[quote:Anonymous Coward 45107896:MV8yNjg2NTg2XzQ3MTgzMjAxXzdGMzcwOUYy] Because reality cannot be anything other than tautological. That means a 1:1 relation to itself. What exists = What exists. What exists changes. This is called time. What existed, changed, into what exists now. What you are, is part of that which exists. What you are, was forced to exist. Your parents had sex. The sexual material coupled and computed in such away, along with the exact intakes of material sustenance, to build your body. And then more time happened, and more time happened. And reality still equals reality, as it always has an always will. [/quote]

I exist in this world (whatever the world may be). I am something. From my perspective, this is a solid fact; the only fact I know for certain.
I do not know what came before, I just know 'now'.
I am baffled by this every day.
If this is the only existence, then why is it the way it is? Why is my existence not more basic?
I popped up in this world with other strange fleshy creatures that use strange machines and seem to have strange practices. The practices are very brutal. All the fleshy creatures here seem to be so fragile and subject to great pain. They seem to require the life of other organisms to fuel their bodies.
Why is it this way? Can it not have been any other way? Brutal and beautiful and complex.
I am the only constant and this is all i know. What the fuck?
