- Have we become less happy in this age of technology?
Not less happy but certainly more dopamine resistant which might be the same thing- Is love simply physical desire or something more?
It’s brain chemicals at first, then a choice- What is true friendship?
When two people think of the other more than they think of themselves- Why do we strive for perfection if it is not attainable?
We want what we cant have- Can life be meaningful without friends?
Yes. Every life is meaningful in and of itself. Does it feel as meaningful? Depends on the quality of friendships you have known- Does an ideal government exist?
No, government is only necessary in the first place because humans are flawed, but the only way to run a government is with said flawed humans- Does free will exist, or is every action predetermined?
+1 to free will, no question- Are we a minuscule part of intelligent life in the universe?
No. There is no other intelligent life- Does belief make God exist?
No. Belief and God are separate, therefore they exist independently- Are we the biggest threat to humanity?
Yes- Do parallel universes exist?
No- Will racism cease to exist?
Not for a long long time- Will the world be a better place if caste and religion cease to exist?
Yes and yes to religion but not faith- Do we love ourselves more in the virtual world and less in the real world?
No, if we did we wouldn’t make ourselves out to be better than we really are- Will the world come to an end by human hands?
No, we’re naive to think we have that much power- Is true beauty subjective or objective?
Subjective- If all the currencies in the world did not have monetary value, would our world be a much better place?
Would make no difference, value would be assessed in other ways- Why do we throw away food when we know people are dying of hunger?
Because when you have access to food and don’t ever experience true hunger, it’s impossible to understand the true scope of the problem much less imagine being part of the solution5 -

You're good. That would've took me at least a week.2 -
Someone gave me loaf of cinnamon chip zucchini bread. I woke up at 2:30 this morning wondering how it would taste warmed up with butter.2

nothing to disagree with here except no parallel universe bc that’s a real physics/astronomy theory of the multiverse and kind of accepted at this point1 -

I need proof for these answers
Kuddo's for answering them though, much appreciated
Even though a lot of the answers are personal answers, and not something you can actually proof (but i guess that was the idea of the question all along)

Can confirm they are all just my opinions

My turn,
Have we become less happy in this age of technology?
No, just more distracted
Is love simply physical desire or something more?
Love can absolutely exist w/o desire. You must not have kids
What is true friendship?
Knowing that person always has your back and no matter how long its been since you talked, its always easy when you finally do again
Why do we strive for perfection if it is not attainable?
Not all of us do. But those that strive for it are looking for purpose, nothing wrong with that.
Can life be meaningful without friends?
Mine is
Does an ideal government exist?
Ideal? Absolutely. Perfect? No. (see previous perfection answer)
Does free will exist, or is every action predetermined?
I don't think there is enough room here to really discuss the philosophies involved
Are we a minuscule part of intelligent life in the universe?
Yes.
Does belief make God exist?
Yes
Are we the biggest threat to humanity?
Yes, but potentially also the greatest salvation.
Do parallel universes exist?
Yes.
Will racism cease to exist?
We can only hope, but I'm doubtful.
Will the world be a better place if caste and religion cease to exist?
Well those are two very different things, but yes to both. As long as spiritually remains.
Do we love ourselves more in the virtual world and less in the real world?
Only if we are doing it right.
Will the world come to an end by human hands?
No, but that doesn't mean we won't *kitten* it up enough to make it uninhabitable.
Is true beauty subjective or objective?
Subjective, duh.
If all the currencies in the world did not have monetary value, would our world be a much better place?
I started to answer this and it got too long so short answer is, no.
Why do we throw away food when we know people are dying of hunger?
Because world hunger is not affected by waste as much as distribution.4 -

I don't think there's evidence of intelligent life anywhere in the universe.....
especially here.5 -
I think we can have freewill and everything be already predetermined at the same time...
Future me has already decided my fate... It's still me, my will, the choice I would and have inevitably made..
But still already fate...0 -

What is the difference between dating exclusively and being in a relationship and why does it even matter?! I don’t understand why people struggle these days with label aversion.2

I would thinking dating exclusively has more to do with fwb type mindset...leaves the door open for possibility of a better option...🤷♀️
Or, im just making stuff up2 -
would you rather:
be able to eat every(any)thing you want without gaining excess weight,
but all food has the consistency and texture of wet sink food
or
everything you eat tastes like delicious pizza and you never get sick of it,
but all calories and carbs are tripled with *each* bite.3 -

exclusive means exclusive. its a bigger deal.
"being in a relationship" is nebulous.
it could mean that someone is in a relationship with you, but you aren't in one with them, if you know what im saying.
and vice versa.1 -

First thought was option 1, wet sink food, b/c Im vain...but then thought that assumes option 2 would make me fat.
Option 2 might be the way to go, assuming you had some self control...or do the calories keep tripling forever till you die (3-6-9-12) or just for the item of food? Is there a daily reset?
...please say yes
OH, WAIT!
what if I just ate ice cubes, that tasted like delicious pizza!!3 -

option 2- the food counter resets every morning, but the calories and carbs triple with *each* bite you take until then. and you do still have to worry about your calories and such just to stay alive, so you can't eat just ice cubes either.1 -

That’s extremely cunning of you I must say.
When I use the term relationship, I meant a monogamous relationship.
Sorry I forgot to state what I thought was obvious. 😬2 -

Damn, though I found a loophole!
I feel pretty confident that I'd
...be miserable either way?
Oh wait, this is an analogy for eternal suffering right!
