The idea that consciousness would just randomly emerge is absurd, this has become exceptionally clear with the field of ai where it can’t even tie shoe laces no matter how much training and experience you give it. There are only two logical explanations for its emergence

1. Unironically gifted by God

2. Every atom and particle in the universe actually has some sort of consciousness to it.

It can be one or the other or both, but it’s literally too statistically miraculous to be explained through some purely random darwinian natural selection.

can't stop stressing about how something came from nothing

I don't believe in God, but I'm existential about how something had to have come from nothing for this universe to exist and it freaks me out. I frequently get kept up at night by these thoughts. Any good theories to make existential dread disappear? Please don't say God, even if God existed that wouldn't make sense either since God would've had to have come from nothing instead.

Scientists are cowards

I just watched pic related and then read the article the movie came from, and realized that the ones in the wrong here were... Dupont technicians, people educated enough to know or even research the issues with the chemicals they worked with. They didn't care that other people (even their colleages, family, ...), were dying from the effects of harmful chemicals...
Those responsible were not only chemists, but probably doctors as well. Why were those people such cowards? Was it the money? What makes people become cowards?

I finished reading this book and I am depressed.

All technology and science are going to destroy us. The book says that technological advances made possible the rise of transsexualism. so in the future people will turn to all kinds of body modification. Men-cats, men-women-chairs and anyone who does not accept these changes will be persecuted and eliminated by the government. Is there a way to stop scientific progress or is there no turning back?
