"It is what it is" is a short essay by Karl Jones.
It is what it is
I'll tell you something else people don't like to hear.
We live in a deterministic universe.
What will happen has already happened.
Creation "is what it is."
Commentary
Notice how I am not flinging myself off the roof, nor being flung by my fellow men.
Good will, camaraderie, proper child-rearing.
All are essential to survival in #Our #Deterministic #Universe.
In the News
Matter is / Consciousness does the best it can.
"Impossible to know. Infinite to speculate. What to do?"
Awareness exists / Self-awareness exists / As patterns of matter and energy / In our case, protein electrochemistry.
"Please don't save the world. Anyone who thinks that they are going to save the world should not be trusted with sharp objects or positions of authority."
