It was beautiful...and very philosophical ✅
That reminds me of An American Tale! 😉
Gosh I missed Fivel. He was a cool mouse. 😄
Re: What is the world made of?
Well, I suppose the world is really just our interpretation of what we see around us--a person who has had an easy life will generally see the world as a nice place, whereas a person who has been through a lot of crap will see it as a negative place. Generally speaking.
However, as Milla already pointed out, humans have only been around for a split second of existence. So that's a tough one...

Exactly, thanks Fire. 🙂Besides, I didint ask whats the Earth made of, but whats the world made of. 😛
By saying "the world" you are basically reffering to earth. Unless you are talking about some other world that we don't inhabit.
But ok, I will answer the question in a "philisophical" way. The world is simply made of every living creature that exists on it. For without them it would simply be a large rock. Without man, it wouldn't even be a world, or earth. Those are both words/names we use to identify this large hunk of rock we live on.

No, by saying "the world" she meant the world in which we live, not it's physical state but it's concept, interpretation and mental portrayal.
And it was good of you to answer the question "in a philosophical way", considering it's a Philosophy Forum I assumed it would be the only way to reply 😄

No, Im not talking about physical ''earth'' then i would be asking whats the plantet/earth made from.
People have always been asking,
"What is the world made of?"
and
"What holds it together?"
These are ''eternal questions'' as they call it... Also, the key here whom you ask, you will get very different answers to that question. To a biologist, the world is made of living organisms. To a chemist, the world is made of molecules formed from atoms. If you ask that question of a physicist, the physicist will probably start by talking about atoms, and then he/she will talk about the protons, neutrons and electrons that make up an atom and all that crap. You ask philosopher he'll tell you ideas, you ask ordinary man on the street, he'll be vague and say ''rocks'' and dirt and what not, you ask religiousleader he'll say of God, as he's everywhere...
But then again, most of these are one side of the ''world'' being made from...its like, whats the idea made from? Not where does it come from, not why its there, but what is it made from.
If you tare a wold apart, what would you be left with? 😖 Im kinda thinking along those lines. 😖

Perhaps you should rephrase those particular questions?

If that doesn't explain to you all what Milla's trying to ask, then I don't know what will. She's given examples of varied points of view, and as different opinions were what she was looking for to begin with, why don't you all try to be a little less logical in your answers? Try to be a little more open minded with regard to the questions, and don't take them so literally.

I think we'd be left with the fundamental elements, not physical, but mental. Preconceptional ideas. So I guess Fire may have been onto something...... ✅
Spoken like a true matrix fan, "a human concept".
The world in which we live is the people around us. Our friends, neighbors, allies, and enemies all make up this world. The points of view we have of them and their actions(which they do by the ideas they have) all create the "world". Every living(and sometimes non living) thing on the planet that we call Earth is what makes up our world. Period.

DEFINE "world", if it's not the planet Earth made from atoms.Then I can tell you what I think it's made of. But frankly, I think it's in the eye of the beholder, being - if I understand you correctly - a human concept.
Exactly 😄
Defining what world is would be the hard part, ater thats over, its somewhat easier to define whats it made of. 😊
I guess to me the world is....everything arround us, physical, non physical 😑 ideas, concepts, earth....everything...i dont know, but thats my side of it....
I dont really know how to define it....to be honest.
