• Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

if there were no organisms present to observe the universe unfolding like it does, what would be the point of it? Just a lot of gas and dust in this big box, billions of years from now, life on earth will perish, and as far as we can tell, there will be no life in the universe for the universe to know and observe itself, but it'll continue nonetheless, doing the same thing it always was. But then I wonder, what would be the point? It can't just be a big bowl of physics soup, can it? Basically, I'm asking why does the universe exist at all?

I suspect the universe is a single network node among near-infinite numbers of them. Each node being a universe. And that there are beings in some of the universes and not in others. But as you scale upwards you contact beings of less and less physical presence and more of pure 'mind' and they use this network of universes for their own purposes. And those purposes are varied depending on what physics and other properties and characteristics exist within a given universe.

No idea why it exists but I wish it'd collapse in on itself so I could disappear rn.

To exists and get out of it alive and to create your own and to destroy the double (parallel realities) so you can know and determine your fate so you don't repeat the same thing or to cease to exist, knowing its about experiencing what hell is like and if not, teaching you the value of what it could mean to have everything you ever wanted. Realistically, none of this makes sense, so I'm guessing with the fact it makes us to recognize that we should be better than it and not become the idiotic morons who broke through the matrix to abuse humans and to suffer...

I can't fathom a point at all. Just a bunch of stuff and forces acting upon one another. Simply, a series of events in time, all controlled by chance leading to established patterns.

I just think we happen to have brains that like to work stuff out. It's how we've become so successful. We didn't just discover fire or create the wheel, we tried to figure out how these things worked so we could replicate them. I think an equisitive mind gives animals an edge in this world.

Ours has simply progressed to the point where we want answers for everything. Plus, it's probably easier to accept the struggles in life if either you don't question at all and just live as best you can- as I imagine the majority of plant and animal life experience life.

Or, if you do question, you can come up with some story that gives it all meaning- religion etc. Even a personal sense that what you're doing is worthwhile for some reason. I just think 'meaning' is a coping mechanism that we happen to need because we're able to witness our mortal selves in relation to the world. Plus, we want a reason or compensation for the suffering we perceive and experience.

I can't personally find comfort in religion. While they may be right of couse, logically it just doesn't make sense to me. The most common themes- that we're here to learn or grow, I just struggle to see the end goal. It's just bizarre to me really. Like, religions give purpose in the sense of- obey these rules or else. I suppose they give us horrible depictions of hell as the 'else'. But still- I still don't understand the reasoning behind obeying these rules- to get to heaven. In order to do what though? The blink of an eye on earth to determine admittance into heaven for eternity. I just don't get why really. Or, if reincarnation is real- what are people trying to get better for? What's the end goal- again? It's like, religion is the end goal for some without actually providing an end goal (that makes sense to me anyhow.)

I just think it's probably all random weirdness that we were either lucky or unlucky enough to have been born in to. Although- that wasn't random. We know our parents decided to bring us about for whatever reason made sense to them.

No idea. I can't think of an answer that would be sufficient enough to answer that question. It just makes no sense for there to be a point to all of this
