once upon a day, an aspiring philosopher won a prize in such a competition. as a prolegomenon to a later manuscript called 'what can I know? what should I do? what may I hope?' and from there on everything went wrong and kept going wrong. so at least the title, of the winning manuscript here,

should improve on that title, at minimum. because now it's onlymore 'where do we come from? what will become of us? and nothing in between than babbling about whether or not qualia and whether or not agents and whether or not problems of consciousness, and if they are harder, or quasi-easier.

'where do we come from? what will become of us? but what would that mean in the various episodes and circumstances of our lives, other than having something to babble about on youtube, be it at bobby lawrence, or with other closer to truth suckers?' or something to that effect. maybe.
