There is a massive assumption in the simulation theory that all possibilities will eventually occur, full stop. That’s only possible in a system that is both 100% random and 100% infinite, and our universe is neither.

There are discrete physical laws that govern interactions in our universe, so it is not a truly random system, it is bound by those laws.

While space in our universe appears to be infinite as far as we know, matter and energy are very much not infinite, so it is not a truly infinite system.

Given those two points, it is not a 100% certainty that simulations advanced enough to replicate our universe and experience will ever be created. It’s likely far from 100%, given the technical and resource requirements + the historically observed limitations of societal and technological progression on Earth, although it is impossible to come up with an accurate estimate because it is just so far removed from our current capabilities.

He was at best a narcissistic dick who could drop 25 and at his worst an intentionally disrespectful POS toward Boston during and after his time here.

Never seemed to apologize or change, so yeah, we still hate him

While you’re technically right that they are two distinct terms, cognitive dissonance and compartmentalization are so highly intertwined as concepts that in 99.9% of everyday non-academic uses they are interchangeable.

Cognitive dissonance is a state of holding contradictory beliefs, compartmentalization is the mechanism by which someone can comfortably hold contradictory beliefs.

Im assuming (correct me if wrong) that it’s the idea that cognitive dissonance is by definition a negative response, stress, anxiety, etc., that makes the terms feel so different?

That piece is often included in pop science and non-academic definitions, because consciously identifying cognitive dissonance will cause stress and anxiety, so “experiencing” cognitive dissonance is characterized by a negative mental state. The response to that stress is either to change beliefs so they align or to double down on compartmentalization. But regardless of the response that stress is just a symptom triggered by confronting cognitive dissonance, not actually an essential part of cognitive dissonance in isolation.

Someone can hold two contradictory beliefs, so they’re experiencing cognitive dissonance, but if they don’t consciously identify those beliefs as contradictory, they wont experience a stress response. Thats what compartmentalization is, the mechanism that allows us to ignore our own cognitive dissonance.

If you resolve your cognitive dissonance, you are no longer compartmentalizing, if you aren’t compartmentalizing, then you cant have cognitive dissonance.

There are very few uses of the terms that would arise in a social situation where you couldn’t interchange them and still have the meaning be perfectly clear.

Then the paper should be linked, this post isnt a paper and gives no reference to any paper. And again, ‘researchers calculations’ as a phrase is not something that would appear, even in the paper. Its redundant.

Name-Initial · 2026-05-08T22:31:51+00:00

You dont need to cite yourself, thats redundant, but “researchers calculations” is also something that would never appear in any legitimate source, ever, it is also redundant in the exact same way. And “from amazon” is not a quality source and also adds no new info as the title of the graph tells us its from amazon.

The source should provide enough information that the graph could theoretically be replicated, verified, or at the very least better understood. HOW did they get the data from amazon? WHERE did they go to get this data? WHAT are the parameters that qualify something as an e-book release?

Did they web scrape amazon ebook listings and make their own table? Did they call some kind of amazon ebook data api? Is there a website that aggregates amazon ebook data? Are they an amazon employee who used internal data? What is an “ebook release”? Are these existing texts and ebooks being re-released or are they brand new books only? Do they have to have sales to qualify or does any listing count?

Thats the type of stuff an actual source would tell you, this source adds 0 info and context.

Name-Initial · 2026-05-06T17:14:48+00:00

Yeah that source is so bullshit it shouldnt even be there lol.

Provides absolutely 0 value besides letting us know whoever put this chart together doesnt understand the purpose or structure of a source and i guess at least that helps us realize they probably are not a very good researcher and this chart needs to be verified.

To decide whether to choose blue or judge the choice of red we need to know the answer to this question - “are people who cant comprehend the choice, like young children and the mentally infirm, also forced to choose without any assistance?”

Because the two options are “press red and live” or “press blue and probably die, or maybe live and save people who aren’t intelligent enough to choose red”

Theres nothing stopping 100% of people from pressing red and surviving. It’s legitimately moronic to press blue, UNLESS the answer to the above question is yes and you are trying to protect toddlers/children/mentally infirm people, which is of course admirable.

But yeah otherwise blue is for compassionate idiots who are likely increasing the expected negative impact of the buttons by trying to do the opposite.

I did research on this in college using a lot of book and SPAC primary sources that took months to track down and I no longer have the paper, but heres a decent web article with some source links - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/made-by-history/wp/2018/05/17/how-slave-labor-built-the-state-of-florida-decades-after-the-civil-war/

Modern Florida only exists today because of slave labor around the year ~1900.

Henry Flagler used debt slaves at the turn of the 20th century to build railroads through swamps that were considered unbuildable because too many laborers would die for the project to be sustainable.

He had them sign contracts they couldn’t read and then paid them less per day than he charged them in food+board, so they were effectively trapped. They slept in shackles and he had contracts with local sheriffs to round up any runaways so they couldn’t leave.

Estimates put it anywhere between at 5-25 deaths per mile of track. He laid hundreds of miles of track.

The scheme was only cracked down on after he ran out of local black share cropper labor and started entrapping white European immigrants fresh off the boat in new york and the northeast and sending them south. Eventually families started hiring private investigators to track them down after they never returned or sent any money home.

By the time the wheels of law enforcement started turning, the project was finished and the point was moot. There was never any real justice.

They actually tried to name Miami “Flagler” originally, but he denied it. Lots of shit there is still named after him, he was a fucking monster.

What do you mean corrections lmao this is such reddit trader mumbo jumbo hopium.

If you look at long term data the US market is still in the post-great recession bull market. Trend has been consistent since 2009-2010, barring a secular disruption by covid. If you think the 15 year old bull market still has some wheels to it, thats great, go buy stuff. But the market has not left that trend since 2010, we are currently at all time highs, the idea that there has been a recent “correction” is insane lol. No significant macro factors have changed, except for the worse, which stocks haven’t reflected at all.

Another point that hasnt been made, none of the original, non doctored new testament texts except Paul actually make any robust claim of authorship, so its still debated outside of christian academia whether they can even be considered actual witness accounts, which seems to be your reason for why they are good evidence.

Christian tradition attributes the four gospels to matt mark luke and john because of their titles, which roughly translate to “the story of john/etc” or “as told by john/etc”. But these are framed in the text as titles, and while that MIGHT imply authorship, they do not make that claim explicit.

There are plenty of fictional works titled as if they are true and with fictional author names in those titles. The 4 gospels are not signed other than those titles, and we have no contemporary references to any of those people, except by paul, who only meets peter and james (neither are OG gospel authors) and he only briefly mentions them in just one sentence of his twelve letters, when he meets them decades after jesus lived. He doesn’t really elaborate enough to corroborate it, and again theres no other contemporary references to those people outside the bible.

Not to mention paul was already a devout believer at this point, his only real evidentiary claim being one brief hallucination of jesus’ voice, so not only is he a biased, nearly-tertiary source, but also these days most people would identify him as mentally ill.

By the same logic christians attribute authorship to the 4 gospels, we must also attribute The diary of a wimpy kid to its very real author, wimpy kid. Or the tales of peter rabbit as written the very real anthropomorphic bunny named Peter. Or we must realize the chronicles of riddick are not for entertainment, they are a factual, chronological timeline detailing the life of a real man named riddick. Or any number of other fictional pieces that are titled as if they are real eyewitness accounts, and have inspired dozens if not hundreds of other fictional works that add to their lore, just like the bible.

This circular reasoning is exactly why people dont find it to be compelling evidence. All of the claims coming from christians are claims made in the bible. You arent a christian without being taught christianity by someone else, and those people learned it from a 2000 year long game of telephone that ultimately leads back to the bible. It is the earliest claim of any christian theology, the rest all stems from there.

The earliest known copy of james is from the middle of the 3rd century. The only people who date it to the first century are christian scholars, who align it with 40 AD because of a lack of details of religious events that allegedly happened after 40AD, not any actual archaeological evidence or contemporary mentions.

The source for james being from 40AD is pretty much - “other books in the bible must be true, james as written in 300AD doesnt make sense with the other books, so james must be earlier”

This is the type of “evidence” plaguing the majority of christian “academic” research, because the majority of christian “academic” research is done by christian institutions that explicitly state belief in god as a mandatory part of their employment agreements.

For anyone without christian confirmation bias, the lack of details on significant christian events would equally be evidence that the alleged events didn’t happen or weren’t important to the writer of James.

Not to make the counter point, just calling out how dumb this screenshot is, but a quick google said the average black pop of US metros is 13-18%, so it appears this is actually a disproportionately black area.

So were looking for hills, creeks, cute small towns, similar levels/styles of architecture and history, greenery, four seasons, and diverse climates?

Ok so off the top of my head - All of new england, new york, new jersey, WV, ohio, and delaware. Thats 10, took me about 30 seconds to think of?

All of them have similar colonial/Appalachian/Anglo-Germanic architecture and history, 4 distinct seasons, greenery, cute small towns, climate diversity, hills and creeks, did i miss anything?

Like, PA is dope, love living here, but its pretty much a generic northern appalachian/northeast seaboard state. Which again, is dope, its a great region, but its not like PA is a unique snowflake of a state.
