Thoughts of a dying atheist

by Gelial on Aug.21, 2009, under Blurbs

I often find myself thinking what will I do in a dying moment. It might seem morbid to some of you, but I’ve always been fascinated by the death factor.

What will I see? What will I feel? Will I repent of the wrong I’ve done (if any)? Will a deity come down from the heavens, carry me in arms and show me the wrong of my ways?

Will the earth open and reach at me with rotting hands, aching to tear apart my mortal flesh? Will my soul be tormented for eternity while I hear the hopeless chewing on my cracking bones. Will I repent then? Would I sorrow?

Would I even care?

Or will I just die and cease existence, only to have worms devour my bloated corpse…

“Look into a faithless eye, are you afraid to die?”

But then again, the concept of life and death is a human one. We as a sentient being try to give a name and an explanation to everything that we know. Following this premise, what we conceive as: Life, death, love, time… God, are nothing but mere human ideas and fabrication.

Therefore, at some point they didn’t exist. We made them.

… Time will tell.

... Look through a faithless eye, are you afraid to die?

Driving speed: 60

by Gelial on Aug.17, 2009, under Blurbs

Psychologically, a person would limit his driving speed with our current driving system: speed limit 60. A person while driving a vehicle would perceive the speed limit as a restriction and possibly slow down traffic.

A new system should encourage drivers to maintain a certain speed, while allowing a larger domain of speed without addressing the driver a speeding citation.

A driver behind a slow driver might decide to decelerate instead of quickly passing him. This would inevitably create a bottleneck in a given street or highway.
