In regards to the illusion(?) of choice
Here’s one for all you late night philosophers out there.
We’re all familiar with the concept of parallel realities,
right? Every time you make a decision, an alternate reality is created in which
the choice you didn’t make occurs and the consequences of that action play out.
Think of life like a set equation.
Life – Y = 42X
X
and Y are just the variables. Did you wear black or red today? Did you decide
on the GM or the Ford? Marry, fuck, or kill? All those decisions. Except X isn’t
just your decisions. It’s the decisions made by everybody, all the time.
So X
and Y are these massive functions with an assortment of functions within them.
And every single function, or every decision every one of us makes causes a
whole new parallel reality to form. And each of those realities spawn off
trillions upon trillions of other realities.
The
experience of life and the outcomes of our decisions become infinite with
possibility.
My
question:
What
happens when humanity dies off? Or when the sun novas?
No
matter what we do, and no matter how many infinite possibilities are exponentially
growing every day, ultimately there is only one outcome.
Everything
ends.
So
do you guys suppose the last man standing in every reality will be the same
person?
Or
as the equation of endless possibilities reaches its answer, will all the
realities come crashing back into one another, reemerging back into a singular
truth?
When
all of reality forms back together will it feel like waking up from a dream
within a dream within a dream?
Will
we perceive it happening or will it be as seemingly invisible and irrelevant as
the consequences of decisions we never made?
