FIrst, let me just start with:
HOLY FUCKING SHIT, Dark Messiah, you're still around? And the rolling panda icon! And the Ovid quote that kept me alive through childhood! *SQUEEEE!* All things change, nothing perishes... too true... *rolls around frothing with glee for a bit, and then gets up, straightens tie, combs back hair, clears throt and continues*
Unlike SIc, I'm just going to babble pseudo-intellectually on the concept of "infinity", instead of concentrating on infinite time or space or whatnot. I figure that infinity transcends human understanding, insofar as we can get the details of it. It's like perfection. People can justify perfection exists because one is confronted with varying degrees of imperfection all the time, so somewhere, there must be perfection. Similarly, the same argument can be taken to "infinity", or the observation that things die, change, and to varying degrees are impermanent, so somewhere, there MUST be something eternal or infinite. I could be confusing infinity with eternity, but generally, I think they all come from the same greek word apeiron which generally is translated as "unlimited".
SO WHAT THE FUCK AM I TALKING ABOUT!? *runs around with arms flailing* How can something have no limits, temporally and spatially, because it seems humans can only measure things around them by fitting them in the boxes of TIME and SPACE... but the very idea that we "measure" things, is what prevents us with a complete mental comprehension of that which is unlimited. It's been argued through the ages that we have to be like fucking God/Prime Mover/Sophia, some Divine Mind that transcends space and time to grasp the infinite.
Since I am just a puny, puny mortal hungover and giving the big Fuck You to Latin class so very early in the morning, on this freezing Groundhog Day, I don't think it's within my capabilities to pontificate anymore on this crazy subject... OR IS IT?
Dun dun dun!!! Dufresne: "I'm a pacifist."
Caboose: "You're a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "No dude, that's a pedophile." |
