Shower talk: What's good now might be bad later

So I was just wondering, what if everyone bad: the murderers, the rapists, the wrong-doers (according to the law) were wiped out from the Earth? I know it sounds morbid but I wanted to know if Earth would really be a better place if all the "bad" was wiped out. Then somehow I came up with the answer myself, so hear me out~

Truth is, no. It's not that I'm being pessimistic or negative but even if all the "bad" (again depends on a reference point but let's assume bad things according to the law) were to be wiped out, bad would be born again since life here on Earth is "flowing". From once being "evolutionarily" fit to being extinct and new, better species evolving to continue the "flow" of life on Earth. Let me put it this way: bad things once were good. Like how killing others for food was fine in a primitive way and how now murder isn't fine. Even if everyone bad were wiped out from the earth, eventually what is considered right will be considered wrong in the future. It's a flow of "bad to good". A species once fit enough to live on earth being unfit and going extinct is just one example of good turning to bad and a new species being born from the "once bad" would be an example of good enough to even better. So, what might be good now can turn into bad later and be replaced by something even better, with the good and bad still flowing. Just like there's darkness and light (yin and yang), there will always be good and bad no matter what. I think evolution is a flow of bad to good, not exactly but it's a flow of good to better. Also, in the end, everything depends on your perspective. Just like how Physics problems don't make sense if you don't have a reference point, things in life won't make sense if you don't have a clear perspective.

Shower talk: Breaking rules shouldn't break you

I'm sorry this shower talk is in caps, I was super ecstatic when I wrote it.

Usually, we fear breaking rules because we think its consequences might break us, break our emotional state of well being, break our acceptance in society etc. But, hear me out~


IT'S ALMOST NORMAL TO BREAK PETTY RULES AS LONG AS THE MAJOR RULES AREN'T BROKEN JUST LIKE IN THE UNIVERSE WHERE THE PARTICLES GO ACCORDING TO THE FOUR FUNDAMENTAL FORCES AND IT'S SO NORMAL (it's not like something that would almost make you "not supposed to exist" in the universe) TO BREAK THE OTHER INSIGNIFICANT RULES AND IF YOU DO YOU'RE JUST DIFFERENT FROM THE REST. For instance, when the nitrogenous bases are paired in the DNA, the DNA polymerase might break the conventional pairing rule of A to T and G to C. These "variations" could cause a mutation which could probably even lead to speciation! It's thanks to these "rules being broken", species have evolved. I DON'T EVEN THINK IT'S CALLED "BREAKING A RULE" IT'S JUST DIFFERENT IN THE WAY IT IS BECAUSE IT DOESN'T FOLLOW THE SAME STUFF AS its kind and that's what makes it what it is but I'm not here to say "break the rules", I'm just here to say "it's okay to break the rules" and sometimes breaking rules can make you stand out, be different. Be EXCEPTional.

Shower talk: Alien life depends on your perspective

If anyone asked me: "Do you think aliens exist?", I'd reply saying yes. If anyone asked me: "Do aliens exist?", I'd reply saying "Maybe they do, it depends..." because hear me out~

Alien life: it exists.
It might exist in the strangest way we couldn't even have imagined of. Life itself is a broad notion, according to our reference point, it's stuff that can breathe or reproduce. But, something is defined as "living" if there's emergence in play. That's the basic foundation of life.
Emergence: things (either living or non-living but since we're trying to define life, let's assume non-living things) coming together as a group to perform one function. That is life. Just like how proteins came together to turn into the first living cell, on a whole new different planet, a whole new compound might have come together to perform a whole new function (it might not be breathing or reproduction, since that's our current reference point for living things) and it'd be a whole new living thing; something we couldn't even have imagined of since our perspective is in a whole other world or even dimension. So, aliens exist. But again, it depends on what "alien" means to you and what scientists mean when they say they're "looking for alien life out there".

Shower talk

I have found myself having very deep conversations (with myself of course) in the shower. I kept noting them down on my phone just so that I don't forget what I talked about for almost an hour with myself but then I kind of wanted to share it around, maybe pick up some critics or people that agree with me because why not since things like blogs and internet do exist. My usual shower talk is about philosophy and science; the relation between them. Sometimes they can get very "sciencey" or just "deep".

だから、よろしく お願いします〜
