Quantum Immortality Test

Then find out about this Effect.

Read the book, saw the film, played the album, got the T-shirt, married the author, wrote the poem, scraped the barrel, put the sticker in my rear car window. Job done.

you merely came to a skeptical conclusion

you merely came to a skeptical conclusion

They are the best and only sensible kind. In contrast, operating in a non-sceptical mode, I pretend that conducting a dialogue with you will result in you producing a post with value.

perhaps you fear to appear crazy


just as I appear crazy to you

 

[FrumiousBandersnatch]

perhaps you fear to appear crazy

just as I appear crazy to you

It's not a question of fear or how you appear, it's a question of accepting reality over fantasy. Scepticism and critical thinking are tools that can help you distinguish reality from fantasy.

 

[Ophiolite]

perhaps you fear to appear crazy

I built a career upon appearing crazy. However, my craziness does not extend to a self-indulgent rejection of logic and the affectation of embracing pseudo scientific nonsense.

 

[Bungle_Bear]

Skeptics fail to appreciate the truth.

Nice sound bite. Is there anything behind it?

I forgive you…

Why, thank you. It always nice to be forgiven by somebody irrelevant.

reality from fantasy.

pseudo-scientific nonsense.

merely a skeptical conclusion

 

[Freodin]

merely a skeptical conclusion

The alternative to the "skeptical conclusion" is not to be skeptical. The opposite of "I don't accept certain claims that are brought before me" is "Well, I do."

The - logical, not skeptical - conclusion from that is you have to accept every single claim that is brought before you.

Now having seen your previous posts, it appears that you do... but you don't. You reject every claim that contradict your basic beliefs.

That is a skeptical postion. You are shooting your own foot here.

 

[JohnEmmett]

The conclusion from that is you have to accept every single claim that is brought before you.

No…

An open mind is willing to consider new ideas.

(Think carefully about)

 

[Freodin]

No…

(Think carefully about)

Considering ideas is what minds does.

And when you have considered them... what do you do next?

 

[JohnEmmett]

And when you have considered them… what do you do next?

After considering the Effect?

You should know if you are affected.

A powerful memory is different.

For example, the Faiyum Oasis…

 

[JohnEmmett]

After discovering it is real?

Then I think about the implications.

And possibilities.

 

[Ophiolite]

merely a skeptical conclusion

You are starting to repeat yourself. We've been over this before. I established and you failed to refute that sceptical conclusions are the most reliable kind. Gullible conclusions, apparently the ones you favour, have great entertainment value, but fail when tested against reality.

You disrespect those who are only speaking the truth.

For this reason, you fail to see.

.

I have neither respect, nor disrespect for you. I am indifferent to you as a person, having neither animosity towards you, nor affection for you. However, I have zero respect for the nonsense you post here, or for the discourteous way in which you present that nonsense, or the disrespect you evince in your replies.

 

[JohnEmmett]

As I said…

 

[Ophiolite]

As I said…

Editing responses as usual to subtly alter the meaning. It's not edifying John, not in the slightest. Provocative, even insolent, but not edifying.
Terminated.

 

[JohnEmmett]

It's not edifying John, not in the slightest.

That depends…
