If the amount of matter or energy in the universe is finite, then there are a finite number of ways in which things in the universe can be arranged. Either one of these states will constitute equilibrium, in which case the universe will cease to change, or change is constant and unending.  Time is infinite, both forwards and backwards.  Therefore if the universe ever was going to enter state of equilibrium, it would have already done so, since in an infinite amount of time every possibility would have already occurred.  Since it clearly hasn’t yet reached a permanently stable state, it never will.  Therefore the universe is dynamic, endlessly going through a succession of different arrangements.  But since there are a finite (even though incredibly large) number of these, they must recur every so often, separated by vast eons of time.  Moreover, they must have already come about  an infinite number of times in the past, and will do so again an infinite number of times in the future.  Consequently, each one of us will live this life again, exactly as we are living it now.

Our first reaction would be utter despair: the human condition is tragic; life contains much suffering; the thought that one must relive it all an infinite number of times would seem terrible.
Our second reaction would be to welcome the news, embrace it as something that one desires That, says Nietzsche, would be the ultimate expression of a life-affirming attitude: to want this life, with all its pain and boredom and frustration, again and again. ]]> 2017-07-30 08:13:49 UTC https://padlet.com/avackj1999/xkttsry7pmth/wish/179699729 avackj1999 https://padlet.com/avackj1999/xkttsry7pmth/wish/179699767 Someone who is willing to risk all for the sake of enhancement of humanity - survival of the fittest (only those worthy get to progress and pass on their genes).

• Has his own values, independent of others, which affects and dominates others lives that may not have predetermined values but only herd instinct
• Has a life which is not merely to live each day with no meaning when nothing in the past and future is more important than the present, or more precisely, the pleasure and happiness in the present, but with the purpose for humanity
• Able to affect history indefinitely - he will keep reentering the world through other people's minds and affect their thoughts and values
