Humans ALWAYS think they are the MOST IMPORTANT thing on THE PLANET... (In fairness, to THEM, they are...) But they aren't...
If A TREE FALLS IN THE FOREST of COURSE it makes a noise!!! (You do need EARS to hear that, but it STILL DOES!!!) Everything on the PLANET is NOT ALWAYS ABOUT how we humans selfishly perceive it!!!) Other ENERGIES do things we cannot yet understand... (Because WE didn't experience it DOES NOT MEAN it didn't happen!!!)
People gamely treat this as a PHILOSOPHICAL question and of course it is NOT!!! (It is a PHYSICAL question...) The application of the dilemna to actual METAPHYSICAL or SPIRITUAL conceits is an absolute SCIENTIFIC ANOMALY! (There is no relation between either concept...)
Which is NOT TO SAY we shouldn't discuss!!!
(BUT when trees fall they TRULY make A NOISE!!! And at THAT POINT they don't really give a flying fuck what WE THINK!!!)
That's THE DIFFERENCE between US and TREES!!!
(A tree would not give a shit if I fell over, had he/she heard it or not...) And I fall over on a regular basis...
