    The desire for entertainment in some is as necessary a something to do as aquiring food.

    Wouldn't it be nifty if you lived in a state of existence where there was no energy expended in order to obtain entertainment?

    It'll be like living on a seemingly stable yet never quite rock solid floating village. One could argue that though cutting down our 'chores' of life is good. We should use the energy we'd have left to concentrate on other things. To evolve as such.

    Though with humans being the volatile dastards they are, might lead to new off-shoots of conflict, pestilence and death. Hmmm...
    I'm too secure to have a signature.

    Oh.

    Your version of thermodynamics is off. Energy is not lost in a collision, a portion of it merely defuses out of the system of the initial reaction, just makingthe placement of it more random.

    Aside from that, I think you have some good points, but incorrect interpurtation. In doing things that require logic and planing (like science and the making of technology), we do make things easier for us. However, to say that making things easier to us is an end in and of itself is headenistic(sp) and illogical because it only concerns us drainingfrom the rest of the universe (which can't be, since nothing, be it matter, or energy, can be simply destroyed in the universe). What we are doing, however, is making the universe more effiecient. By making machines and such, we reduce the ammount of energy that is lost in a system of a reaction, thus reducing the randomness of its dispursion and reducing entropy. This way we provide order to the universe by reducing the randomness of it.

    We are the only beings in the universe with this capacity, so I can infer that it is our purpose in the universe to utalize this capacity through thought, logic, and our actions, to attempt to order the universe.

    Thus, it would be in your best intereset to clean up that mess, because it would be fulfilling your purpose as a rationa being.

    Hope that helps.

    That was the stupidest, fucking psuedo-philosophy I've ever heard.

    I hope you live by it and end up a fat, disgusting, paraplegic.

    Was it supposed to be interesting or innovative?

    People have been doing what you're talking about for millenia, it's called be a lazy ass fucktard. You're lucky we live in such a day and age that you coud get away with it, 1,000 years ago you'd have been dead and evolution would have moved on for the better.

    I'd rather be a lazy ass fucktard then be a thick-headed illiterate.

    I apologize.

    You're only half literate.

    Seeing as how you can't seem to read.

    You didn't read the part where I said, "It's not about simply doing nothing at all whatsoever. It's about creating and forming and molding the situation to where you don't HAVE to do anything at all whatsoever."

    Fair enough. It was my first day and I'm a dick, I didn't even read through all of it.

    You win.

    I understand what you're getting at here. A lot of budhist hermits do this already. They only do what they need to do in order to survive, and spend the rest of the time worshiping. You seem to want to live like this though only because it'll make your life easier if you don't have to clear up after yourself. Best bet would be to go to the mountains. That way, when your cave got messy, you could move on and just find a new one. Hey Presto, you've created a situation where you don't need to expend energy on anything but the basics.
    I'm surprised they didn't delete me ages ago...
