Because if you wait long enough nothing will always have become something.

Why? Because you are assuming there is intention somewhere. An intention like that you think you have. You know very little about what you have. Pick one of the conscious threads here.
Humans are hugely anthropocentric. We feel we are the only important animal and everything is modeled on us. Someone who looks just like us is ruling everything that happens on trillions of planets. Some of them moving away from us so fast light can't even reach them.

I do like your no logo logo-point. It's a great logo and you're arguing well... you, the self-employed ^^^
By the way: the zen guys could argue that there's nothing, and not something...

You assume that I assume. You know very little of what I assume. I assume little. The concoius threads here assume more than I care to assume.

BLUEBLOCR,
Yes I agree with you to a point if you can "effect" the situation in a positive way. I found myself in many circumstance that the other person has made up their mind, are beyond working out solutions. Instead they are in a hate/anger fest and... I'm just over it. If they want to live there fine... I will not join them. I rather just take myself out of the situation and be useful somewhere else. I would love to be in a good place with all the people around me yet... I also know that's not an agenda that everyone shares/needs/ lives by. Instead it's about ego and I will not be part of that.
As for fighting it out, only if both parties can fight fairly. I fight with my spouse and it's never bad because... We fight with a great respect towards each other. It usually ends up with a few giggles and a good solution.
:) AFS

I've got to cool myself down stompin' around
Thinkin' some words I can't name ya
Meet ya halfway got nothin' to say
Still I don't s'pose I can blame ya
Seems to me you don't wanna talk about it
Seems to me you just turn your pretty head
Walk Away
Or, just turn your pretty head and float on up into the sky, assuming that you CAN.
WINNEVEGAS, FOR THE LUCK OF IT!

We are the clay, and You our potter;
And all of us are the work of Your hand.

But why? lol.
Wayne:
I'll amplify.
If I had said " The Heisenberg uncertainty principle permits violation of energy conservation as long as that violation exists for such a short time that the violation can't be measured." (This is an answer to the question "HOW is it that this is so." That's the way nature is. (If you would like to know more, google "Planck Time.")
I did not say that because you would have immediately come back with, "Why is nature this way?"
Why is the wrong word because lurking in that word is the anthropological bias that some sort of intention is in control. There is no data to suggest intention. It is a bias.
There is no why. There is a how. Some of the Hows we know. Some are theories yet to be affirmed. And others we have not yet a clue.
That is how it is right now. There is no why.

..I believe that "God" has been made by humans.
I believe Yoda and E.T. have been made by very intelligent humans.
I am still hoping for a flying carpet.

No, John, you are right. You quoted the lol but I think you missed it. I was being facetious and I apologize. I never took this thread seriously and I can't always help it if somebody misunderstands. You obviously have a deeper understanding of such things and I have tried, but I do not have the patience to digest the acumen that abounds on those threads that you mentioned.
