Heres a consciousness riddle for you

5 posts in this topic

Cthulu comes to your door, once every morning threatening you and whatknot. Cthulu does this to everyone (he works fast)

p.s. cthulu is like, part universe, and part entity of some kind. And for the sake of argument, it looks like an aggressive person to you.

Now, you can choose to NOT believe in Cthulu, and he will from then on be gone (he will vanish once the thought has fully crossed your mind) but so too will reality and those aspects you depend on.

Or, you can support your beliefs in Cthulu, lets just say, and go on having your reality destroyed from that direction (assuming you believe that he is real and will eventually break your door down)

So you have two situations that are going to lead to destruction, and the very same result, atleast as so far as you can tell. You can of course believe in nothing and ignore everything, though that is really what im saying is your option already. Its a point where its everything or nothing, and you dont have alot of options in between. If you survive the encounter, it would presumably have less of an emotional affect from then on.

Note: This is kindve a trick question i think. but im interested in wat yous say anyway.

What are you ignoring. You can only ignore something you believe exist. 


What you know leaves what you don't know and what you don't know is all there is.

If Cthulu does this to everyone, I think we could all gang up on him and threaten him back. We have the force of every military on the planet and the world leaders aren't going to sit ideally by as this monster terrorizes the entire globe with impending doom.

Maybe I'm taking it too literally.

I choose to believe in Cthulu...and kick his ass if he tries to destroy me! If I'm going down, I'm going down fighting.

I just make some tea, nod to Cthulhu every morning, and carry on knowing that I hold the same if not more power of destruction as he does.
