Philosophy Philosophical Question Number 6

I would probably give humanity the finger, and then steal a NASA spaceshuttle and get the hell off this planet. Better dying alone than with six billion people running around screaming I always say.

true, very true...but you would be the only person that knew the world was coming to a close.
"You, and you alone know that the planet will cease to exist in 48 hours. (In a quick and painless way). What would you do with your last two days of existence?"

I would, however, imagine that getting a front row seat of the end of the world would be quite an amazing experience, however the world ends.
A real nausiating roller-coaster of numerous emotions and feelings.
 
Touching on the topic of doubt which was raised earlier in this thread (all be it for a different situation).
Would anybody hold back from all the crazy things you have said you would do because of doubt.
Remember, you'd be the only one who would know that it was coming to an end so you wouldn't be able to confirm it with anyone else. I feel that self doubt would creep up.
"what if i'm wrong?"
you could end up making a total prat of yourself, or worse, become a criminal.
I'm also curious if anyone would tell their friends or family (or even complete strangers) that the world was going to end in 2 days.
You could end up spending your last moments on earth trying to convince people that you weren't crazy...and then boom, it's all over.

You raise two interesting questions, SMoke. Self-doubt and the disbeliving others.

Answer to Q1: if there is no way I can confirm it, and I myself have no good reason to believe so, I'd forget about it and liev on. Hehey, got you on that one. :p

Answer to Q2: If I knew for sure, but some people wouldn't believe me, then they get to get dropped from my buddy list ! Haha, rightful revenge is mine ! Then the believers can all gather at Devil Rock for out flight out of Hell ! Haha ! Got you on this one too, SMoke ! :p

Answer to answer1: if you forgot about it and lived on as normal and it was true...well, you would have just spent the last two days of existence living in ignorance and therefore wasting the oppourtunity to fully enjoy you last days of life! (same old - same old...i don't think i'd want to be at work for example when it all came crashing down around me).
answer to answer2: i think your buddy list would be the last of their concerns. and besides, look at it this way if you will, if you closest friend or dearest family member come over to your house or called you on the phone slightly irratic...claiming the world was coming to an end...would you believe them? honestly? you'd retire back to your chair, light up another cigarette and think "i'm really worried about them, they're acting crazy".

i believe...i got you on those ones lexico. :cool:

I would go get knee-walking, gutter-crawling, face-down-on-the-sidewalk drunk and stay that way until the comet/meteor/whatever hits us square in the bass fiddle! How badly will it hurt me if we only have two days left?

lets hope so...much more fun than...well, whatever it is that ends it all!
i dunno about anyone else...i'd rather die on my own terms.
 
About the doubt... Depends on WHO or WHAT told you the earth would cease to exist. If someone would tell you a thing like that, the first thing you would do would probably NOT be trying to figure out what to do in the next 48 hours. You'd probably not believe the person telling you that at all.
Would I get the information from a person, a witch, a faerie, from God or in a dream? Either way, I'd probably think it was a lie and go on living a normal life. Thus, my last 48 hours would be in school, at home and in front of my TV... that's sad....
 
I think that I would have to take 'em up on the offer to become a porn star. Might as well die tired and happy right? :p

Fine choice, seesee. But what happens if it turns out to be a false alarm, and two yrs later, you're diagnosed with the incurable STD ?

There was a guy who was misdiagnosed with AIDS. Wanting to take as many lives with him to sheol, he went on a rampage sex spree with as many partners as possible. One day he opens a mail saying he hadn't had AIDS. But as a result of the mixup, now he does.
What are you going to do now, seesee ? :(

Witty, witty; I'll give you that. But you must remember, you were only "diagnosed," meaning they could be wrong, again. What are the chances ? 1 in a million. But if it happens, it's 100%. :evil:

I would join my wife, meet with our son, his girlfriend and our grandson and get politely but roaring drunk with them! Then my son and I would have a last laugh at the knowledge that, not only was large scale looting taking place ... it was being reported !....and efforts were being made to stop it!

Then I'd go outside and take one last look at the mountains and the sun ........

Who started this bloody depressing thread ..... ?

(But don't get too complacent you younger folks .... I believe that there is a pretty large asteroid that .........)

Regards,

?W????

You must have a really cheesy name. How about Randy Bangem?

i believe for a pornstar name you need to take the name of your first pet and your mothers maiden name.
i knew somebody who would be Biddy Lewis.

How about Small Shorty? Would that work?

Not really, it could have a different meaning in the world of porn. I think most men would go for names with big, long, huge, etc.... you get my drift. What about Shorty Bigpants? :D
Click to expand...

Having a name like that would deceive the avid viewer of porn. The pants are just not that big!:lol: Micropants would fit more.:lol:
