Oh man, one of my favorite concepts...

I see what you're saying, but that pattern of decision making could have gone any which way in the development process.

Psychohistory

Isaac Asimov wrote about it as a fundamental premise to his Sci-Fi series

Very good books

oh interesting

Drew, as you said, people are impressionable. If I knew the events that would occur, I could tell you which way that development would go.

Psychohistory, if you are curious, is this idea that while individuals themselves are quite complex and intricate beings, a 'mob' of people become infinitely more predictable and patternistic in their behavior. Meaning that within a certain margin of error, you can calculate probabilities of eventual outcomes by deducing the actions of a mass.

The one caveat being, that if an individual has enough tenacity to dramatically alter history, they can throw off the balance of said calculations.

And that is the fundamental story idea in the Foundation Trilogy

Nothing is random, (except the decay chance of a radioactive isotope with a 50/50 half life, which is why it’s used in the thought experiment of Schrödinger’s cat.)

Evidently, Schrodinger's Cat isn't exactly random either.

Nor is it prior

It exists as a Superposition of two eventualities

Where, the deduction and measurement of those forces the collision of one or the other.

Which requires true randomness for that superposition to take effect.

Well, a certain degree of randomness

More of a range of possibility

Or of potential outcomes

The range of solutions to a superposition

Here I'll sum it up: The second trumpet was the black death - one third of the "seas" which is humanity was purged. Then the second angel pored out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living creature in the sea died. (This is what we're about to face) The body will not be saved, but the soul may be if you do not place faith in the beast.

And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

Uh what

"about to happen"

Sure buddy

See, I’m atheist.

I doubt this’ll happen.

Im a christian

I doubt his certainty with which he said its about to happen

For no man shall know the hour

Eh, for me the hour just ain’t coming.

What’s been described defies physics.

And if there is a god, the game maker still has to follow the rules of the game.

Idk

We'll see

@Logrian So, I thought about how someone said there weren't any star in the tesla roaster live stream. I messed around with my camra's settings and realized that most modern cameras auto adjust to the brightest object (the tesla). You can prove this by putting a camera on the "auto adjust" setting, get a bright flash light, and record you pointing it at the sky. No stars.

yep, but still theres not a geographic horizon, as i say these things need to be understood an learned, but the fact is the thing you stand on, if a globe, should have a hard/physical horizon, it doesnt, all things after this can then be figured out 🙂
