I’m just wondering who I am. I do this from time to time. Who am I? And why am I here now and in this place doing whatever it is I’m doing? What is the greater purpose in being here? And what is it we are here to do? What is the nature of existence? How did all of this come to be? We are living, breathing, intelligent creatures living on a planet full of many other living, breathing, intelligent creatures. We were spawned from billions of years of evolution, from one-celled organisms to giant elephants. How did all of this happen? How did life even begin? What was the catalyst? What was the first living thing? And how did we make it this far? By dumb luck? By clearly calculated evolution? I don’t know. I wasn’t there. And neither were you.
I’m just curious about the origin of the universe and even of our small, trivial planet. How did it all start? What spawned the universe? You could say God did, but I find that to be a cop-out answer. That is the last resort of a man with no answers. I would just like to know how all these different things that have happened over the last trillions of years led up to me typing on a computer in the middle of the night. How did the universe end up so perfect, with billions of suns, and planets surrounding them? How did the suns get so damn hot? What caused them to heat up like that? And how did our planet get lucky enough to be just far away from the sun to have life? I’m sure it’s quite an amazing tale, but there is nobody to tell it because nobody was there.
I feel really expansive here. I feel like all the questions I’m asking are for naught. But I do feel I need to ask them. And don’t just say the Big Bang either. That makes absolutely no sense because what caused the Big Bang? An explosion like that can’t come out of nothing. I bet some scientist made up the Big Bang theory as a joke and everyone thought he was serious. So they went with it. There had to have been an origin of everything that exists today all across the universe, but you can’t make something from nothing. It’s very amusing to try and imagine what might have happened, but it is almost inconceivable to come up with a satisfactory answer. You could say anything you want about how the universe was formed, but whatever formed it had to come from something, and that had to come from something, and so on and so forth, so the only answer that is possible is that the universe has always been and always will be. Perhaps it has been expanding and contracting forever. But how? I don’t know. I wasn’t there. And neither were you.

The real answer is probably that you’ve created it. Nothing exists without a conscious perceiver. How many layers of camouflage would you have to get through to see the supposed REAL OBJECTIVE physical reality? Who knows? Does objective reality even exist? I guess it does, if that’s what you’ve created. BOOM PARADOX.
