I spend a lot of my free time contemplating, because I want to explore and understand everything. But I'm not as fruitful as other philosophers. Instead, I left myself with more questions than I could answer, which I've compiled into a list of 10 below:
How does our imagination know no bounds? How come we, residing in our physical reality, can imagine things beyond our reality, like magic?
Or are we just understanding magic wrong?How would you define "everything" to a toddler? How can we know, rationalize, reduce, fundamentalize, or describe everything?
Can we *create* everything? If we knew everything, would we be done?Is *nothing* the simplest thing?
How can we extract something from everything? Or did we build everything from something?
How can we create new possibilities? How can we create something that doesn't exist only knowing what does exist?Can we make sense of everything by understanding how some things are more arbitrary than others?
Is myself arbitrary?Why doesn't everything exist? How is it possible that we can know what doesn't yet exist?
Do intangible things, like the laws of physics, exist just as well as the apple on my table does?How come something fundamental can be used alone to derive greater complexity and more possibilities?
Can everything be reorganized into a tree of fundamentalities, funneling into some "primordial" fundamentality?Why are there so many different things in our universe? If there was just one thing, what would it be?
Is there always "self" and "other"? What even precisely defines a "single object" as compared to "multiple objects"?Does change require time or human consciousness? Should change be fundamentally different from state? Does anything change at all?
Is life meaningful because we change our world and experience with intention?What does a 100% lack of any rules or patterns look like? Can it exist?
Can we even explain such a system without the word "not"?
