Amputated Imagination

Not a day goes by when I try to purify my mind of the criticisms I get from the shallow minded. All the "oh you can't know for sure"-s and "what does it gain you"-s (sorry I can't type any more of those, they make me want to cry)

I love complex abstract thinking more than anything. Sometimes, I can just sit in a chair with my eyes closed and a big smile on my face thinking about the kind of stuff that would send a normal person into an existentialist crisis. My personal favorite are those which are difficult to put into words.

Here's a thought experiment for you I've been working on: imagine a universe with no conscious beings inside of it to observe it. Does it exist? Now one with different laws of physics. Or hey, different laws of logic. Is that even possible? Are the laws of physics just logical consequences of some universal axiom upon which the universe is founded? Could other universes have different fundamental axioms? Do they exist? Can they exist without us imagining them? What if every possible universe exists? But who's to say what's possible and impossible? The laws of this universe? How are we to know if they're universal? But what does it mean to EXIST? How should we define the existence of things outside of the universe, often seen as everything there is?

I just started somewhere and just let my mind run rampant after that, typing whatever came to mind, which is why it dotted all over the place randomly. Pick up from here, and don't stop until you're exhausted.
