DTH, AFTERLF AND FUTR DOOM

////////////////// future of humanity gives us purpose similar to that of what parents experience by having children


/////////////////........our apocalypse will start between now and 3-5 billion CE. The universe apocalypse, 100 trillion years



///////////////.........Finally an end to millions of years of insurmountable and gratuitous suffering across all life forms.

Why does your value and fulfillment rely on the forcing of new humans into existence?

“Wretched, ephemeral race, children of chance and tribulation, why do you force me to tell you the very thing which it would be most profitable for you not to hear? The very best thing is utterly beyond your reach: not to have been born, not to be, to be nothing. However, the second best thing for you is: to die soon.” - Aristotle




/////////////////////// for a sentient being to conceptualize non existence is something many of us are not capable of. This in the face of the fact we all experience it during a good night's sleep.




//////////////////////////How can we experience nonexistence on such occasions unless we exist? This seems to be more or less Descartes's point in the cogito argument.



/////////////////////////If you don't believe 'time' has a physical effect, take a look at your body at 70, etc.
It would be nice to see some people from the past again to tell them how much you've learned over 'time'.




/////////////////////Given that 96% of all species to have lived on planet earth are extinct, I'm not sure how much longer our luck will hold out. A nasty incurable disease? Or perhaps a change in climate? Enjoy life while you can!



////////////////////........."Childhood's End" by Arthur C. Clarke where the children evolve into higher beings that leave Earth behind to the adults that can no longer have children. Some of the sporting activities that occur on Earth after the event "resemble minor wars".



//////////////////////////ULTIMATELY MCLWP



//////////////////////////BT=According to new scientific calculations, planet Earth will be able to sustain life for another 1.75 billion years, after which point the surface will become too hot to support liquid water. Scientists define a star's ability to support the existence of liquid water on orbiting planets as its habitable zone. "The inner edge of the Sun’s habitable zone is moving outwards at a rate of about 1 metre per year. The latest model predicts a total habitable zone lifetime for Earth of 6.3 billion–7.8 billion years, suggesting that life on the planet is already about 70% of the way through its run."



///////////////////////////BT=The calculations suggest that Earth began well-within the Sun's habitable zone, and for this reason, our planet may be a relatively mean host to life. Planets that begin on the outer edges of a star's habitable zone may be able to host life for 42 billion years or longer. As usual, astronomers' eyes turn toward Mars. Just as the sun brightens and the Earth becomes too hot for life, Mars will be entering the habitable zone. Study co-author Mark Claire, an astronomer at the University of St Andrews, UK, said: "If humans are going to be around in a billion years, I would certainly imagine that they would be living on Mars."



////////////////////////BRAIN=How does 25 million bytes of design information create this entity with hundreds of trillions of connections?" asks Ray Kurzweil. The answer is through redundancy.



///////////////////////////what creates my thoughts, what gets me thinking?

The diverse stimulus, the input from out senses.



/////////////////////////KONNIKOVA=Though the concept originates in ancient Buddhist, Hindu and Chinese traditions, when it comes to experimental psychology, mindfulness is less about spirituality and more about concentration: the ability to quiet your mind, focus your attention on the present, and dismiss any distractions that come your way. The formulation dates from the work of the psychologist Ellen Langer, who demonstrated in the 1970s that mindful thought could lead to improvements on measures of cognitive function and even vital functions in older adults.

Now we’re learning that the benefits may reach further still, and be more attainable, than Professor Langer could have then imagined. Even in small doses, mindfulness can effect impressive changes in how we feel and think — and it does so at a basic neural level.
