a month in Canada, and we all know Canadians stole the power of the Earth.

I think it really means that 42 magic carpets are spread throughout the world and they hold the true answer to "how many magic carpets are in the world?" One's in Atlantis and I plan on finding it.

Pleasant evenings to you all.
