Quantum Immortality Test

And yet you claim absolute knowledge.

I'm learning

 

[Bungle_Bear]

many former skeptics in the discussion I linked


your only problem is lack of experiences

You're like the posters in that thread - you ignore the relevant points and respond to the least important phrase. My problem is not lack of experiences, it is your attitude.

 

[Bungle_Bear]

I'm learning

The evidence indicates the contrary.

how do you know what are the relevant points?

 

[JohnEmmett]

I'm saying a lot of former skeptics are in that discussion


hence indicating the trend of discussion


the entire discussion is relevant

 

[Bungle_Bear]

how do you know what are the relevant points?

I know the points I make. Just because your arguments are all over the place and don't appear to have any logic or support doesn't mean the rest of us suffer from the same deficiency.

 

[Bungle_Bear]

the entire discussion is relevant

When everyone ignores the explanation the entire discussion is not relevant, it is mostly irrelevant.

 

[JohnEmmett]

I know the points I make.

you are trying to be a better agnostic


which would mean to not know what is true

 

[JohnEmmett]

when you can… not know what is true


then you can… find the truth by seeking it

 

[Kylie]

when you can not know what is true

That literally makes no sense.

 

[JohnEmmett]

That literally makes no sense.

You know there is no evidence

(There is evidence)

 

[Kylie]

You know there is no evidence

(There is evidence)

You have never provided evidence. All you've done is show us more people who have the same wrong ideas as you.

That's not even a deepity. If you don't know what an agnostic is, say so.

And for someone who claims not to know you certainly seem very sure of your nonsense. Take a step back, look at the words you have written, then laugh at yourself.

 

[JohnEmmett]

All you've done is show us more people who have the same wrong ideas as you.

You don't know if the ideas are wrong

 

[JohnEmmett]

If you don't know what an agnostic is, say so.

agnostic refers to someone who doesn’t know

I do not know this is not happening


I am very sure I do not know that

 

[FrumiousBandersnatch]

Can I?

Apparently you *have* posted your false memories in this thread.

Frankly I don't find your error all that surprising, or that many have made the same error. It's clear that thinking the store shared a spelling with the coin of the exact same pronunciation is just an accidental remapping of memories. It seems quite natural and quite unremarkable.

I'm not sure I could have spelled the store, but as some one who got most of his "nice clothes" in childhood from that store, I did notice long ago that the coin and store had different spellings.

Yup - I gave some examples of the kind of expectation-based recall errors way back in #11. Almost all of the Mandela effect claims are of this type.

 

[JohnEmmett]

Almost all of the Mandela effect claims are of this type.

That's how it seems


Are things as they seem?

 

[JohnEmmett]

The real reasons for these perceptual and memory glitches are far more interesting than childish clickbait fantasies aimed at the impressionable and the gullible.

You disrespect the truth of this effect


If you valued this truth…

 

[FrumiousBandersnatch]

That's how it seems

Are things as they seem?

Not always. But the simplest explanation that is in accordance with what we already know about the world is usually the correct one.

In this case, it's the well-established fallibility of memory vs science-fantasy that is contrary to all we know about how the world works, i.e. physics. No contest.
