    None of the above. I'd buy (and read) a paperback copy of Hamlet.

    i have to give the guy credit for knowing who to turn to. i would simply get myself aroused and push the button with my giant internet penis while continuing to enjoy my meal.

    ^ then i would back up a bit, in order to still be able to hit the button with my even more aroused genitalia.

    I’d flip a coin

    Heads: I press the button and save humanity

    Tails: I order my favorite desert Boston Creme pie and wait till the end

    Fair enough.

    The way I see it, nothing will be lost because there is no one to feel the loss.

    Does everyone exist by the internet for either being or not-being?

    being: defined by the address as of the physical location according to the postal service of belonging country Canada Post; India Post; U.S. Post etc. symbolized by the trademark, and URL attached.

    not-being some mere e-mail context or posting context, symbolized by the anything a provider makes money for convention OR business. :)

    No is why I said many. Without consumers there are no merchants. Internet is a shared corridor of refraction and saving the world is a megalomania. However a single thought or a flip of the coin can change a whole mind and as we share our thoughts the potentials are mind boggling.

    I'm not so sure I appreciate my mind being boggled. Perhaps it's an addiction? Someone once said to me, "The fact that we don't blow our own heads off is an indication that almost all of us share an addiction to life." At the time, I wasn't really all that interested in life, and I just nodded. It made me wonder why a person can't just say, "Well, I feel like I've seen enough, and I'll be moving on now," and then blow their head off. If they said something like, "I'm moving to Brazil tomorrow, and you'll never see me again," that would be acceptable. But if they announce that they've decided to exit this realm or reality by blowing their head off, everybody gets all judgemental and expresses their fear over someone who doesn't seem to share the same propensity to survive.

    I'm better now. Today I become judgemental toward those who don't share the same propensity for survival because I just want to fit in.

    smile and look around for the hidden camera.

    look there's no way i'm gonna run. there's no way i'd get there in time. i'd pass it around to the rest of the table. if someone else wants to get up and deal with it that's fine.

    i also take the somewhat broader view thet for earth to have never existed just might not be any great loss to the rest of the universe.

    i like to think anyway, that i'd be more curious to see what happens if i don't. but again, if someone else wants to, that's fine. i won't try to stop them.

    Hmmmm,.... I suppose you're right on this one, but in the opinion of 'God's time' it is only for humility's sake by itself; for the true Time of abstraction attaining the self-subjection, Earth, Individuality in the Natural World, the rest of the universe is concretely the applied law of non-contradiction into the Organic being proven at organizing. Now, you think we can't prove that; everyone must organize with a purpose; then why not organize, looking backwards in Time? Evolution, huh!?

    Backward in time? DId I say 'backward in time'; you do explain apparent transmutations,... transformations ,... not to be, nor merely be not?

    Nope, no guilty conscience here, but I am not sure about any after life, so I don't want to die. Why? Do you?

    to be or not to be. I will be...

    anaximenes. I do not know who you are, but I see u are 64 years old from your profile page just now. Is there something you need or want from me? I do not read minds and would like to ask you directly what is going on here. I do not want to argue with you or make enemies, but I do see red, if I feel somewhat threatened for my animals, and if that is not what you meant, then please say that.

    To keep things in perspective you don't know who he is and he doesn't know who you are and you are hundreds of miles apart. Don't worry be happy, or not.
