1} Universe has no purpose, except the purpose each human wants to assign to it.


2} 3D tetrahedron divides space into three parts:


.....all that exists internal the tetrahedron,


.....all that exists outside of the tetrahedron,


...all that seperates the internal space from the external space


Paraphrasing Bucky Fuller ideas in the latter three above.


3} Universe has no desire. Only humans, and some other animals have access to desire, to whatever degree.


3 = structural integrity { finite, whole }


4 = Systemic integrity { finite, whole }


Infinite = lack of structural and systemic whole-ness

A tetrahedron is the simplest 3D shape with four triangular faces, six edges, and four vertices, essentially a triangular pyramid, with a regular tetrahedron having all equilateral triangular faces, making it a Platonic solid, used in chemistry (fire tetrahedron) and engineering for strong structures. 

Key Characteristics

  1. Faces: 4 (all triangles).
  2. Edges: 6.
  3. Vertices: 4.
  4. Type: A polyhedron and a simplex.
  5. Regular Tetrahedron: All faces are congruent equilateral triangles, edges are equal length, and it's one of the 5 Platonic solids. 

Examples & Applications

  1. Fire Safety: The "fire tetrahedron" adds the element of a chemical chain reaction to the fire triangle (fuel, heat, oxygen).
  2. Chemistry: Silicon-oxygen tetrahedrons form the basis of many minerals and polymers.
  3. Structural Strength: Alexander Graham Bell used tetrahedrons in framework structures like kites due to their inherent stability.
  4. Art/Math: A "self-righting" or monostable tetrahedron can be engineered to always land on a specific face. 

Related Concepts

  1. Dual: A regular tetrahedron's dual is another regular tetrahedron (it's self-dual).
  2. Deltahedron: A tetrahedron is the simplest convex deltahedron (a polyhedron with only equilateral triangle faces).

Of course it has. Universe achieves purpose of universe, as creation and part of Gods.

Ecclesiastes in the Bible extensively explores the meaninglessness of life.

The words of the Teacher, [a] son of David, king in Jerusalem:

"Meaningless! Meaningless!"
    says the Teacher.
"Utterly meaningless!
    Everything is meaningless."

What do people gain from all their labors
    at which they toil under the sun?

Generations come and generations go,
    but the earth remains forever.

The sun rises and the sun sets,
    and hurries back to where it rises.

My parents worked their whole life, and their whole life is misery from start to finish. So yeah, there are cases where work doesnt pay off. If they spent 40 years praising God, maybe God would give them a better life and a functional brain.

If they had more responsible children who would take care of them in their senior years. That would be a just reward.

Sadly, they only had 1 kid and couldnt even raise that 1 kid properly.

You are an adult now. That is hardly an excuse.

If you choose to give birth to a kid, at least make sure to be competent to raise it.

The statement that 

adulthood is beyond parental control is fundamentally correct from both a legal and a developmental perspective. Once a child reaches the legal age of majority (typically 18 in most places), they gain autonomy and assume full legal responsibility for their own choices, decisions, and consequences. 

Legal Autonomy

At the age of 18, individuals are legally considered adults and their parents' authority ends. Key changes include: 

  1. Decision-making: Adults are responsible for their own choices, even if those choices are poor or not ones their parents would agree with.
  2. Privacy: Federal laws like the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) in the U.S. mean parents often cannot access their adult child's education records (including grades) or health information without explicit permission.
  3. Responsibilities: Adults face adult consequences for their actions, such as steeper fines or jail time for breaking the law, as opposed to the juvenile system. 

Shifting Parental Role

Parenting an adult child is a significant shift in dynamic, moving from a role of authority and control to one of coaching, guidance, and support. 

  1. Boundaries: Parents must establish new, healthy boundaries. Anything provided to an adult child, such as housing or financial support, becomes a privilege with clear expectations, rather than an obligation.
  2. Influence vs. Control: Parents continue to have significant influence through ongoing love, communication, and modeling good behavior, but they can no longer impose control over their adult child's life choices.
  3. Personal Responsibility: The adult child must take ownership of their own life and experiences, learning and growing from their successes and mistakes. 

While parents may continue to offer support and guidance, the ultimate control and responsibility for an adult's life rests with the individual themselves.

If you plan to be a parent, better be responsible and more importantly competent.

If we were applying law correctly back then, my parents, my teacher, and a lot of other people would be in prison. So if we didnt apply law back then, no reason to apply it now.

You should be happy with the outcome. They were spared and you are a free adult today.

I agree, but as I said, my parents are not competent. they want to spend my entire childhood abusing me and then not even have any decency to kick me out of house once I am an adult so I have to stay with them still.

Hmmmm.


Interesting sentence, where you refer to your relationship with your parents in the present tense.


"They want to spend my entire child hood"....Not, wanted to spend.


"Once I'm an adult"....Not, now that I am an adult.


So, how old are you really?

Not relationship, but want. tho I understand old age degraded your brain so these sentences confuse you.

this guy has dementia and he is old as he admits. that is very bad. that means his brain degraded, so that means being unable to make proper decisions. He could even be insane. Be careful. Always be careful around old people.

You cannot deny the truth, because you put it out there.


So you cannot hide behind the demented old man rhetoric.

Dementia eats the brain. You shouldnt mock dementia, it will just eat more of your brain if you do. You are an old man.
