what matters? what's time? who governs it, who abides by it, who states it should run us like hamsters in a wheel? what's our place, our purpose- predisposed to balance? what's religion, what's faith, what's personal salvation? why religion, why faith, why personal salvation? unless life is a noncyclic road, what is the importance? who is to say it isn't a noncyclic road? what's life, what's indifference to it? what's sex, what's sadomasochism, why sm, what's love, why love? what are relationships- companionships- stemming from what? loneliness, greed, innate need? what's conscience- learnt or innate? what's truth? what is right and what is wrong? filtered by perceptions? societal pressure? what is self- personality, heart, mind, name, number, body?
man is the measure of all things... sounds familiar? it wasn't by EM Forster of the machine stops, he plagiarized. it was a philosophy by a philosopher called Protagoras of Abdera.
oh but....
Man is no longer the measure of all things, the centre of the universe. He has been measured and found to be an undistinguished bit of matter, different in no essential way from bacteria, stones and trees. His goals and purposes, his egocentric notions of past, present and future; his faith in his power to predict and through prediction to control his destiny — all these are called into question, considered irrelevant, or deemed trivial.
