Quantum Immortality Test

[Strathos]

Not flawed… not a computer!

Flawed = imperfect.

 

[JohnEmmett]

Flawed = imperfect.

Google is not the standard.

 

[Strathos]

Google is not the standard.

Now you're just spouting non-sequiturs.

 

[JohnEmmett]

Now you're just spouting non-sequiturs.

No… you're being unreasonable.

 

[Ponderous Curmudgeon]

Men probably.

Well Nelson Mandela is the only one I can find. Did he serve while dead, or who were the ones that served according to those who know he died in prison?

 

[JohnEmmett]

Well Nelson Mandela …he died in prison?

He died after prison and then again later.

 

[Strathos]

No… you're being unreasonable.

Careful, you might give me a fatal irony overdose.

 

[JohnEmmett]

Careful, you might give me a fatal irony overdose.

I'm just reporting…

 

[Ponderous Curmudgeon]

He died after prison and then again later.

Curiouser and curiouser. So how many times did he die and when since the Mandela effect refers to him dying in the 80's while he was in prison?

 

[JohnEmmett]

So how many times did he die?

He died twice.

 

[Ponderous Curmudgeon]

He died twice.

When and why is this more likely than he died once and some have false memories?

 

[JohnEmmett]

When and why is this more likely than he died once and some have false memories?

Once per timeline.

 

[Ponderous Curmudgeon]

Once per timeline.

Which brings us back to who were the presidents in 1995 since he could not have been both. If there is an alternate timeline is has consequences. How do you propose to deal with them?

 

[JohnEmmett]

If there is an alternate timeline it has consequences. How do you propose to deal with them?

By not dealing with…

Takes care of itself.

 

[Ponderous Curmudgeon]

By not dealing with…

Takes care of itself.

So why did you bring it up?
Thoughts and actions have consequences. Is it not part of Buddhism to strive for right thinking?
Would this not include avoiding false ideas that can be dismissed with very little thought?
Not dealing with one's thoughts and just assuming that they will take care of themselves seems a poor way to go through life.

 

[JohnEmmett]

So why did you bring it up?

we should talk about the weather?

 

[Kylie]

Saying I have not supported my argument is a straw man.


I supported my argument with videos…


In fact, the videos make a good case.

No they do not. The "evidence" you have submitted is not good evidence. You can't just claim strawman when people call you out for using lousy evidence.

Both, neither.

Another non answer.

To say my memory is flawed… is a straw man.

No, it is a fact. everyone's memory is flawed.

 

[JohnEmmett]

everyone's memory is flawed.

Straw man.

 

[Kylie]

Straw man.

If you think that people disagreeing with you is a strawman argument, then you're using a strawman argument against me.

A strawman argument would be if I am misrepresenting your claims. If I was claiming that you thought a person's memories were stored on USB drives or something. But I am not. I am simply saying that a person's memories may not be as accurate as that person thinks, and instead of producing any real evidence to support your position that memories are indeed accurate, you just come in and complain I'm using a strawman.

You don't understand what a strawman argument is. You don't understand the science behind memories. You have no evidence for your claims other than testimonials from people who claim that their memories MUST be right because they really REALLY think they're right.

In short, you got nothing.

More straw men.
