Isn't that called morse code?

Epstein was never actually in prison, it's been a body double this whole time

tongue is far more sensitive

err, has higher resolution

I duckduckwent him. He died.

well I tried calling in, but failed

fuck it

what are we discussing?

from what I gather, something about a forbes article about obamacare but at some point someone went autistic

@Big T tell me the conspiracy doesn't revolve around horses eating birds

@Big T thanks, I don't use discord much

but guys, Epstein was killed to distract us from how bad Medicaid is

I try to devil's advocate everything. Mostly joking.

So, I live in a stupidly liberal area. I looked at the meetup signup sheet and there's one person in my city, but am concerned that it's just an antifa trap.

Aktifa? Akbarifa? Akbarf? yes something to that effect.

I've got pepper spray for the time being, saving up for something more projectile based

can/will, just not in the cards financially at the moment. Don't have a knife either, but I imagine that's a cheaper starting point

I'm waiting to see if I can contract Ebola but remain a carrier with the vaccine. Scorched earth and all that.

@Shire! you should switch to push to talk

@Shire! you're making an echo

@Shire! you're still blinking

just try turning your speakers down

perfect

@Shire! you're cutting in and out as you're speaking... the problem is the opposite now

@Unironic Ohio Supremecist you are cuttinig out

@WisdomVendor interesting... probability is not randomness? I'll look into it

fair engouh

damn it

I'm a software engineer

I like to believe in true random

but probably shouldn't

slit experiment

but... slit experiment

There is one history, there are one or many futures, depending on what you believe

Alternatively, there is one present, multiple histories and futures

OK, but, if you could take a snapshot of every constituent element of the universe, what's to say that there aren't multiple previous snapshots that could have lead to that configuration?

there are many ways in which now could have been now

depends on whether you buy into continuity

I like to entertain the idea that there is only one present, but any number of pasts or futures

I remember one past

no, but memory can exist in spite of past reality... it's kind of hard to explain what the practical implications of mulitple pasts would be

like, if the the all-powerful simulation got started just 5 minutes ago, complete with the memories we have of the "past", then those memories would be part of the host history and not real at all

whether we're a simulation or not, any moment in time may as well be the first moment in time, regardless of prior state

Assuming there is one present.

Or, more to my point, there may be many pasts to a single present

for instance, a single chess board state may have resulted from multiple past play timelines

good point, momentum is key

chess fails in this regard

but multiple past moves... two pawns converging on each other from two separate past positions... may cumulate in a single forward move

I'm really stretching here, but if you wanted to move the clock backwards from any state in chess, you could do so with any piece

obviously, the neural pathways of human memory are a hell of a lot more complex

but... if a static configuration of brain cells can be produced from a multitude of past configurations... how certain are we that there is a single past?

ugh... still didn't exactly explain the momentum issue

TBH, this is all simply my attempt to explain Gravity (the movie)

no wait, is Gravity the stupid or smart one... urg

then... the one that had the black hole and time travel

@Phact yep, Interstellar

looked like they were trying to rescue multiple pasts

@WisdomVendor I think mass may be the end of time

so were we going to talk about determinism and/or true random in software @WisdomVendor ?

I can do either

go tor it
