About the Members 31: Norsefire

What aspect of business do you hope to venture into?

What do you think of Madoff's ponzi scheme? Were the investors stupid? Or could it have happened to anyone despite regulation?

No, I don't see what's wrong with altering the natural world if it benefits us.

Even if 'altering' means the extinction of millions of unique species ??
By the way, the altering is not the goal but a side-effect. An unwanted one.

One day I want to open up my own store

Though that's probably a ways off

It's fraud. And sure.

My philosophy is this: if it benefits us it's good.

Yes. Before my exposure to atheism I couldn't even conceive of the concept and was extremely offended by it. Over time, though, I saw reason

how much time did the "conversion" process take?
how much was it offensive, and why?
can you express the moment of enlightenment? the moment it all becam clear? it must've been something you'll never forget..a very unique experience..could you share it?
 
Imagine you could have any woman on the planet as a sex partner for the rest of your life. Any woman you want! The only catch is that you have to have sex with one man. What woman would you choose, and what man?

No I am not inferring that life is boring. What I mean is since there is a natural progression of things which make life interesting for example being a child (innocence), a teenager (new physical and emotional sensations), adulthood (taking responsibility), Old age (the passing away of worldly interest). All these are 'new' experiences in the stages of life. If we lived forever it would be a stage of stagnation and there lies the boredom, everything would be a repeat if you know what I mean of one stage in existence.

Not to speak for Norse, but personally: you're crazy. Life is about choices. Every time you choose to do one thing, you decide to not do one hundred other things. I'm an eye doctor, but I'm also interested in law, science, even the arts. With an eternity to play with, I could pursue all options. I could get a Phd in multiple subjects, become a lawyer, raise ten kids, be a stay at home dad. Wander Europe. Be an astronaut. Study philosophy. Learn to play guitar. Join a band. Become a professional athlete. You'd have no regrets. There'd be no conflict between career or family. Do both! Repeatedly! Every dream could become reality.

At least that's how I see it.

Over time. Offensive because I couldn't conceive of the idea that somebody could not believe in god

I'm not crazy you just don't understand the post. Its not about 'choices' its about the fact that at some point if you interfere with the process of life then you are in a stage of stagnating, no change in life dynamic. Part of the impetuous to do all the things you have on that list is knowing that you have a limited of time to do or achieve them. In one lifetime you can still study philosophy, join a band, wander Europe, engage in sports etc.

You also assume that an interest in something will arise simply because you are around long enough which may very well not be true.

You must be a real child if you think that a longer life means you will never have any regrets, you will still have regrets and you will have conflicts, no conflicts means no growth which of course is another form of stagnation. But of course you are free to dream your silly utopia.

Regrets are not necessarily born from what you have not done they also arise from what one does.
