My view of the universe doesn't particularly influence how I choose to act in any situation, but it's still interesting to think about sometimes.
There are two sides to how I see the universe. On the one hand, I imagine the world as no more than a sequence of states. In my opinion a nice and simple description. There is no god, no right and wrong, no free will, no meaning of life. I should therefore accept whatever happens to me and remain neutral towards murder, war, climate change and so on. Since we also cannot assume that the states follow the same distribution or even are dependent on each other, we cannot say anything about neither history nor future of the universe. Science is dead, but under the premise that this theory is true, we on the other hand already know everything there is ever to know about the universe, which I find kind of neat.
On the other hand, I currently seem to have an electrochemical brain that determines how I act and what I feel. And that brain seems to have me act like I had values, morals and believe in the laws of physics.
This exemplary explanation of the universe satisfies me in every aspect I can think of, except one: Why am I (and potentially other animals and machines) conscious? I suppose it is possible that the existence of consciousness is nothing more than an intrinsic property of the universe, like the existence of the electromagnetic field, which therefore does not require further explanation. If we again believe for a second in the existence of science, then the obvious next question becomes how consciousness couples to other aspects of the universe. Obviously there seems to be such a coupling because consciousness appears closely related to brains and other complex structures.
I see little point in brooding too much over what I probably can't answer, but as I said, it still can be interesting to think about sometimes.
