Comments by "Orwellian Horseman of the Apocalypse" (@DennisMoore664) on "Joe Rogan Experience #1428 - Brian Greene" video.

It was a bad analogy. There are many scientists who make a completely legitimate career out of studying ants and other insects to try and understand them - some who even try to communicate in some way with them. You ever see videos of people waving at a bee and the bee mimics the motion? Come on now - that's weird and maybe even some kind of communication is happening. There's a lot more going on than our current understanding of reality can explain. It's my same problem with atheism even though I effectively an an atheist.

It's all connected. In fact, we may all be the same being just trying to figure itself out. All the good and bad we do to each other and ourselves is simply part of that learning process, but we should still do our best to be excellent to each other - Party on dudes and dudettes!

@oscarlohens8586 But then we will know that we are one such being being made of all that ever has been and all that ever will be. Loneliness, like all things we experience in this life, is only something we know while we are in this life. Moreover we might be even be one such being in an infinite number of such beings. Or maybe it's all just BS and when we're done we're done. Either way, enjoy the ride while it lasts bro! It'll be over in a blink.

@newsrapper Not an agnostic since I'm willing to take a stand. I'd like to be an atheist since that's probably the correct answer, but I can't shake this feeling there is something more - hopefully a lot more. I used to say "God for lack of a better term". Then I found Spinoza. I believe Pantheistic is the correct term. Gives me room to be flexible about it all. Maybe pantheistically agnostic would be even more accurate.

John Doe I saw that episode of Southpark but I think we were a reality show in jeopardy of being cancelled.

@pLaIrVaIdNoGx The being I refer to as me didn't exist before my parents created me - at least not that I am aware of (other than in some abstract sense). But I don't know what you are talking about since I've looked back over my posts and I don't see any mention or assertion of nonexistence in any of them. Is your comment in reference to atheism?
