Why are the world so fine tuned for life?

It seems that the cosmos is very special and fine tuned for life.
Stephen Hawking;

 The laws of science, as we know them at present, contain many fundamental numbers, like the size of the electric charge of the electron and the ratio of the masses of the proton and the electron. ... The remarkable fact is that the values of these numbers seem to have been very finely adjusted to make possible the development of life.

There seem to be at least two answer why it is so; the anthropic one, otherwise wouldn't we humans be here.

Another answer may be, if there are an infinite numbers of universes out there some will be fine tuned for life to exist.

A third third view can be: yes, some universes  would be fine tuned for life, but maybe why for humans, is it not a lucky (or unlucky) chance that we are here?

We may never have the right answer, but for me it may be many universes out there, maybe on the other side of the black holes.

We may live in kind of big tree and the branches will be other universes.

There is so much to now, we  cannot be sure that we live in a cold and wast cosmos.

There may be min many discoveries in the future that we cannot imagine today.

There may even be true that the universe wanted some things like humans to live here, even if it took billions of years for us to appear on Earth.

But it's a wonder that we are here.

As its a wonder that over companions are such as siberian tigers and elephants.

But anyway mankind it now seems that humankind is standing on  a very high cliff - and we have to take some steps backways.

Let's listen to this very wise Indian woman:



The ceremony she does with the water reminds of how  the buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh use to drink his tea. With thankfulness and very slowly so he can be with the water.
We can see the water as holy, because we wouldn't be here.

Casey Camp, the indian woman, says that there my come dark times. But after that new and brighter times.

If the Earth is a big organism it may shake like a dog who wants to get rid of the water  from its fur after a bath.

 We will be the water drops that falls on the ground and dries away. And the dog is free from its burden.

Hopefully some drops will stay in the fur though...










Life can only be understood backwards but must be lived forward. (Kierkegaard)

Cora Diamond on eating animals - with the help of Wittgenstein´s ideas

Image
Cora Diamond is a new name for me, even if she has worked as a professor in Philosophy in the states for a long time and is still  teaching at the university of Virginia, even she is over 80 years old. She has written a lot about Wittgenstein and that has helped her to express her view of the topic. Although she, like Wittgenstein,  has lived in a hut in Norway - and actually brought Tractatus with hes - she seems to be different and for sure more glad than W. Anyways, its W: s writings that interests her and especially his critics of metaphysics and ethics in philosophy. As it is said in Tractacus  : " Whereof one  cannot speak , thereof one must be silent." And of ethics philosophy should not speak - why? Is it like in Buddhism - its better to sit in silence and let know yourself, than to speculate about what will happen when we die? But for sure there ethical guidelines in Buddhism,  but the behaviors is often named skilful, not good (or bad). Another

I think, therefore I am NOT

So Descartes was wrong. He said that he could doubt everything about himself except that he was thinking. That proved that he existed. The word "I" is the central point here. What does it mean? Perhaps we are sure that we know the answer. Is it the thoughts? In that case - where are you when you aren't thinking? Is it your job, your title? In that case - what happens if you loose your job or change job? Is it your house, your nation? Under my course to be a mindfulness instructor, the teacher, Ola Schenström, made us ask to each other; "Who are you?" After each answer the question was repeated by the questioner.We soon discovered that there were no end to the answers - or maybe an adequate end could be; "I don't know."Or maybe; "It seems I have no essence." Other thinkers have come to the same conclusions; Buddha, Sartre and more recently Damasio and Parfit. Sartre, for instance, has said that we are the sum of our actions. We ha

Wittgenstein and Buddha -buddies?

Image
Ludwig Wittgenstein, the famous philosopher, reflected in the posthumously published  book "Philosophical Investigations" about the picture above; Is it a hare or duck?  He meant that we make, or must make, a statement what it is. And I suppose he meant that we often or always has to interpret the world around us. But two different interpretations can both be right! Language and thoughts controls what we see.....   You can compare with the picture of a glass. Half empty or half empty?  Who decides? Yes, it's you... And whatever you say is right.  But you can be aware of what you think. That can say more of yourself than of the glass....  You can be aware of that you always do interpretations of things that happens.  If you have a pessimistic or a naive point of view, you can be aware of the view and your statements.  Buddha and Wittgenstein were both aware of that different persons uses different perspectives.  But Buddha spoke about the "right
