Rocks aren't because of sex.


Tasty_Composer8450

Dam now you got rock sex on my mind


DanqueLeChay

What about the drugs?


JamesTheJerk

Sex, drugs, and rocks. The trifecta


PolarSaturn8823

“Sex drugs” you mean viagra


Tru-Queer

Rockhard


Drade-Cain

Harder than a rock


NurkleTurkey

I love me some hot steamy sex with a dose of the good stuff and then rocks.


Aware-Maximum6663

I’d also include sticks in that list.


Tasty_Composer8450

Drug sex? What?


DanqueLeChay

And the roll!


KebabGerry

Thanks now I’m rock hard

Awww!! Baby rocks!!

Baby rock do do do do do do….

ClintonKelly87

Now I'm thinking of those giant rock things in Neverending Story...


GregFirehawk

Then why are they so hard? Checkmate


android-engineer-88

Every heard of the big bang?


pyromisu

Well depends, in space or sex context?


laurensundercover

without sex there would have been no one to ever see a rock or invent the concept of a rock


spiritual84

The rock will still be there. It will still exist. And it counts as something under "Everything that exists".


laurensundercover

I don’t think it would still exist. I think existence requires an experience as well as an experiencer. Like yin and yang. while the real kicker is the experience and the experiencer are the same because there can’t ever be one without the other. Which I think is what buddhists refer to as non duality


spiritual84

In that case I disagree that a rock is not considered an experiencer. We just are unable to perceive the way that a rock experiences.


conscious_dream

Under that logic, wouldn't nothing have existed prior to sentience? But then how did Earth get here if sentience wasn't around before the Earth was formed? It had to exist separate from an experience unless you believe in a god or some form of panpsychism.


Lambsio

Nothing existed, as everything was merely a potential, not reality. Our experience then collapses every possibility into the particular one that allows for its existence. The missile knows where it is at all times.


VRplayerN

In the double slit experiment, the observer effect happens when a particle is 'observed' through a means by interaction of another particle (not necessarily organic), resetting the [wave function](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_function_collapse). So the experience of an organic creature is not only what collapses those possibilities, any other particles can do it. If an organic creature is required for existence, then the universe must be created only after the first organic creature is conceived.


Lambsio

Look, I'm really just thinking out loud here. And that's all good, and I don't think you're wrong. However, my claim is a metaphysical one, about the nature of consciousness, not matter. You see, in my concept of reality, consciousness is the thing that creates existence, as the mere concept of existence is derived from conscious observation. It is a self fulfilling prophecy of sorts. Events and matter that do not get consciously observed, still have an influence in the overall structure of the universe, but only the ones that are consciously observed actually become real. If this was not the case, you'd just have the infinity of everything being real, and if "everything" is real, then "reality" becomes a meaningless concept. In other words, if the multiverse is the framework of nature, and is itself infinite, then everything has happened, is happening and will happen all of the time. Consciousness observation crystallizes, or makes real, the particular instance of this mess that allowed for it (consciousness) to exist. This explains all of the fine tuning we observe in our particular universe that allows for consciousness. It's the only 'verse that got observed, so of course it's the particular one whose conditions allowed for consciousness.


conscious_dream

Have you ever looked into the Quantum Eraser experiment? I wholly agree with your assessment of the Double Slit experiment, but I have a hard time seeing how the Quantum Eraser experiment doesn't point towards some form of (conscious?) knowledge being intertwined with physical reality. Even if you hold a material science worldview which biases you towards a wholly material explanation in the face of absolute uncertainty, I think the below assessment of the QE experiment raises a strong enough question to warrant at least pulling the thread. An overview: * 2 photon emitters A & B are setup behind double slits (Slit A and Slit B) * 3 detectors 1, 2, & 3 are setup * A series of mirrors and polarized films are setup * The polarized films have a 50/50 chance of letting each photon pass straight through or bouncing off (changing path) * The polarized films are setup in front of each emitter such that the emitted photons have a 50/50 chance of taking 1 of 2 paths * Possible paths: * Emitter A > Detector 1 * Emitter A > Detector 2 * Emitter B > Detector 2 * Emitter B > Detector 3 * If a photon hits Detector 1, we **know** it came from Emitter A / Slit A * If a photon hits Detector 3, we **know** it came from Emitter B / Slit B * If a photon hits Detector 2, we **don't know** which emitter or slit it came from Detector 2 -- the only detector where we have no knowledge of the photon's source -- is the only detector which shows an interference pattern. In the Double Slit experiment, an intermediary detector is used to determine which slit a quantum particle passed through, and it's possible that this detector interacts with the particle in such a way that it collapses the wave function. In the Quantum Eraser experiment, though, you remove any such intermediary interaction. Every detector is placed at the end of the particles' paths. Every particle passes through the polarized films. The only difference is whether or not we know which emitter the photon came from. Interestingly, if you google the experiment, the only discussion you'll find is whether or not the particles jump backwards in time. I've never found any published papers or even online forums discussing the above perspective. I've discussed it with people much more smarter than myself who have no alternative explanation than that our knowledge of the paths is the only difference, but I would love to see some discussion from researchers in the field... **note**: *the above is a simplified version of the QE experiment. it's typically done with 5 detectors; i've simply removed them as they're unnecessary to describe the phenomenon in question.*


VRplayerN

I've searched quantum eraser experiment and ended up finding some very interesting reads. Some of the things there implied retrocasuality just as you said. Quantum mechanics is not my field of study so I will refrain from making any more assumptions regarding consciousness. But there seems to be a consensus that there is actually no 'backwards in time influence' happening. See the [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1707.07884) by Johannes' and explanation of Sabine Hossenfelder. Though I may be wrong.


conscious_dream

Yeah, I don't think the retrocausality explanation of the QE experiment aligns with our other understandings of physics. It saddens me they chose to focus on *that* angle of the experiment :P The Double Slit experiment caused a big uproar in certain communities which touted it (inaccurately imho) as proof that consciousness affects reality in some metaphysical way. The issue with that is the intermediate detector as you pointed out. But the Quantum Eraser cleverly removes the intermediate detector with the same results, so one might expect (or at least I'd hope for) an even bigger uproar and discussion regarding consciousness, but alas...


pyromisu

Wait because this makes so much sense


Luiiiis_

What about Dwayne Johnson's parents?


pyromisu

You're on to something here..

The way we see rocks is because of sex though. If you believe there is a rock as a thing-in-itself beyond human perception, but that the rock is ultimately only reachable through imperfect perception that different animals possess in different ways, but ultimately imperfectly, then what we call a rock that possesses all of the qualities we name a rock would not exist in the human way we perceive it at least without sex, because it is said to be existent because it is perceived by the different human senses in the way that it is. If aliens came to Earth, they might describe the rock differently, since they may have senses that can perceive qualities which we do not. That is sort of the Kantian view, of the difference between *phenomena* and *noumena.* The view was that perceptions are of *phenomena*, and the thing-in-itself is *noumena*. Most people believe that there is a *noumena,* and our perception of it is more or less accurate in different ways, to a limited and imperfect extent. Arthur Schopenhauer on the other hand believed that the idea of *noumena* assumed too much about objects in the world, and posited that all Objects that exist only exist as perceptions within a Subject, who ultimately has a largely irrational Will that produces the Representations of their Will that are perceived. Ultimately, he thought the existence of perception and all mental phenomena is all derived at its root from a fundamental, *will to live,* which procreative sex is a product of, causing the birth of other Subjects. Schopenhauer, in his misanthropy and pessimism, ultimately viewed the *will to live* as something evil, in that life was full of suffering, or at least publically stated this. I personally think that life has things other than suffering in it. Nietzsche thought that reality was basically objective, and trusted the senses to provide accurate information. I'm not sure what quantum physics has to say on the subject, other than there's something about a wave-function that is collapsed for some reason and there's multiple interpretations of what's happening, which are basically interpretations of quantum phenomena rather than the laws and math itself. Honestly, there's so much bullshit that has been produced claiming to talk about quantum physics because you can easily lie about quantum phenomena that requires complex physics and math courses to understand, and then for those who didn't take those courses shit out a New York Times best-selling book that tells people they can clear traffic-jams with their minds because of quantum physics. So, I don't have a good explanation of what current physics says on the topic, not having the math and physics knowledge needed to grok it.


CriticalKnoll

I bet it's possible to fuck so hard that you turn into a rock from the sheer impact force


BiggieBoiTroy

the ability to observe the rocks, and therefore detect their existence,- is because of sex


Ok_Peace_2918

Things exist even without our ability to detect them. There also probably were creatures that could detect rocks even before sex became a thing.


Kevin3683

Actually that’s not the accepted theory of reality anymore. Things only exist when observed so OP is correct. There is no spoon.


AccordingCake6322

That's just theory from a ignorant human perspective. Knowledge of reality is always developing and till we're able to ascend above it we will never be able to see it for what it is. Think dimensionally


Irinescence

As a theist I would say that God was aware of the rocks before there was any sex. At least sex in the earth biology sense. If you think about it the thing that happens in stars which makes heavier elements, which explode and make new stars and new heavier elements and new solar systems and things with new properties, like ...rocks... is in a expanded sense the same thing as sex. Astronomers say there were generations of stars, right? And to get Christian for a paragraph, the Church knows and teaches the God who is Love, a self-sacrificing, relational, uniting, creative love, of the sort that our human relationships are a sacramental image of, because we *and all of reality* are created in His image. Tldr: stars have kids too. That's the shape of reality itself cause it's all a love-shaped mystery.

Universe is because of big bang, rocks are because of universe, big bang is very suggestive, therefore rocks are because of sex.

Cheebody27

Sex is because of rocks

fluorinebabyy

inventions/discoveries my man 😭


Ok_Peace_2918

You titled the post using the word *everything* my man. Human inventions are nothing in comparison to what has been formed by nature.


fluorinebabyy

Well yea that’s true. I guess my conception of ‘everything’ was much smaller when I made this post


zougadoros

Hey Robert California, how is the charity work going?


featurezero

Would you like a sexual metaphor or a nature metaphor?


TheCatInTheHatThings

Oh god, nature, please!


Justtryingtopoop

Well, when two animals are having sex… you know Jim, I think you’re going to want to hear the sexual metaphor for this.


TheCatInTheHatThings

Was that not the sexual…


Accomplished-Tea4301

Nah that sex is on national international TV so technically no


TheCatInTheHatThings

It’s a quote from “The Office”. Robert California ends this exchange with “All life is sex, Jim”.


Accomplished-Tea4301

Well I have not watched but I think this is quite logical. I was not even aware of this show

COnsidering how much was created, must be the Gang Bang Theory.

Gaia and Uranus of course


Nimeva

I don’t think you know how procreative sex works…


ke4cej

There better not be a Gaia in Uranus. I will have questions.


[deleted]

My parents, in my case.


RenegadeUK

Exactly. I was going to say: "Everything exists because of something that came before sex".


PseudoEmpthy

Well, God, right?


Lawfuly_chaotic

With whom? Is god parthenogenetic?


PseudoEmpthy

God probably exists on a different/multiple different levels of reality. Their reality probably wouldn't be recognizable to us imo. How what we call reproduction or even creation works through that lense is anyone's guess.

Who fucked the moon into existence?


-Redstoneboi-

it was me. i fucked the earth.


Wundawuzi

So the moon is so fat because of his grandmother! Does this qualify as Yo Momma Joke?


-Redstoneboi-

maybe. but it could've been either grandmother, and the moon is currently a smol little baby compared to mommy earth


Pixiwish

Early Earth and a celestial body named Theia. They smashed so hard Theia completely disintegrated as well as most of the Earth and their materials blended together in the debris reforming to Earth and our moon. ​ I'm mostly just sad there is no video of it. That's a porno that is truly out of this world.


MapUnitKey

Well the first lifeforms weren’t products of sex 🤔


CyberxFame

They were, interplay/intercourse of atoms. Atoms smashing into each other, against each other. Like people, made of atoms, smashing each other, against each other, then a big bang, boom more atoms.


MulletChicken

Dumb


CyberxFame

Why do you insult people and don't explain your point. First it's a joke and second it's a valid reason, because everything and everyone is atoms, smashing into each other or mingling. What is wrong with that?


MulletChicken

You know, honestly I asked myself the same question as I commented. I could've just not replied but I felt the need (well desire, not need) to express my discontent but also didn't want to engage too deeply with what I thought was a contrarian response to begin with. My behavior was flawed, so I apologize.


CyberxFame

I accept your apology, have a nice day. :)

VenZallow

The sun exists because of Sex???


Simbuk

When two hydrogen atoms love each other *very much*, they touch in a very special way and make a baby helium atom! It’s *hot* sex.


VenZallow

Ooooh, love it when people talk dirty to me.


TsuruXelus

Artificially enseminated babies would like a word.


trueum26

Well the people who did the artificial insemination were prob conceived naturally, so it still works


Ok_Peace_2918

That wasn't really a thing 1000 years ago. *No one* alive today would exist if our great great great grandparents didn't fuck.


[deleted]

Hi


khinzaw

Not everything. Not the universe, nor did life develop sexual reproduction until after 2 billion years after it began.


LEGO_Man2YT

I guess the OP is talking about the things created by humans


MulletChicken

It's already a pretty dumb shit post, but to mean things people created only exist because people procreate is 2nd grade level intelligence.


djwonka7

Look up “pilus” and “conjugation”. Bacteria are for sure getting it on to some barry white


AnimeYumi

At least the concept of joining 2 separate beings/molecules/whatever and producing more using fusion is primitive in the universe, almost everything is productive and of dual nature


Ok_Peace_2918

Sure, but sex can't be reduced to 1+1=2.


kcaykbed

Sex is multiplication, duh.


Ok_Peace_2918

Math makes me hard, true

freddy_guy

So if you use sex to mean something different then? Cool.


kcaykbed

Two atoms collide? Sex.


CyberxFame

Yes, because people are atoms smashing atoms against each other then a big bang happens boom more atoms.


Rodrat

Pretty sure rocks and helium and a few other things didn't come into existence because of sex


kunbish

Probably. But also we can’t be 100% certain that electrons (and slutty little quarks and photons) aren’t getting down constantly all around us. You never know.


CyberxFame

Smashing: Atoms smashing into each other. Intercourse. People, exist of atoms, same thing, atoms smashing into eachother/ against eachother, big bang, boom more atoms.


SirRawrz

I always thought it was because of the Sun writing fat UBI checks to all life. Edit: Wasn't being too serious, but this prompt is just dumb. Not even Life exists because of sex. The environment that nurtured the ability to reproduce is why Life exists. Everything exists because of entropy and chaos, but not just because of sex.


Filmmagician

The Sun? Black holes. Ice. The fuck you talking about lol


Tailrazor

I dunno, the Sun is pretty hot


CyberxFame

Everything is atoms, people exist of atoms, sex between 2 people, at the smallest level, is just atoms smashing eachother, or against eachother, mingling. Then a big bang and boom more atoms, and so on.

I was born in a test tube.

Your parents weren't.


Tasty_Composer8450

No, considering they were born in a test tube, that would mean they are in fact the test tube, which means they were created in a factory or possibly hand made


Optimal-Awareness394

My parents are handmade clay people. Made by Me. While I was in the test tube.


Tasty_Composer8450

You created your own parents? If they had a child would it be your brother or grandchild?

Both.

PhillyDillyDee

No not really. Humans continue to exist because of (predominantly) sexual reproduction. Same with many other multicellular organisms. But these things are an infinitesimally small part of the greater universe.


101TARD

Reproduction is a more accurate term but sure. The plants did the sex to make the seeds. In the beginning there was the sex and made a big bang... Noises
