Waiting for Visual Studio
-
It is 10:51 am. I'm waiting for Visual Studio to install an upgrade so I got up to look out the window. Below there are couple of crap-apple trees in full blossom. The little white flower petals and leaves are vibrating against the wind. As each wind gust push against the tree, it sheds more of the petals and they fall to the pavement like snowflakes blanketing the road below. As the wind blow on them, they create several small whirlwind and as the cars drove by causing them to spawn several more. I think to myself, everything works as they are without any consciousness acting on them because evolution programmed them that way long ago and evolution still programming them tirelessly, days after days, years after years and millennia after millennia . Nature is perfect in every way that we are trying to copy from, but it is not yet finished with what it is trying to do. But it is doing for the mere of just keep doing, no purpose, no reward, no glory and most of all no conscious and yet it does it so well. As I watched the cycle each year, it expenses so much energy to produce millions little petals only to shed them all off in only couple of days later. It is putting all this effort in the hope of just a chance of producing a single offspring. It will be all worth it for a chance to have its genetic carried over to the next generation. I wondered to myself as all life have the same purpose. As we go our through life walking zombie every day not realized what our purpose really is. Perhaps there is no purpose at all. Perhaps that is what the universe is all about; it is made from nothing and so it will ends with nothingness. And all things happen in between have no meaning, except that we live for the sake of living and we care for the current existence.

I thought this was going to be a joke[*], and was waiting for you to come full circle and mention something about a broken VS upgrade. Still waiting for the punch line however. [*] Like that Dear Abby one about the guy who found out his girlfriend was cheating on him, so he went back to his car to drive away, but it refused to start...then the answer turned all car-guy mode, checking the battery cables, the ignition, the starter...

Is that something like a crab apple[^], but worse? Or are they just not very good trees? :laugh:

It's an interesting question. You could take what I think could be the next stage. What is even this purpose thing? When and how did purpose and meaning became a thing? What is the purpose of having a purpose? What is the purpose of a rock? How does the rock go about it?
