(This is chat/conversation between author and SA about the mentioned topics)
OH: Is there anything that makes humans special or making humans “humans” as we think?
OH: I mean it is easy to say that we are just an animal. But, what if the question is more deep
SA: elaborate
OH: I mean, how can we say something human if machines are as advanced as humans. What makes us special apart from our functions?
SA: Nothing
SA: We are just a set of algorithms to deal with certain situations
OH: The whole world simply breaks down into a lie then
SA: Of course that is an opinion
OH: Yeah, but existence itself seems to be a lie. Everything is just random stories
SA: Whats the lie here
OH: Humanity and existence of anyone
OH: What makes it different from something which is not existing?
SA: I couldn’t quite get what u are pointing out
OH: I mean what makes us different from a non existing thing?
SA: Okay boss
SA: So, what was the last point that we had talked?
SA: There is nothing as existing and non existing, right?
SA: We would never know right?
OH: Yeah, that is the problem
SA: Here is the thing… you can argue this is a dream, a simulation or even a dream of a pink and blue dragon while she hangs on her tail sleeping
SA: It makes no difference
OH: That’s why quest about existence is hard, right?
SA: The real question I feel is, does it matter?
OH: No, it doesn’t. But, still it’s significant
SA: It is interesting agreed.. how is it significant?
OH I mean what is the thing in building something when we are doubtful about its existence?
SA: Because it’s fun
SA: Simply put, does biriyani make u happy?
OH: Yeah, it would make anyone happy as it is a tasty food
OH: So, you mean we are living as we are happy to do so?
SA: Ya… happiness is the only thing that actually matters
SA: And be careful to not mix it up with pleasure
OH: Agree with that.
OH: 😅
OH: Of course, but, what gives this happiness? What is it’s cause. It sounds like hapiness isn’t caused by anything, but it in fact us the sole cause
OH: Right?
SA: It’s caused by accepting truths and living in the present.. that’s more a spiritual question
SA: Scintifically, dopamine
OH: That’s pleasure, right?
OH: Living in present is more about being productive, right? And it in turn is connected to happiness
OH: That is someone who is more productive would be more happy
SA: Not really… that is just evolution
OH: Again thinking is for the sake of thinking. Like what said by Oscar Wilde about arts
OH: Yeah, biologically.
OH: That is something can’t question it’s own existence?
OH: It seems to be a complicated thing.
SA: We can always question our existence
OH: But, there would be no answer. I mean it would be a question that we would never get an answer.
SA: Ya
SA: Exactly why I asked u does it matter
OH: But, it is the beauty of thinking, or if we could say beauty of philosophy. It doesn’t guarantee answer. But, it’s for the sake of having fun
OH: But, this time it’s actually annoying
SA: Hi hi hi.. chill man.. that paradox is the answer
OH: Yeah, that paradox is exactly the answer for this
