Default Two questions.


Lets assume God Is.

God has two questions:

Whats the meaning of Matter?

Whats the matter with Meaning?



Would that describe our situation?

What is mind? No matter.

What is matter? Nevermind! - GrandMoffTarkin

I'll flesh it out.

Lets assume God Is.

God has two questions:

Whats the meaning of Matter?

Whats the matter with Meaning?

The first one, could be God asking what is the meaning of my creation(matter/universe)? Why isn't it running, people(matter) are complaining? God is seperate from creation, so God doesn't fully understand Matter, not being it Godself.

The second one, could be God asking humans "what is the matter with the meaning of Life or existance?" or "Whats the matter with the meaning I have given Life?"


Lets assume God is not.

Humans ask "What is matter/universe, where did it come from, why is it here, where will it go?" Whats the meaning of it all?

Humans ask"whats the problem of a subjective meaning to life?" "Why can't we be objective so we can stop worrying over who has the right perspective?" "Why does Meaning cause so many problems?"
