In the world, is there a chicken first, or an egg first?
The simple and straightforward answer to this philosophical question is: There are chickens first.
Because mature chickens can survive independently in the real world, eggs as chicken eggs cannot survive independently in the real world. Therefore, along the long river of time, in ancient times, there must have been a large number of independent mature organisms (chickens) wandering in the forest, rather than a large number of organisms' eggs (eggs) waiting for flowers to bloom in the wind and rain.
Of course, if someone had to define the first egg hatching creature as a "chicken," the answer would be another.
For philosophy, there was a time when I was particularly fascinated by philosophy, reading a bunch of philosophy books in a mess, and finally I had to give up without any results. I can only blame myself for my low IQ and the difficulty of understanding the lofty realm of philosophers.
Later, when I made some achievements in the study of thinking science, I gradually discovered a secret: many philosophical theories of thought are just the results of wild thoughts, but in fact have no practical value. The more real a person is, the easier it is to fall into the magic of the illusory theoretical world, but to look at the problem with simple realistic thinking, and the answer is both simple and straightforward.
Just like the idiom "draw a snake to add feet", many philosophers always like to explore the "sketch" of the truth ontology, and when they are exploring the truth ontology, they will go out of their way and draw seven or eight "feet" to show their original ideas. In fact, this is often a manifestation of the shallowness of philosophers' thinking, and because they are unwilling to think deeply about the essence of exploration, they have to use exaggeration and strangeness to attract attention. True philosophy is disdainful of these evil doors and crooked ways, and will only go deeper layer by layer, using solid logical reasoning to reveal the deep mysteries of the world.
There was once a philosophical proposition of life that many intellectuals liked to discuss and study:
Since it is inevitable to die after all, what is the meaning of human life?
This is a seemingly profound but in fact shallow philosophical proposition, which inexplicably mixes human life and death with the existence or absence of meaning, constituting a grotesque question. If the average person does not have a strong logical thinking literacy, it is easy to be confused by it, because it is a wrong question in itself, if you have to study to find the correct answer, it can only be futile, waste time and intelligence.
The more lofty philosophical answer to this question is that man's life has no meaning in itself, and that the period of life needs to be given meaning by man.
However, I also see another simple and straightforward answer: since food will eventually turn into feces in the stomach, what is the meaning of eating food?
Lenin once said: A question posed by a fool cannot be answered by a hundred wise men.
Therefore, really smart people never compete with stupid problems, as long as they are serious, they lose!
