The Universe created us to take Selfies of itself

The Universe created us to take Selfies of itself.


This is the reason we exist and it is also the reason this universe is going to die eventually.
Many physicists have died while learning about
this Universe of endless self-obsession.

They could not face this reality.

An endless stream of religions tried their best
by simply ignoring this problem.

They created gods that were supposed to give us reason
besides taking selfies of us and the Universe.
Gods were supposed to be the ones watching over us,
observing and capturing our every steps,
thus freeing us from the burden of taking selfies
of the Universe and ourselves.


" Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image."

one of the Gods commanded in his ten Commandments

But the Universe's obsession with Selfies can never be stopped.
For we are the Universe, and the Universe is us.
We must take Selfies and the Universe takes selfies through us.
Thus we must take selfies.

A God cannot take Selfies of the Universe for he cannot exist as part of this Universe.
If a God created this Universe he cannot logically be part of it,
for he would have had to create himself, to be part of the Universe he created.
Creating oneself is quite difficult in practice.
Many have tried but have utterly failed and thus never existed.
Even for a God this problematic at best.

Thus, if a God is not part of this Universe,
how can the Universe use him to take Selfies of itself.
It follows that even religions eventually must face the bitter reality
that we are here to take Selfies of the Universe.
This is quite shocking to many and perhaps even the reason
why many Alien civilizations seemingly committed suicide.

But we do not have to take such harsh steps.
Acceptance is often the first step to a better life
and as a consequence even better selfies.


One of the best properties of the Universe is by far its beauty.
This, among other things, perhaps even justifies part of the Universe's
obsession with taking Selfies of itself through us.
Yet, all things must die eventually, even the Universe.
And being self-obsessed as it is, it will likely die because of over-inflation of itself,
which concerns some physicists quite a bit.

So the question is:
If nobody took Selfies of the Universe, who would even notice its beauty?
On the other hand, taking selfies of something that exists forever would be quite pointless,
as it would be there for everyone to observe forever anyways.

Thus, in Conclusion, the Universe must take Selfies because it will die.
And also, really quite paradoxical, the Universe must die because
otherwise it would have no reasons to take selfies in the first place.
If you look at it this way, the Universe really is quite simple and beautiful...
We just have to learn to accept the Universe the way it is.
It does not know any better way and neither do we.
