The Philosophy Forums at OnlinePhilosophyClub.com aim to be an oasis of intelligent in-depth civil debate and discussion. Topics discussed extend far beyond philosophy and philosophers. What makes us a philosophy forum is more about our approach to the discussions than what subject is being debated. Common topics include but are absolutely not limited to neuroscience, psychology, sociology, cosmology, religion, political theory, ethics, and so much more.
This is a humans-only philosophy club. We strictly prohibit bots and AIs from joining.

I suppose that can be considered a unique accomplishment.Ho hum. The important atomic bomb radioactivity has half-lives in the tens of thousands of years or less whereas the impact of the oxygenation of the atmosphere has dominated the environment for at least 500 million years.

That no matter how great you are at something you will never be truly important, and that's when you are good at something, because most of the time you are just average. So why should we live if our existence has no importance, if it is not going to make any difference in the world? No big changes, you are just one more person like many others.We exist to defeat the lie.

those who promote the good will erase the evil.
As fullness casts out appetite,
as clothes cover the nude and
as heaven clears up after a storm

It seems most likely that how and when and where ask reasonable questions but why is a demon.Why is asking for the reason or purpose. It's the same question as" What is the purpose in life?"
