Quantum Immortality Test

it doesn't work like that.

memory relies on virtue


you may speak for yourself

 

[JohnEmmett]

like I said, only strong, confident memories are counted as examples


hence the Mandela Effect is based on reliable memory

Memories are not reliable just because they are strong.

 

[JohnEmmett]

Memories are not reliable just because they are strong.

A strong memory is the only thing to rely on.

 

[Kylie]

A strong memory is the only thing to rely on.

I'd rather have evidence.

As has so often been shown, memory - no matter how strong and vivid it is - can not be relied upon.

 

[Strathos]

memory relies on virtue

If that were true, then why were some of the best chess players (something that requires incredible memory) pretty awful people, like Bobby Fischer? (Who hated Jews and said that the US deserved 9/11).

No…

 

[JohnEmmett]

If that were true, then why were some of the best chess players (something that requires incredible memory) pretty awful people, like Bobby Fischer?

You say he is awful…

 

[Strathos]

You say he is awful…

Well if you think that all Jews are evil and the US deserved 9/11, then maybe you don't think he's awful.

 

[JohnEmmett]

then maybe you don't think he's awful.

I think he was mentally ill.

 

[Strathos]

I think he was mentally ill.

Perhaps, but he certainly had an amazing memory.

 

[JohnEmmett]

Perhaps, but he certainly had an amazing memory.

Chess leads to nowhere, he was lost.

 

[Strathos]

Chess is benign. It leads to nowhere, then he was lost.

He was a raging bigot and not a very nice person. But he had a great memory.

 

[JohnEmmett]

He was a raging bigot and not a very nice person. But he had a great memory.

He was merely lost…

 

[Strathos]

He was merely lost…

So having a great memory doesn't prevent someone from being "lost", then.

 

[JohnEmmett]

So having a great memory doesn't prevent someone from being "lost"

Mark 4:12

Yeah, it's much better when you can say, "See that?" And then other people say, "Yeah, I see it too! Let's study it and record it!"

 

[Kylie]

No…

Your refusal to accept the evidence is not an argument against it. Memory is notoriously unreliable.

 

[JohnEmmett]

Yeah, it's much better when you can say, "See that?" And then other people say, "Yeah, I see it too! Let's study it and record it!"

I wonder why you don't see it.
