But that's a dangerous slope, you have to decide for yourself if you are ready to accept this, as it will change your life forever.
I still don't understand why you think all this is such a big deal.
Change my life forever how? Will I no longer need to eat, sleep or breathe? Will I be able to quit my job and live in peace no matter where I go with total disregard to what anyone else thinks?
If you are interested in this and your mind is in a perfect mental condition - go ahead, see for yourself both sides of the story.
Why would a mind need to be in perfect mental condition? What practical difference does any of this make?
Isn't a cloud of mathematical waves of possibilities, that talks, eats, walks, thinks, dreams, sings, falls in love, etc.... Supernatural?
And what is the big deal of redefining "natural" to be exactly this?
Or say we discover that everying is controlled by "magic" that follows the rules that an "overseer" types into a computer? This isn't a big deal either. I still need to eat, sleep and breathe. My life really isn't altered in any practial way whatsoever.
What "mind-blowing change" are you actually proposing to be possible?
I certainly agree it's fascinating, and interesting, and incredible. But I think your faith in the ability of humans to adapt is equally low if you think such knowledge would actually bring any significant portion of the population to tears.
If you simply have a problem with being wrong about certain assumptions you've made in your life about the existence of this reality... I don't really see why you think this is such a big issue.
