simple example, picking a shirt to put on, how is that not a choice in free will?

Basically because an alternative was never possible.

Science.

why not?

Because only one reality manifests.

It's not falsifiable.

See this is why it's a meme

Why a meme?

No way to prove it and no impact at all if it's true

Yes, free will is like God, a fantasy of human optimism.

It's just as much of a meme as simulation theory

No.

we're in a dream maynee

Simulation requires strict logic.

God is just fantasy, non falsifiable.

I'm not talking about determinism, it's the most boring subject ever

"Because only one reality manifests."
But it was chosen

Yes, and?

How do you know the alternative wasn't possible

>implying that you can logically prove whether you live in a simulation or not

You can, actually. Shall we?

Sure

You still technically choose that reality as well

The basis of simulation theory is bases on the fact that in the future humans may achieve a technology able to recreate the past.

That's the first premise.

You shoudl read Nick Bostrom.

>may achieve
How can it be a logical premise if it's speculation

Exactly.

It is based on probability.

If you use that as a premise everything that follows will be speculation

Strict logic has no room for speculation

*It is based on probability*

Welcome to logic

No premise is 100% known.

None.

>using speculation about the future to draw conclusions about the present

Of course.

Welcome to science.

You are finally understanding the world. as the 'experts' predict

>believing in the free will meme
welcome to nihilism

The scientific method is based on observation of events, not prediction

What is a hypothesis?

A statement which has yet to be proved by observations

Hooray.

Well, the best hypothesis' are based on strong observation and intuition.

No magic. Just good old human observation.

Sometimes it works.

That's called science.

Prediction is the based of theory.

Maybe its right, maybe not.

that's not falsifiable

But if someone has a good reason ( the prediction worked int he past) then it has strong reason for valid hypothesis.

Which is also the basis of simulation theory.

@Deleted User I lol'd (again), but his person is might be my adopted son, so be nice. Also, good to see you back friend.

the falsifiable meme is uniquely autistic

There are even good reason why Karl Popper's idea is wrong.

I didn't even need to get into it.

lets hear it

Why would I, waste of KJs.

Why, are you busy?

It's just so... extensive.

Google it.

Maybe tomorrow.

I explain too much on this server. I'm on my break.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability#Criticisms

🦆

Haha

This wiki is okay for doing the criticisms.

As you can see there is like 10 parts.

wikipedia is underrated, you can go as deep as you want with their references

Meh

It's not 'deep as you want' but if you are a lazy fuck its OK

Just dont tell the nazi's I said that.

just don't use it for a conclusion

It's a good start

I like Karl Popper.

it can get you in the right path but you need to be using actual material for any real conclusion

He is really good.

But he makes mistakes.

wikipedia is just an aggregate

That is the most painful part of studying philosophy.

I didn't have much of a father, and I put high hope in powerful idea.

Nietzsche was my first nigger dad.

All jizz and no caress.

Who would you say is your favourite thinker

The most eye opening person

Hmmm...

only the technocrat himself

My favourite is not necessarily the best philospher.

My dadfu is Aquinas.

what do you mean by calling them dad

some gay thing

What?

No, Thomas makes me feel the best, his ideas never get old and they never run out.

ye but why "dad" 🤔

Because I needed it.

My dad was never around.

hmm

How else should someone deal with abandonment than God?

getting fat on coca cola and overdosing on anime?
