while the idea that we live in a computer simulation is worth thinking about for fun, a serious analysis quickly concludes that it is thoroughly debunked by the work of kurt godel. the easy way to understand godel is that it breaks the idea that the model is reality, which was disappointingly pushed heavily by stephen hawking even after godel. hawking shouldn't have made that error, but it's basically his fundamental philosophical position, and it's entirely incoherent in a post-godel framework. that said, godel really just proved what the platonists imagined thousands of years earlier (but godel didn't realize it. he hated plato.). if we live in a simulation, then the simulation is a model; it's a computer program, so it has to be inconsistent or incomplete. this is different than what godel proposed, which is that any theory of reality is inconsistent or incomplete. godel proved that you can't build a consistent and complete model of reality. but, that is exactly what a computer simulation of reality would be, so it couldn't possibly exist.

even if you could find breakdowns in space time that you could prove you can't prove exist or don't exist, and yet can observe empirically anyways, which is what would be required to exist if we live in a simulation as per godel, it still wouldn't be enough to save the idea, because the model - the simulation - could never describe everything that exists. due to godel, if we did live in a simulation, there would necessarily have to be components of reality outside of the simulation that the simulation cannot describe, which is a contradiction in terms.

you should move on from the idea. it is easily mathematically debunked with basic predicate logic.

this is more like world war one.

and i'm not dying in a fucking ditch.

the liberals seem to think this is world war two. i think they need a history lesson.

in world war two, we were aligned with the russians in a war against the germans, not the other way around.

if these pieces of shit try to conscript me, i'll burn down the fucking parliament.

i strongly disagree with this policy, and i severely reject the use of taxpayers money on killing people in eastern europe, when the government is bitching about the size of the public service. this is mismanagement on a treasonous level.

not one person should lose their job in canada to pay to fight a war in europe.

the pmo is apparently upset that they weren't invited to the ukraine thing last week. they sent the foreign minister to chat with little marco, which resulted in a phone call between carney and trump.

the purpose of the meeting was to sell weapons to ukraine by using european financing. canada wasn't invited because we had no role to play in the transaction.

did canada's government really want to help finance the ukrainian military that badly?

our government is constantly utterly clueless. we keep showing up everywhere thinking we're the real hegemon, not the americans, and we're constantly making ridiculous fools of ourselves. if the problem with trudeau was a lack of political experience and knowledge, replacing him with a complete rookie that had never run for office was hardly any sort of rational solution.

it's going to take a very long time to undo this.

trump should take note that baseball caps are known to contribute to hair loss.
