Anyone know what that quote is from?

sounds like shakespear

Much older than Shakespeare.

some greek faggot

I think it might be okder than that

ok where is it from big brain

Ecclesiastes!

Who?

Written by Solomon aka The Preacher.

I meant who were the ecclesiastes?

i like the Vedas, Hindu, Greek, Buddhist , mostly for how they interpret the universe, consciousness, individuality

Also, "Everything has a season [...]"

It's all about what you like

it's never about what is true

It's a book in the Bible.

oooh

but what you like should not just be something you accept, it should be something to push you to understand yourself

Sorry I don't know much about religion

A long time ago, folks thought the moon was made of cheese. You could tell them “Nah, dude. It’s rocks.” Or you could say “Yeah, for sure dude, probably mozzarella, I reckon.”
They couldn’t know.
They had absolutely no way of knowing.
Even if god came down from the heavens and said “Bruh, it’s rocks. Swear to me, fo shizzle my nizzle.” You don’t know if they’re lying or not.

We have rockets now.

The moon is rocks.

It’s the same with literally every assumption we have about the universe. We have no way of knowing about a whole bunch of stuff right now.
That will change. We don’t know how it will change. But, in the future, we will *know*.
That’s the “why”.

Nah, no worries @Muten

@Scale_e No it's literally not

godless yank

There is not "Why" in that story

that's all just finding out what and how

And that’s why.

How is "what and How" = "why"?

*If* it's enough to persue the why, it is fair enough.

For *most* it isn't.

Yeah but you can't know enough, atleast for now, to even guess at why

the scientific approach to 'what, how and why' may end in a loop

And you'll never know

Once you know the what and the how and the when and The Who and the everything else, you’ll *have* the why.

unless again something or someone tells you

You can’t get to the big “why” without the other stuff.

Nah, resting on one's laurels isn't adequate.

The "Who" is a historical thing

we don't even know if there is a who in the universe

The Who is a band

Ahh, this os where Faith comes in. @Scale_e

Mediocre at their best

so again you can't get why
