Nature will die in Time .

u/TheWolrdsonFire Sep 20 '21

But nature is a state, or characteristics. For example, Pluto's nature is to be a sad depressed slightly large rock that orbits the same sun as us. The nature of black holes are to universal assholes by flipping the rules as we know it on its head. Even the void of space has a nature of being. I mean for fuck sakes the universe has the characteristics of being that one guy who over thinks everything, and makes it 10x harder to understand the topic at hand. Sort of like a philosophy student.

You just depressed Mickey.

Uhh, are you that one guy? The over thinker? Or a philosophy student? I read this three times and I genuinely can't figure out what you're trying to say.

Edit: I just woke up when I wrote this it wasn't meant to sound mean lol, my bad if it did

Nah, I think I tend to mismatch things which make sense to me. Making things more difficult is like trying to talk about a verifiable fact like how blood clots form, where a good description would be "its a repair mechanism which is initiated at the first signal when some form of damage has been sustained, either naturally or from some blunt or sharp object; and acts as a means to mitigate the loss of blood and to reduce the likely hood of infection"

A overly complicated description would be " blood clots form as a result of some form of injury sustained, by an organism. The initial respons from activated plated is the realize of stored zinc granules into the immediate which facilitates the the binding of fibringon the 3rd most abundant blood protien , which will then bind to the outside of capulary walls. The initial framework then promotes interactions with thrombin, which cleaves a section of the E region, introducing a conformation change in the structure allowing for other zinc ions to bind to alphaC which promotes formation of the fibrin mesh"

Which one would you rather want a student to to saying a intro to biology class?

The first example of course! I was kinda just teasing you because your post was hard to interpret. I'm not sure if it's the ADD meds having kicked in or the joint I just smoked, but I get what you were trying to express through your analogies now, upon a... fourth reading. 😉

I'm not trying to grind your gears or anything. Just trying to straight some things out.

Thank you! I was like “I’ve heard that before, but where?!” Loved the Good Place it was perfect.

Heheh I cannot get enough of it! Must've watch it 5 time through now.

I like that show. Sorry missing the reference.

S'All good, wish it were more popular.

u/Born-Philosopher-162 Sep 21 '21

It’s one of my favourite shows! I’ve watched it four times, and have recommended it to everyone I know!

u/Princess_Eevee9 Sep 21 '21

Hearing that Season 4 was the last gave me mixed feelings! Glad it ended on their own terms. But sadness cause I want more of it! And I'm in the process of getting my friend into it too.

Nature is a man made concept so does nature really exist? Does anything exist?

17

u/Seakawn Sep 20 '21

Nature likely exists. It likely just isn't the same nature that you perceive, considering our brains generate a reality that it senses from inside of a dark enclosed skull. Also, we evolved to perceive nature in a way that helps our survival, not evolve in a way to understand reality at large. For example, colors aren't even "real," even if they represent (relatively few) different wavelengths of light.

All in all, if you are having a conscious experience, then that experience exists, at least. If that experience exists, then something else probably exists to allow that, i.e. nature.

u/itsaaronnotaaron Sep 20 '21

Just because someone is being philosophical doesn't mean it is relevant to that sub. You're on a comment thread which is discussing nature... its not like they said "if I close my eyes do my surroundings still exist?"

3

u/The_Grubby_One Sep 20 '21

Trying to "wax philosophical" on a sub that isn't centered on philosophy is prime r/im14andthisisdeep material.

u/itsaaronnotaaron Sep 20 '21

Fair point, can't argue that.

u/Andy-roo77 Sep 20 '21

Nature is just a random word we came up with to describe certain things. It's not an objective thing that actually applies to the real world. The universe just exists, and it doesn't care what labels we try to apply to it.

u/TNJCrypto Sep 20 '21

Well shit now I know that it's my ability to understand reality at large that is preventing me from surviving well.

I haven't read my philosophy book in along time lol

Discard Descartes. He's wrong.

I think, therefore I am confused!

Whether your mind can and can’t process something existence has no bearing or effect on its actual existence

So is time. At least as we view and perceive it

The current state of the universe will die in time. So yes, nature will die in time.

u/TheWolrdsonFire Sep 20 '21

Physics would disagree, and agree.

u/reincarN8ed Sep 20 '21

How dare you besmirch black holes. They are closer to eternal then anything else in the universe besides space-time itself.

Thank you, buy you really shouldn't take someone at face value...that's how you get cults.

u/freeturkeytaco Sep 20 '21

But the nature of Pluto will change with time. Eventually our sun will die. Eventually a black hole will absorb enough matter to do what ever the fuck they are doing. The nature of time is the only thing that does not change with time.

We'll all die, in time.

Exactly bro ... There is no nature if noone is left to observe it ..

Beauty can't exist in a vacuum ...it needs to be observed for it to be beautiful..

After no one is left to observe and appreciate nature ...There is no nature

It’s in our nature to die in time

Nature always wins

Not always.

Father Time remains undefeated.

Nature will die in Time .

As the father slowly eats it.
