Here's the cake...
We live in a skinner box. We have a reward system in our brain that has evolved to this cage. Nature is the experimenter. It's a local deterministic reality. Future is unpredictable.
The world is, well, a craphouse. So what do people do? They cope.
How do they cope? Ahh, lots of things:
1) Religion
2) Competition
3) Family
4) Addiction/Dependency
5) Friendship/Romance
6) Fantasy
7) Science/Psuedoscience
etc....
This whole thread about believing in timelines is an example of (6). See, I know how easy it's to enjoy a good story or a good fantasy. That's all this timeline stuff is.
I probably could have posted this somewhere else. But I don't really care where I write it. Honestly, doesn't matter to me. I just spit it out when it comes to me and it spills onto the forums.
