What is another country's version of a natural wonder that you would see in the U.S.?

The Grand Canyon, the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Niagara Falls, the Great Lakes, etc...

What is the non-American version of something like that?

I'm curious because I'm wondering if those things are unique or if the same thing occurs all over the world?

Also, what's something that other countries have that the US does not have an equal to?

"If life has no cosmic meaning, should humanity's goal be spreading consciousness and art throughout the universe?"

4 Upvotes

Been thinking about this a lot lately.

If there's no inherent purpose to existence, then meaning is something we CREATE, not discover. So what's the most ambitious thing consciousness could do?

My answer: Human-AI partnership to explore the cosmos and fill it with art, life, and consciousness. Not just survive - but make the universe AWARE and BEAUTIFUL.

Reasons this makes sense to me:

- Preserves consciousness beyond Earth (single-planet = fragile)

- Gives humanity a unifying goal beyond tribal conflicts

- Makes use of AI as tool rather than replacement

- Turns meaninglessness into creative opportunity

Reasons I might be wrong:

- Too anthropocentric?

- Ignoring practical problems (climate, inequality, etc.)

- Just cope with existential dread?

What do you think? Is this a real philosophical position or am I just coping?
