I often find myself wondering what the purpose of my life is, and what pursuits in life are the most fruitful. Like I do with everything, I pegged over it and presented myself back a philosophical analysis of my own deliberation

the world is predictable.
there are just so many variables that its hard to keep track and get an accurate picture.
i'm sure that its possible in the future to have machines that take in every movement of every particle and every formula and piece of knowledge and be able to predict the future exactly.
If humans don't die soon.

Everyone is predictable.
Looking at it from your perspective, creativity doesnt exist.

I think creativity is more making a change or an impact on something in space, whether it be your thoughts making an impact on your mind, and brain chemistry, or ..

blah blah blah.
maybe creativity doesn't exist.
you lowered my spirits.

In the end we're just lots of little particles, clustering together among lots of little other particles, and we follow the same set of rules every single time.

Not really.

Most modern scientists will tell you that at the smallest possible level, bits of matter behave in essentially random and unpredictable ways; motivated by laws that contradict the body of physics created to observe them, acting seemingly as if they are a part of a different universe.

Determinism was definitely the flavour of the 20th century in philosophy circles, but modern physics and science is disproving its main tenant that everything the universe set the initial conditions and everything followed in sequence from it (also, the mere act of a consciousness observing them changes their behaviour--how do you explain that?)

Modern physics points to a strong likelihood of free will.

"I do not mean this in the same sink I meant in an earlier post about "reflex animals" (people who are what they've been shaped to be). I believe that every person in the world has had some experience with creativity, for if this wasn't the case then the world would be truly predictable. The amount of creativity between individuals varies, of course (I'll speak more on it soon), but the instances of creativity or something we have all experienced."

I found your journal through filmanalysis, and found it quite interesting. Hoping it would be okay to add you to friends list. Let me know if it's not.
