[QUOTE=Contag;29906059]Exactly, the most appropriate response is that it is possible, all you being a fifty foot invisible cyborg is as valid the idea that the world does not exist and is simulation, as is the idea there is an afterlife.[/QUOTE]
Uh...no, the appropriate response is "until you see a reason to believe in any of that bullshit, don't", not "Anything is possible, so I may as well believe in whatever the fuck I want."
I mean I'm glad you're reasonable and don't believe in it but I don't like this idea that people who do get to be excused or ignored because it doesn't matter, when it kinda does. People believing in silly shit like a second chance at life affects their actions in this one.
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;29904940]Not having arbitrary measurement precision doesn't really affect that but unprovable theorems sure might.[/QUOTE]
But again an unprovable theorem isn't something like a physical limit, it's part of an abstraction describing a physical or abstract system. They don't have that big an implication on our understanding of the universe so much as the language used to describe and our methods of observing and analyzing the universe.
Unless you're going meta and pulling one of these "the incompleteness theorem should apply to people's brains" arguments or something near to.
[QUOTE=AK'z;29911042]There is a convincing possibility that merely our existence is moved on. [/QUOTE]
Im not going to say im an expert but no there isn't. Well logically anyway.

My argument is a combination of that - "Anything is possible, but until you see a reason to believe in it, don't, and even if you do, leave that supernatural shit until after you're dead because you're probably wrong anyway"
Stephen Hawking lies a fuck-ton. Intelligent people lie a lot more than the average person, or they know why intelligent people lie.
Don't believe anything an intelligent person tells you. They're likely just using you. You idiot.

I have moderated Facepunch for a year and 9 months and I've been on it almost 6 years total and this is definitely a contender for worst post ever in that time.

if he considers himself intelligent, does he believe he lies to himself?
That's just what I was thinking. He pretty much either just called himself a liar or he called himself stupid. Either way it's hard to take his assertion seriously.
[QUOTE=Chopstick;29892501]That's a moral issue, some think its a good idea to kill other people - no the real reason I don't go around murdering people is because of the law.[/QUOTE]
So you're really a cold-blooded killer? I'm pretty sure most people don't go around killing and stealing is because they would actually feel terrible about doing those things.

I hear an awful lot of, "People only do the right thing to stay out of jail!" I give these people a wide berth.

It's a psychedelic theory. Stop logically taking that to heart.
logic is overrated

It's partially true for a lot of things, but definitely not murder. Usually.

Its not a theory if it isnt based on logic.

I just said psychedelic. :colbert:
How is this even news? Didn't Hawking announce that he didn't believe in God like a year ago?
Next year: "HAWKING DISMISSES UNICORNS AS 'CHILDISH'! UNICORNIST GROUPS OFFENDED!"
Stephen Hawking needs Jesus!

Again still not a theory. By definition a theory is based on logical proof.

If were going to have a discussion about science and logic he should be able to get his terms straight or else he will think something spouted out by some hippy on drugs is just as viable as a theory in physics.
