    There reason there is something instead of nothing is survivorship bias. Since nothing is nothing, including no time, there will ALWAYS be something because nothing can’t exist outside of something.

      Ok, but why is there something to experience survivorship bias? Why is any of this at all instead of just not anything?

      This particular flavour of survivorship bias is also called the anthropic principle

      Your consciousness is something though. This doesn’t answer the question as it assumes your consciousness has to exist, to experience survivorship bias. Why is there anything, including tour consciousness, rather than nothing? And your scenario, where there is nothing and something, and your consciousness is in the something, presumes a reality with something. So if doesn’t answer the question. It’s like someone asking ‘why does 1+1=2’ and you say ‘because 0+1+1=2’

      Yes of course. Its just that, when that happens, all the atoms start falling apart, or clumping together.

      Things that weren’t radioactive before? Now they are. Iron in your blood? Radioactive.

      This is, of course, sub-optimal.

    Why do all of his sessions end in entropy.

    … I don’t even understand his euphemisms any more
