Quantum Immortality Test

[Kylie]

Her birth name was not Madonna


Similar to Marilyn Monroe…

Do you have a source for this, or just a flawed memory?

you should check your own memories

 

[Kylie]

you should check your own memories

For what? They might be flawed.

 

[JohnEmmett]

evidence is within you

evidence is within you

Do you have anything more than slogans or buzzwords?

Socrates was wise because he knew… that he did not know

All you have is sound bites and deepities.

people remember Madonna’s name as Maria

Let me guess - none of these reality jumpers know Maria Ciccone, right? All the people she grew up with, went to school with, her friends and family remember her as Madonna. But a few people who have never met her but only read about her years ago are absolutely certain that her name has changed. There's no way they could have a faulty memory, is there?

 

[JohnEmmett]

There's no way they could have a faulty memory, is there?

There are many examples…

Given this, it's not faulty memory.

Lol. There are many more examples of mass hallucination and poor recollection. Given this, faulty memory would appear to be a far simpler and better explanation.

If he would actually read the wiki I linked it states that her mother was also "Madonna Louise" so she was called other things from when she was a baby. But... her legal first name was always Madonna. I guess we are jumping in the same reality, Bungle Bear.

 

[JohnEmmett]

But… her legal first name was always Madonna.

She is a famous example.

Former skeptics say… personal examples are convincing.

 

[Hans Blaster]

She is a famous example.

Example of WHAT?

People who only go by their first, given, birth name?

People who were called different things than their birth names as children because their parents were too lazy (or self obsessed) to give their children unique names?

 

[JohnEmmett]

Example of WHAT?

Perhaps it is beyond your understanding

 

[Bungle_Bear]

this is why I want you to check your own memories

I know my memory is far from perfect. It seems strange that you and a handful of others are so arrogant(?) that you must reject all evidence demonstrating that human memory is fallible.

 

[JohnEmmett]

It seems strange…

It seems strange to me…

 

[Hans Blaster]

Perhaps it is beyond your understanding

Perhaps you are not a serious person interested in serious ideas. Perhaps this is just a game to you.

 

[JohnEmmett]

Perhaps you are not a serious person interested in serious ideas. Perhaps this is just a game to you.

I take this seriously…

 

[JohnEmmett]

I know my memory is far from perfect.

you will have a memory you are sure of


many skeptics have been convinced this way
