      thanks this is the silliest thing I’ve seen passed for science in recent memory

      This specific theory would be irrelevant materially too, correct? Because you wouldn’t be able to detect what the universe “knows” without woo woo magic. In fact wouldn’t the end result just be some sort of other explanation but with “works due to natural laws” replaced with “a physics wizard did it”?

        Oh yeah it wouldn’t change a god damn thing, arguing about it would be literally pointless. Same thing as arguing against free-will, either it exists or it doesn’t. Debating it is pointless, finding out one way or the other is pointless since in both cases nothing changes.

          the only way free will is relevant to debate or things like this are relevant to debate is if it’s the kind that has a puppet master making us do stuff AND it’s possible for us to kill them
