Doomsday
So with the CERN Large Hadron Colider going live this week amidst fears of it creating a black hole that will then instantaneously consume the earth, I was thinking what a wonderful thought experiment this is. To be sure the existential angst of facing one's mortality is seen by some (myslef included) as one of those ways in which to evaluate the life you have lived up to that point, decission you have made, and perhaps do some course correction in charting new decissions based on the finite time we have on Earth.
This of course provides even more limitations - not only death, but the entire planted sucked into sigularity so no legacy or artifact remaining (well maybe a voyager space craft or two). So looking back on your life, how did you do? and considering the short window of opportunity remaining, what would you like to accomplish before the 10th (the one date I heard when the Colider goes "live" but haven't found confirmation). Since I won't be leaving anything behind, perhaps I'll catch a final screening of Until the End of the World. It's ashame this is happening mid-week, would make for a great excuse for a party. All in al, I think the hedonist path would be the correct one for this imaginary scenario. Nihilists also do well I think. Anyone else have anything planned for the imminent destruction of earth?
