Oh no, I agree it's entirely unfalsifiable. Just an interesting thought experiment.
Falsifiability aside, what I'm saying is that we either live in that world already, or in a fully contained subset of it.
You wot mate?
isn't this just 'brain in a jar' and 'last thursdayism' blended up together and brought to a boil? this is some high-octane new-age hadalpelagic pseudocosmological nonsense. well done!
Definitely. But you should take your medication BEFORE posting, not after.
This was better than 80% of the questions we get here, IMO.
Definitely. But you should take your meditation BEFORE posting, not after.
What? How could I have meditated after posting and still posted?
