Hello again Agobot.
I guess what Percy and Rahvin are trying to say here is that it doesn't matter what QM implies, the experiences we have in our lives are still as real as it gets for us.
An apple still tastes like an apple, when you drink alcohol you get drunk, when you cut yourself you bleed, wheter QM is true or not, this still happens as before.
When I first heard about some of the things QM implies, I was not "shocked" I was amazed and wondered how all this could be, but I was never shocked. Why would I be, my life doesn't change one bit now that I know it, and neither does anyone else's. Unless they get a bit too obsessed with it and go insane.
This seems to tie in nicely with most of the other threads you posted here in the past days. It seems you are distraught that there is no "purpose" to this life, and I asked you this before, I'm asking aain now. Why would there have to be a purpose for this life? I'm quite happy being insignificant, why can't you be?

Re: Ignoring decoherence, for the win
Nice descriptions there Modulous, I'm more of the:
2. Wow, that's crazy. What does that mean? What do you mean we don't know? Are you telling me that this is just the way it is? Hmm, oh well - why did I expect to understand what the underlying nature of the cosmos actually means?
kind myself, except that I do think we can understand what the underlying nature of the cosmos actually means. The lack of understanding in that area is due to a lack of education, not due to a lack of capability, I think.
As for people that think like this:
1. Holy Crap, then that means there is no objective reality, consciousness is key, time travel is possible, we are gods in our own minds, blink and its all gone!
I remember a movie that kind of dealt with it in that way, it was called "What the bleep do we know" and frankly, I found it very stupid in the things it claimed. But for those that are interested, I'm sure it can be found somewhere.

Re: Prophecy faster than light communication!

God already knew every decision your going to make in the future even before you were born and its not a simulation due God allotted you a free will meaning the decision is yours.
Yes, we all know God's a right bastard for creating people. I mean, he knew that if he'd do it terrible thing like the two world wars and the holocaust would happen, and he thought...."ah what the hell, let's do it anyway." And alloting a free will and knowing up front what someone decides takes away that free will. You KNOW what he'll do, so it's not a free will, now is it?
How can faster than light communiction not be possible given the evidence you have in prophecy.
You can't have fatser then light comunications because radiowaves travel at the speed of light. Furthermore, there is NO evidence in ANY prophecy, in fact I have yet to see ANY of them be fulfilled.
The past told thousands of years before it happened.
Would you be so kind as to point me to where this is foretold, can't seem to find it. By the way, this is off-topic here, so you might want to do it in another thread.
Like Israel prophesy was it would be rerooted in the promised lands 1948 yet written thousands of years before happening.
Really? Curiously I can't find anywhere where it says that. Sure, it talks about Israel returning and stuff, it never mentions that this will be the 1948 event.
Its called prophecy God communicating the future from the past to our present point in prophetic time.
And yet in all his wisdom he forgot to mention this chap named Hitler comming along and killing six million of his chosen people..... Nice fellow this god.
