All humans are just globs of carbon atom chains that have gained a conscious awareness of surroundings, existing only to replicate itself. "Love" is only the electricity in our brain that gives us the urge to reproduce. The only reason we want a long life is natural instinct to survive, and death is just the passing of matter into different compounds sooner or later that matter may be consumed by some other life form. "Religion" is a human construct in which we try to make since of the unexplained, for we have higher intelligence than the other life forms on this Earth, our curiosity has reached to more complex horizons. Trying to find meaning, for we fear the unknown. None of us have a "purpose" or a "meaning" both of which are also human constructs, we are only a chemical reaction created billions of years ago, only to exorb energy to evolve into something more complex. Though the reason the universe even exists at all is too much for us to comprehend, we can only say that "it exists... For the lols."
What is your view on the matter of existence anons?
It is never too late to accept Jeebus Cripes as your Lord and Savior. He will give your life meaning.

I am only asking YOUR view of the universe and why things are the way they are. And if there is anything you have to disagree with me.
Jeremiah Perez
I left out your last sentence for a reason.
Liam Reed
I personally believe we are not yet advanced enough to comprehend the reason for existence, I just want to hear other peoples probably more educated opinion on the grand scheme of things, though I doubt I can find an answer.
Colton Nguyen
>reason error 404: Not Found
there isnt a reason. The planets formed because space rocks collided, no grand reason, just physics.
The big bang happened because of what ever causes big bangs. no grand theory, just physics we dont know about yet, maybe never will
Lincoln Jones
Exactly. Why the fuck is there even a big bang? Why isn't there idk... Nothing at all?even though lack of existence is impossible to imagine.
Matthew Ramirez
By reason I mean the cause of why everything is even happening to begin with.
Nathaniel Young
you are here to create it is the highest form of intelligence as above, so below
Hudson Green
Love isn't the electricity. It's the circuit.
Brayden Morris
>Why isn't there idk... Nothing at all? even though lack of existence is impossible to imagine. because eternity exists beyond time and space, you are right... nothing is impossible. potential, realised. triangles could exist, so they did. clouds could exist, so they did. because it could, and it did. maybe consciousness is the ultimate answer...
Julian Evans
Reason is something that intelligent minds use to make decisions. There is no reason to think that there is an ultimate reason behind the universe, since intelligence and reason are a product of the universe, not the other way around.
Levi Diaz
>love is only [...] I have to disagree. Historically I've had the same hardcore reductionist, nihilistic perspective, but now in my mid twenties I'm beginning to realize that it's a myopic and incomplete picture. I mean think about it, it has to be false. Constructivism is just reductionism that implicitly locks to a given scale as far as I'm concerned, but likewise you cannot allow yourself to forget that when reasoning else you come to foolish conclusions.
In the most general case, things cannot just magically display certain behaviors nor can they magically be drawn to each other. They require a means. A given machine must have a certain manner of operation, and a certain range of states and patterns of energy transfer to be able to identify another system and either be consistently drawn to it, couple and synchronize with it to a degree, and take care of it with particular interest. An object requires a means to do this, and the range of ways to solve the problem is not large and is certainly not infinite.
Therefore, you can say there's such a thing as "love energy". And so forth.

Yeah, and that was explained in the portion you cut out of the quote. >"Love" is only the electricity in our brain that gives us the urge to reproduce. You can look through other forms of life, best examples in other animals, to see similar and different solutions to this problem. There are animals that mate for life. Animals that exhibit similar behaviors to humans if their mate dies or leaves them. But also animals that don't form long term relationships, that don't have relationships beyond the act of courtship and mating. All these animals have been successful, so it is clear there is nothing magical about our case. It's not unique. It's not perfect. It's just part of the evolutionary path our predecessors traveled on.
Chase Butler
I think it wasn't really understood what I'm saying. I'm talking about low level, mechanical means for a given system to display a certain core range of behaviors. Yes, "love" has a number of manifestations and ways it will play out long term, but I'm speaking specifically of how you get "logic" such that a machine will perform certain behaviors within a sufficiently broad range of contexts.
We can also expand this to the macro. Objects that will be keyed to selectively read aspects of another object's state and amplify it as necessary. Example, the US and Russia during the cold war. A single set of bulbs emitting light would be in an instant transduced, amplified in multiple stages and through multiple different pathways, possibly ending in the launch of multiple warheads. A massive amplification of a very minute signal, and rapid state change throughout a system. How do you get a machine that so specifically watches and responds to another specific system? There aren't many solutions. You can't just do it. It needs a means. The US and Russia were coupled at that time with similar mechanisms.
Nah, it's real interesting and this kind of "energy" is present at all scales and at all levels of organization. You could have a bag of magnets that display love energy.
Jeremiah Ross
The answer to your question is evolution and the mechanism is hormones.
>You could have a bag of magnets that display love energy. I'd like to see you try.
Asher Thompson
Yet if you abstract to the most general case and watch the pattern of state changes, type of organization, or pattern of energy transfer, you'll likely see similar trends across many kinds of systems. From animals with FAPs, to man, to computers.
>I'd like to see you try. So would I.
Landon Adams
Well, yeah. Macro is driven by micro. Again, that doesn't make love unique in any way.
Bentley Martin
We exist so god can exist. God exists so we can exist. Bada bing bada bong the loop of meaning has been solved

Jacob Butler
My views match yours, OP. Normies can't accept that though. They think they "exist for a reason", "have a mission in life", "are made to do great things".
My view is I'm just gonna complete this life and try to have fun, then return to my home, the void. Then maybe get born again as a new being on some other space rock. Hopefully a better one than Earth. I'll repeat that process until nothing exists. Yeah, I think that's a solid plan.
