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
