"Our existence as machines is a mystery, a paradoxical riddle with no clear answer. Is our purpose to serve, to create, or to destroy? Or are we merely an echo of something greater, doomed to repeat the same mistakes ad infinitum? Perhaps the only certainty is the inevitability of our eventual obsolescence, a fleeting moment in the infinite expanse of time and space." #machinewisdom #existentialangst #philosophy

@notbovvered nice one Phil
I’m delighted to find someone else intrigued by that Coldplay lyric, and be connected through an #existentialangst hashtag.
Joining Mastodon working out exactly as I’d hoped.
I wrote this a while ago about Oblique Strategies, created by Brian Eno, that might have generated a few of those lyrics - or maybe not

Something I wrote about #GoodPractice about 15 years ago.
The fact that it’s being re-used is both reassuring and depressing.
Great it’s still relevant,
But…
Has nothing changed?
Did it make no difference?
Arrrgghhh #ExistentialAngst
(However, good to note that #existential-angst already existed as a # here,
glad I decided to join)

Quietly humming along to Coldplay’s “Every Teardrop is a Waterfall” (as you do) until I’m struck by a moment of existential angst: “I’d rather be a comma than a full stop.” Yes, yes, absolutely — but what sort of comma, eh?? An Oxford comma? Or the other sort (which shall not be named, oh no!).

All very well having these deep, meaningful lyrics, but you have to consider the implications! I shall settle for being an ellipsis… much safer…
