  • The metaphysical identity problem is a slippery slope of existential dread. It starts with Theseus asking if his ship is the same one after he replaces every one of it’s planks. It accelerates to asking if we would be the same person after being teleported. It ends with us laying awake in bed terrified that this moment is our last because maybe we’re a different consciousness when we wake up.






  • It really depends on the topic for me. Friend who’s whole world is MTG and can talk about it for days on end? I humor them as long as I can but I am not into deck builders and my mind goes numb. Girlfriend who has enough deep medical knowledge to test right out of a premed program? Incredibly enriching, like listening to a satisfying podcast, sit me in a comfy chair and feed it to my ears. But I always do listen, because I infodump too.

    Oh I didn’t mean to refer to hidden variables. I think there’s just a fatal superfluence of available variables. Rather than an inability to know, the problem is an inability to know everything all at once.

    The Bell Test is still a cool proof though.
