Flowy motions

Why are all these animals on this earth and all these people who are posing probing questions like these and the plants and the trees and all the living systems at all size scales from cells to organisms to superorganisms and beyond and the worlds revolving around the sun operating according to a set of laws that supposedly no one devised makes me wonder how it is they're even there at all and if someone did create it all then it only pushes back the problem without solving it because then what created the creator if you say nothing then you might as well have said that about the universe in the first place and skipped the need for a god at all but what about the idea that we are in a sense all god or in other words that everything is part of a whole does this really have any meaning to it or does it just sound nice what does it mean for something to be individual anyway isn't it just as valid to look at the entire volume of space as being a continuum a vast three dimensional array of on-bits and null-bits that creates interesting patterns but gives none of those patterns the right to call themselves individual after all there are fuzzy boundaries between self and other and between life and nonlife and we don't even know how to define what being alive means in any fundamental sense anyway it's all just theoretical postulating and posturing and such searches for truth from within the system seems to me akin to juggling on a moving train or trying to write down everything you've ever done including what you're writing right now in other words it's impossible because some tiny piece of you must remain included within the definition and it all becomes circular and regressing to infinity or strange looped or self referential like this sentence is false so i think we can presume that science will never know all the answers nor be able to define everything including itself completely and if this is the case then of what use is science to philosophy i maintain that it is of no use and that in fact philosophy is of no use because either there is nothing to be understood or else if there is then we can never understand it either way we lose in expending the effort and benefit from refraining from such speculation if you are the kind of person or robot who cannot function without meaning then you'd might as well freeze up now on the other hand if you can somehow put that out of your mind and you are content to operate on the surface of things for apparently no end except what occurs from moment to moment on a continual basis a kind of one second philosophy then you can just go ahead and keep your head down and keep plowing along you're not missing anything and those around us who never think this way who do not need to know why who are content to thrust their legs into cold streams scream from the top of a mountain or bake bread in the dead of winter these people are the kings and queens of the human race and i would donate half my brain and one of each set of redundant organs to science if i could but join them.
