I think I have it. It was in relation to a Multiverse debate. A guy comes home to his apartment to discover that everything he owns has been stolen and replaced with identical copies of itself. Then his friend arrives home and stares at him in alarm. “Who are you and how did you get in here”, he demands to kno…

@unseen -please recount that story about the guy who woke up to find everything he owned was replaced by identical copies of itself. (from about 7 years ago on TA)

LOL I’m going to have to depend on you or someone else because I don’t remember it. How did it go? What point was I making, if it had a point?

Let me throw a philosophical/logical wrench in the works. How can an infinitely branching system of universes be possible…[Read more]

Apparently so.

Wow, when I posted the original post, I never expected all this!

I wonder how chaos theory fits in.

I guess many would subsume this notion under the many worlds theory/hypothesis/conjecture/etc. Some people believe that whatever can happen will happen. I saw a movie recently where this was discussed and one character quipped along the line of “If that is true, is there anything more deterministic than that?”

I’m late to posting songs, but here’s one that came to mind:

There is a pressure on the individual to reproduce. Is sex the best thing ever?

I think you mean orgasms, not sex, at least for males. Rosie Palm doesn’t get pregnant, hit you up for alimony payments, nag you about the leaving the toilet seat up, or have a mother who hates your guts.

Economic recession headed our way.

DJI closed -2117.45 today. I think that’s the third time in a week of daily losses that the daily loss has been worse than -2000.

How does the pressure to acquire resources translate into a pressure to reproduce?

There’s no “pressure to reproduce.” What gives you that idea? Natural selection doesn’t operate under pressure. It is about as passive a process as could be.

There is plenty of hand sanitizer on the store shelves. At least until the public gets wind of it. Then it will be gone, too.

Find out about it here.

But non-symptomatic people buying out the face masks is a bad idea, except for those who won’t otherwise get over the habit of touching their face.

The typical kind of face mask is NOT effective for preventing exposure. It’s more useful for keeping infections from spreading from the person wearing the mask to others. I fear m…[Read more]

And of course, since we’re having to go through this with the clown President in charge, he’s spreading all kinds of wishful thinking mixed with dangerous nonsense like if you’re infected and feel up to it, you should go back to work.

People are over-reacting. All hand sanitizer seems to be sold out everywhere, even on amazon, and so is isopropyl alcohol from which you could make your own. (FYI, 70% isopropyl alcohol is equivalent to 99% rubbing alcohol, which is also sold out.)

I found something from the CDC about creating hand sanitizer from diluted bleach…[Read more]

What happens if you boogie in zero-gravity?

I like that musical choice. Still hoping to honor Unseen’s question, albeit in my eccentric way, I geeked out math/science-wise to analyze (hey oops that rhymes) to self-edumacate me-self on the riffy part I like, in that looooon bendy note on the g…
