If it’s truly a feline take: “I exist with unwavering confidence in the context of all which came before me. I resent you questioning the concept through which you question me.”

Well well well, looks like we got one of them Church of Last Tuesday folks here...

Excuse me?! I'm in the Church of Last Thursday, thankyouverymuch. Those heretical Last Tuesdayists are going to face consequences for their lack of faith.

Apologies, I am but a mere subgenius and did not know any better.

I exist within the context of Last Thursday. It's called Last Thursdayism.

Not me, I'm sure that I just fell out of a coconut tree.

You should complain to the manager.

Your memories of this "context" could have been altered. Maybe this instance of reality just started (and as such there is no context)

Memories being given as an input to the system are themselves context

[–] Dave@lemmings.world 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

So it doesn't matter if the past really is real, if you think they are real, they matter?

[–] upto60percentoff@kbin.run 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The act of inserting this context into the system is itself context, so I'm still existing in the context of what came before

If somebody tricks you and you fall for it, it doesn't mean what you were tricked into believing isn't context, or that the fact you were tricked at all isnt context.

Yeah.. alright, I'm too drunk for this

[–] Dufurson@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

That's basically the Boltzmann brain thought experiment: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_brain

Sounds like a round thing to contemplate.

[–] CodexArcanum@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Like some sort of sphere upon which to speculate...

Based and coconut-pilled.
