My name is Greg. I live in the Long Beach/Westminster area of Southern California. I enjoy dance music, going to the beach, working out, talking with friends, etc etc. I enjoy thinking about philosophy and computer systems - I am a computer science major. I believe learning computer systems can teach us a lot about ourselves and our thoughts and actions. I believe in destiny, that free will as merely an illusion, that karma exists in many forms, and that nothing can occur without the presence of a cause. I like deep-thinking.
Imagine a world where all humans sudddenly disappear from the face of the planet. Now imagine you are the only one alive, a ghost in a world that once existed, but now will spend millenia forfeiting its man-maintained upkeep to the power of nature. And as you wander aimlessly through the streets of cities, entering convenience stores for food and water and pissing and shitting wherever you feel like it, you see buildings built by man. The lights are still changing colors, going from green to yellow to red, then back to green again. The plants are held captive against a will we barely understand exists, only to please the captive human eye with something he has been taught is beautiful. There are cars, but none are moving. Some have gone astray and crashed into buildings, poles, and other various man-made objects. Billboards line the streets for Crest toothpaste, Cingular cell phones, and Hanes brand products. As said in my headline, at least what had existed as of 3:14am on September 5th, 2007, "Nothing matters in life, but since we have time, we may as well pretend something matters, and some people hold that something so deeply inside that they forget who they are." What we call progression is merely an illusion. What we call evil is really just an illusion. What we call life is merely just an illusion.
I came across this video while studying for a Biology exam and I couldn't help post it somewhere. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen. ...and what's even crazier is that now I understand what's happening. Check it out for yourself (you can skip the boring man at the beginning) .Protein Synthesis in the 1970's:
