Sorry, but Tahnan didn't exactly say anything after our discussion. I figure he either forgot or lost interest entirely.
I have to admire your ability to continue to find new and exciting ways to lower my estimation of you. I posted my question
less than 24 hours ago. And I couldn't even begin to comprehend (a) the way in which this thread had been derailed, or (b) what "
binary speaking"
was supposed to mean.
In any case, BeefontheBone's answer is a non-answer; it explains only why things exist given that humanity exists, but that takes our existence
a priori. Elfstone, I fear, may be right, but too darned pessimistic.
My favorite answer is still that of
Sidney Morgenbesser, Jewish philosopher: "
Even if there were nothing, you’d still be complaining!"
Rabscuttle came decently close, so I'll grant him the points.
