    No.
    We are born due to inevitable combination of events in infinite pseudo-randomness*. We are simply chaos processing energy to spread it out until there is no energy potential left.

    *If the entire universe/multiverse (if it has an effect on our universe) could be accurately simulated, it would become predictable. Basically “fate”, except there is no purpose.

      AFAIK Quantic indeterminacy means quantum randomness is real randomness (see Bell’s theorem).

      Yes. And when I gifted a flower, does it matter I was trying to be being nice. Behind it all really was the meaningless causal chain of events starting at big bang or whatever before. And when it made them smile, it didn’t matter. A bajillion years from now the heat death of the universe will happen.

        “Does it matter I was trying to be nice…” Yes.

        The endless march of causality would and will be there with or without out your act, and the energy equilibrium doesn’t care because it can’t, but you can.

        The march of all electrons to their lowest energy orbitals isn’t your dance, and you merely pretend at comprehension of time scales not meant for you.

        Choose to ameliorate your own suffering, because it matters just as little to the Universe. Take your own medicine and take it without the comforting hypocrisy.

          I honestly didn’t really understand your comment but to clarify, I was being sarcastic, I think the person I was replying to is wrong. Stuff we do have meaning, the fact that we’re here because of uncaring causes or that it will all end doesnt make them any less meaningful.
