This whole existence thing is some kind of fukn fluke, an accident of chemistry. Abiogenesis happened and 4 billion years later, here we are. Damn you, chemistry!

As a philosopher do you agree you might be hallucinating your entire life in which case there’s no chemistry and you might wake up and realise you’re an angel having a nightmare?

I am an angel's nightmare?

Isn’t it possible you’re an angel living in a blissful universe, currently having a brief nightmare in which your life, all suffering, the earth, are just elements of the dream from which you will wake up realising none of it objectively existed?

I have no reason to believe that but the imagination can weave many a fanciful story

As inmendham has said, it’s a fn molecule. That line is one of my favorites. I’m doing the bidding of a molecule with no aim outside of continuity into the future. Word salad unfortunately.

Yelp, it's all about that fukn molecule. It's like people get the hots for each other, bang out some kids, then realize they never should have been together and split. But the fukn molecule got what it wanted (more molecules). The DNA rules.
Of course the mechanism of DNA replication is well elucidated. But abiogenesis etc is highly speculative. For example, they say it happened by *accidental* mixing of chemicals. Surely if that’s the case people could *deliberately* make it happen in a lab. But they can’t!

They don't know what sparked it, but at some point on this planet, inorganic material became organic
