ok i concur taxes only need to be payed in some form if we want to live in a stable and civil society - death indeed is an illusion, i can even
explain why....
The many possible worlds that exist for every action all exist, we all know about cats in boxes and that if no one knows it isn't a fact - well how
about this, i have three options - the lift could fall, it could work well or it could explode. These three things all happen, however as i'm killed
in two of them i can't know what happens next thus the only one in which i am able to acknoledge its existence is the one in which i survive, thus i
always survive.
cogito ergo sum, i think therefore i am - indeed we can only ever know that we do indeed think, no one that asked the question do i think has ever
been able to honestly give a no answer. Stop thinking and you aren't aware that you don't exist, thus that which is us - our thinking ability will
always carry on thinking because it can't do anything else.
of course i could test this theory with a tall building but i don't think that's a good idea - hehe maybe thats what proves it? because i can't
think it's a good idea because then i would die and i can't die because then i couldn't think and thus i alaways have to think its a bad idea, a
form of positive determanism.
We've seen quantom physics debating weather cern is doomed due to future ripples, is it that it's impossible to collide hadrons with such force
because it would end the world and thus it's an experiment that can never be done- maybe a thousand years later i'll still be alive thinking about
how crazy it is that no one in a thousand years has ever mananaged to colide hadrons, how implausably lucky i've been and how dull life eternal
really is.
Alas this doesn't help you, or rather my knowledge of you, because other people can die to me - only he who holds the I is imortal, in their own
timeline they're still going strong though - a comforting thought at least.
while this theory is clearly nonsense no one can ever prove it false or know it to be not true, for any time you can think to answer the question the
statement is proved right.
