tore, you make a great point...and points for writing that while intoxicated. it was fairly clear (at least...i hope i got your point).

i think the problem i've noticed with people who are really into philosophy is the same problem strict scientists have. i've posted about my belief that scientists should be open to extreme possibilities...well, the same goes for philosophers. you will not find the definite answer. confusion is EXACTLY what you should feel....and your ideas about the universe and existence should ideally change everyday. true wisdom comes from approaching life in a non-confrontational manner. we all try to control the lives around us, and no answers come from that. how arrogant we are to think it could work that way. we are at the mercy of the universe and to learn from it requires that we accept it is bigger than we ever will be.

on another point, you bring up another great topic, tore. being a geneticist and quite a spiritual person, i have thought a lot about what it means to exist simply through passing on DNA. we are all tied to everyone who ever existed...there are genes floating around in my cells that great leaders may have once possessed. they are also tied to everyone who will exist in the future. it is the most basic and obvious way to think of how we are all connected.

i'm not sure if i addressed anything relevant to the discussion you guys were having as i just skimmed over it quickly, but i had to put my two cents in.
