Small prpblem in the PP title...
"A philosopher is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there. A theologian is the man who finds it." ~ H. L. Mencken

"We ain't a sharp species. We kill each other over arguments about what happens when you die, then fail to see the fucking irony in that."

"It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favor of vegetarianism while the wolf remains of a different opinion."

There is nothing. That there is something is just a figment of our imaginations, which aren't really anything but dreams.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

It's all to do with the pregnant potential of thevoid, there was a science program here about it last month
by Professor Jim Al-Khalili (Theorethical Physicist)

unfortunately all vids of it have been aggressively taken down by the bbc, it's part 2 'nothing' that probly interests most.

Well, that's not npthing, so it must be somehing.
