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.
