Mark Twain Quote

Man has been here 32,000 years. That it took a hundred million years to prepare the world for him is proof that that is what it was done for. I suppose it is. I dunno. If the Eiffel tower were now representing the world's age, the skin of paint on the pinnacle-knob at its summit would represent man's share of that age; & anybody would perceive that that skin was what the tower was built for. I reckon they would. I dunno.
- "Was the World Made for Man?"

Mark Twain

MICROCOSMOS FULL we are gods to these creatures

“The world is like a ride in an amusement park. 

And when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. 

And the ride goes up and down and round and round. 

It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. 

Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: "Is this real, or is this just a ride?" 

And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." 

And we kill those people.”

 Bill Hicks

Part of the universe being born of a black hole

Entropy is lesser in the beginning of the universe because it came from a black hole. The black hole ripped matter down to it simplest elements and spit them into this new realm to cool, congeal and become more complex.

From the Tao Te Ching

18

When the great Tao is forgotten,
Kindness and morality arise.
When wisdom and intelligence are born,
The great pretence begins.

When there is no peace within the family,
Filial piety and devotion arise.
When the country is confused and in chaos,
Loyal ministers appear.
