Are you content with the way the universe is run?

Well, are you?

Well, there is no sign that it is run by anything. So, I guess the question is moot.

You don't think there are any laws that you must follow or will suffer the consequences?

I would consider something being "run" as you suggest in your poll options: That there is management.

Yes, there are physical properties that have cause and effect.

 

Not so far.

 

I have a grudge against gravity.

 

Not me, I'd prefer not to be flund out into space. Though if you meant it's just a little too much force, on Monday mornings for example, I back you up 100%.

 

Momentum is a mistake.

 

I am happy with the way the universe runs, I just wish we were a few technological steps ahead to take more advantage of its properties. On the other hand, I am glad to have been born in the analog age and grew up with computers for the first time for humans.

 

Entropy really sucks!

Why can't we adjust gravity instead of watching what we eat?

 

Trust me, you're lucky to have some.
My beef is with entropy.

 

This gave me nightmare images of zero grav bathrooms.

 

The universe doesn't have enough moral laws! Too much freedom I say!! :soapbox:

 

The universe doesn't have any moral laws.
On the other hand it's set up quite nicely in that we get all our necessary vitamins from coffee and cigarettes.

 

Do you think that the righteous indignant revenge that seems to naturally well up inside of us when something we truly love is wrongfully taken away from us is a kind of moral law of the universe?

 

Since it appears to be merely a human thing then I doubt that it's a law of the universe, any more than requiring money to buy a bar of chocolate is.

 

I should have voted for the sadistic child option, but my ego loves itself too much.

 

Nope, apparently animals react in a very similar way. I imagine if you ran up and grabbed a cub from a mama bear, the mama bear would have a very similar righteous indignation and you'd get your shit wrecked.

 

Ah, I see you missed the thread about assigning human emotions to animals: there may be similarities in behaviour but we don't know that the emotion is the same.
And again: it can't be considered a law of the universe when it only (so far as we know) applies to certain creatures on this planet.
Do jellyfish show this emotion? Cockroaches? Frogs?
