Choice (Free will. Or free will?)

Look around you. What are you doing? Where are you? Right now at this very second, you are where you are, doing what you are doing. But Why?

Why are you where you are? Why are you doing what you are doing? Why are you not doing something else, somewhere else?

It's because you have chosen not to. You could be in France. You could be in Berlin. You could be on the dark side of the moon smoking a strawberry flavoured pipe with a dog and a talking Christmas tree.

When you think about it like that, it seems to be that you don't have the choice to be doing anything anywhere. Free will. Free will is for us. Free will gives us the choice.

Then why am I here? Why am I not smoking a strawberry flavoured pipe on the dark side of the moon with a dog and a talking Christmas tree? Because it's not an option.

Free will is only extended so far. Unfortunately, not to the dark side of the moon.

I have the free will to do anything. Maybe that should have a question mark after it. Who knows? that definitely has a question mark. Or does it? Free will says that I should be able to leave out the question mark, but i would be in trouble if I did.

Oh who knows indeed. I changes it, no question mark, it's a statement now, so nur nur.

Back to the point. What's the point? I get to choose the point, because I have free will, but the point can't be that I like bananas. So what is free will really? The concept of it is ludicrous in itself. If we are 'given' free will, why aren't we actually given the choice of it all.

Ah choice, i choose red skittles over those nasty green ones, but I can't choose a blue skittle, because there aren't blue ones, maybe they should make a blue skittle, what would that taste like?

Off topic again? Now i want a question mark. I'm asking you, even though I know I am.

Ok, so down to the point of the whole thing, I wish I had the choice of being able to do anything anywhere. Don't you?

Idea Revolution

Ok, I said that we all need to learn to distinguish between the good ideas and the bad. I have come up with an idea, but who knows if its good or if it is bad. I can say that it is similar to another idea that has been created years ago, and that was a VERY VERY good idea indeed.

Now the first thing we need to establish is, is this idea anywhere near as good, or is it just bad, like most others. For the sake off argument, I'm going to say yes, it is possibly as good, depending on how it is handled.

So whats next, we need to find the right people, these people need to be intelligent in their field, know what they are doing, have some real world applications of their knowledge, and in some cases, have money spare.

Where am i going to find them? Good thing I go to a University, as this seems to be the a good place to find people who are sufficiently up to speed upcoming in their fields, i hope. Will probably be best to have final year people, though it is coming agonisingly close to essay deadlines and exam times, but hey, you want to succeed in life, you have to take some risks.

Time to get started!!

On a side not, good things don't come to those who wait, that is just what the non-waiting people say, to make you start the race 20 minutes later than them.

Ideas

Every journey starts with a good idea, but what separates a good idea from all the others? With that, what gives us the ability to distinguish between a good idea and just an idea? When Einstein came up with his cosmological constant, it was a good idea to him. In later years he realized that he had made a terrible mistake, and his idea was the worst thing he had ever thought of. He distinguished his idea from a good one.

As it turned out, his idea was of monumental importance to modern physics, though he did not live to see this come into fruition. That was unlucky for him, but this could happen to any of us, it has happened to so many people. Those who are thought to be ‘before their time’. Whoever thought of flying cars is a genius. Many say that the idea of a car that flies is a joke, that it will never happen and is impossible. This idea has been around for decades, so yet another person may not be around to see their idea flourish.

Google is another example of a great idea. Search and find. Thats all it takes for Google, you ask for something in particular, from millions of things, and they will find it for you. That is like asking for someone to find the yellowest piece of straw in a pile of millions of bits of straw (excuse the bad use of the English Language in the example). The only difference is a simple computer algorithm can do that for you, they just did it the best. Ask Jeeves did the same thing, but no-one says “go and Ask Jeeves” as the reply to a sentence, they say “google it”, because google is a high ranked market leader of an idea that has made someone millions. How can something so simple have provided such an income for people?

The reason this is possible, is because everybody wins. The companies that advertise their websites get hits to the site, for very little money. The people who “google” websites have a free, quick way of finding what they need. The owners of Google sit back and rake in the money, because millions of pennies a day still makes a hell of a lot of money.

On a more personal note, I have no ideas. It is quite easy to say that a lack of an idea makes for a bad idea, that is easily distinguishable from a good idea. Maybe some of us are not wired in the same way as others, some do not have the artistic flair needed to come up with an monumental idea, that can change the face of the world as we know it. But who is to say you are not on of those with that flair, your idea could not only make you millions, but could change the world entirely.

So get thinking people, and who knows, you could change everything. 

Chaos Theory

A man said to me "if God is looking down on the world right now, the only logical inference is that he is crying". I find this complicated in many ways and levels.

Firstly, if there is a God, does he cry? He supposedly modelled us on himself, so you would guess he can.

Secondly, he is supposed to have a plan for us all, so why would he cry, is this not part of the plan?

Now I would like to move onto the if there is no God side of this. I figure if there isn't, there would still be so many people from the past who would be balling their eyes out if they could see us now. Albert Einstein came up with the brilliance that is E=mc^2, and that led to the discovery of the atom bomb. If he knew what would have become of Hiroshima and such, he would probably have spent the rest of his life to invent time travel to try and erase his discovery.

But then we think that every small thing that we do has a huge effect on the unfolding future. This is known 'Chaos Theory', small differences in the initial conditions provides widely different outcomes in the chaos that ensues.

What can we do about this chaos. Sweet F A. We can't do a damn thing about it, and I guess that is beautiful in some ways, no matter how small and insignificant we feel in ourselves, we can impact the future in ways we could never imagine.

For example, Winston Churchill's Great Great Great Great Grandparents decided to have a child, how could they have know that he would be an instrumental part in winning one of the largest Wars of all time.

Of course, Chaos Theory, in all of it's infinite glory is the most uncontrollable thing that has existed, it has lead to the existence we are in to be the way it is, and not us all being purple elephants.

Which leads me to the point of this, chaos sucks. People suck. Instead of being nice and jolly, people are cold calculating conniving heartless b****es, who have no thoughts to the repercussion of their actions, and when they realise these repercussions, don't give a crap.

But on the positive side, the early chaos could have led to us all being sentient dung beetles.
