An addition to David's last thought in "Poker Gaming and Life"

[eeeguy]

Who here agrees with the idea (not belief to stress Kevin Smith's, Rufus the 13th Apostle played by Chris Rock in Domga, since its easier to change an idea) that the act of simple events such as blinking, taking time out to post here, or dropping your keys before you start a car changes the outcome of all LIFE. Because if i hadnt done these things i wouldve died in a car crash and wouldve have grown up to whatever or interact with whomever, but since they happend i wasnt there at that time to pass on.

No. I think Leibniz puts it better: To have done anything differently you would have needed to be inside a different monad. To be inside the monad you are means to do what you have done and been able to do no other.

Ideas that can't be tested seem pointless to me.

Then what makes an action meaningful? Financial gain, Spiritual enlightenment, Human advancement ??? What?

Both of my older brothers in seperate situations saved me from certain death. Why was I saved twice when others are run over, blown up, beheaded in arabian sandboxes?

I don't know. Maybe it was for me to someday save the world. In the meantime, I've been waiting for the "call" by getting divorced from the bich from hell, working for lousy bosses and reading Sklansky's posts about god and religion... [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Financial gain. Don't you understand? This whole friggin
twoplustwo forum is about mastering the art of
mercantilism.

Capitalism at its best, nothing more, nothing less.

Isn't this the same question as that thread about how the outcome of the hands would be different if they didn't burn a card?

What's the difference?
