Its all a projection on you, and you exist. At least an experience exists, though I doubt there is a physical ‘you’ unless we consider that to be the consciousness, but that can also be broken down into other factors. We are left with an undeniable reality of being, but there is no way to say what that is.
If its like this world then surely its ‘like attracts like’, and so you would get a similar birth. There is an equal chance it could be random, especially when we consider that your birth could be good and then your life could get shit ~ due to unforeseen circumstances etc.
I think rebirth is ridiculous, but then again so is the world and hence its creator if it has one.
I think we have discussed your other points elsewhere, but you didn’t reply or notice some things [as usual].
Only the day itself is repetitive, the man’s behavior can be whatever he wants making everyday largely different. Initially, it’s all repetitive, until he realizes it gives him an infinite immortality then he starts to really live, going to extremes, converting the negative repetition into a positive security…had it not been for the day repeating over and over, all the other days after that, ironically would of been more repetitive, thus never really living…or realizing
not really an accurate model of reality.
Its wrong for two reasons.
One, I might want to ump off a bridge, just for the hell of it, but then I dont die and I fracture my spine and have to be in the hospital for a long amount of time. I dont get an instant reset like GTA Groundhog day where he can beat his cheating ex wife and rape anyone woman he wants with no consequences, because its GTA groundhog day.
Second, if you have no consequences, you have hedonism GTA syndrome, where exciting things become boring because you have Godmode and theres no riskreward mechanism to make the game interesting.
Yeah, it wasn’t based on reality, i was just talking about the movie, in some sense it can be an extension of suicidal expression in continuation. Although it can be based upon reality if you factor in reincarnation, changing the day to life, but that is not certain. I’m not sure if it better or worse than reality, it seems repetitive, or there is a repetitive nature to it, but in reality you slowly die, which i think is the problem, not the repetitive nature in itself, but the fact that you slowly deteriorate within repetition. It’s like old age is similar to insomnia, where insomnia the body is tired, but the mind wont switch off, and old age where the mind wants to switch off but the body just doesn’t die, so they wait, they warm their body’s by the fire before they take the final leap, or sit in shopping centres feeling apart of the social scene, in some kind of trance like comfort holding onto a lost youth. Everything becomes simple, or returns to being simple…depth has passed them, or they have passed the attempt at depth, i guess they are no longer trying to live in terms of discovery and wonder, but wish to prolong a simple comfortable day over and over, as long as they can.
I think if you stimulate your mind now and build an understanding based upon reality and preserve an interactive memory of it all, then you can possibly avoid the mundane reality of old age.
Ill tell you what, nothings gonna be mundane about my old age, lol! My grandpa was quite an adventurer in his old age. When you’re old, what the hell do you got to lose?
It doesn’t even have to be based upon reality actually, im pretty sure madness is more interesting and fun than typical mundane old age, this is probably why nature rewards old people with dementia. It’s like the brain has abandoned the person’s conscious control because they didn’t do the brain justice in terms of stimulation, the brain takes it upon itself and has a blast, leaving everything else behind. I don’t blame the brain for doing that. I’m pretty sure not giving a fuck about dying allows you to actually live longer (depending on what you do), but more specifically in thought, reduced worry and anxiety, which is usually natural for older people. My grandpa is in his 80s, he still works out a little bit and drinks cider regularly, no illness, no baldness, not even receding hairlines, still fairly aware with a sense of humor…it’s fairly impressive. He’s not really adventurous though, he’s a hermit like me.
Personally, survivalism seems interesting and fun, it’s like facing the ultimate reality, no security, you adapt and grow. I have always had this natural affinity to the wild, so maybe one day i will pursue it, i will porbaby go teh camper van route first, to get my feet wet, then full force into nature and never return to the civilized world, i will do this when my mother passes away, and that is where i will die as a final resting place.
This is of course requires a certain level of acceptance of death though, which I think is natural for all people as they age, whether it is realized or not. This is a good thing in my mind, it allows you to be free, free from freedom itself, it’s like facing the universe in preparation, or just rediscovering what reality was like before the conditioning of humans into the sheltering. Last year, I went to a local beach with a friend at midnight, something i have never done, it was so unusually different from the daytime, the sea’s darkness had a great depth to it, and you can slightly see and hear the crashing waves, the coldness was perfect. It was real and amazing, but it pulls you into reality, it lets you know how mortal you are. It was rather thrilling. It makes you want more and more, you feel super lost at first, perhaps the idea of all this is to comes to terms with your mortality is relation to the world, the world being the like some kind of comparison operator between you and your own death. Some people have to return to reality in order to appreciate the modern civilized world, if they ever make it back.
I am not sure if non-sheltered organisms can ever become sentient. Not enough congestion. Time goes too fast, sentience may not ever pickup a non-negligible value.
The mirrors in the picture I posted are not needed but very useful as metaphor. An observer does not need to look into a mirror in order to observe another observer. The picture I posted stands for the endless loop or the circle when an observer observes an observer … and so on.
Ah, interesting pov. An observation in relativistic terms is a specific event, and particles don’t have mirrors. However, I take your point that there is the third person perspective, wherein there are a general set of observations, and not as per relativistic particular instances.
Your point actually is yet another element of reasoning which suggests quantum strangeness – via quantum connectivity [mirrors].
at base there are only observers and their behaviours [particles and forces], the things which don’t observe, like rocks, are composed of things which do.
however, it is also true that causally macroscopic objects make effect without observing, like if the rock falls on an observers head. you are perhaps right, in that quite a large chunk of causality is not the product of observers and their behaviours, that is if in every quantum refresh it isn’t that which is making the changes, and we only observed a perceived effect in the macroscopic for example. hmm actually that’s getting into matrix philosophy territory, where here I was only aiming at the possible effect of an observation making the observed physically real or otherwise apparent.
