  • I can't answer that question but I've always wondered why anyone switches to Brave. I installed it a few years ago because I heard it was privacy focused and it immediately hit me with a bunch of shit about crypto and rewards or something. I uninstalled it immediately.

  • I'm more of an Emergent Time/Timeline Curve theory guy. The others are cool for sci-fi and stuff but I just can't conceive of that being how it works.

    Closed Loop Theory seems like too cheeky of an explanation. It's basically a bait and switch. Like: "What if you did thing? But then DIDN'T do thing!" with the answer being "actually you did but just later". To be fair though isn't the theory really just saying the universe will correct itself somehow?

    Also since you seem knowledgeable on this, something I've always wondered about: is their any theory centered around our frame of reference having a past but not a future? As in we're blazing the trail forward like an ice breaker ship for everyone else to follow? There's probably a million fundamental laws of the universe that makes that impossible.

    Sorry, I'm not very smart, but I do kinda love this stuff.

  • I've read your message and the OPs like 5 times and I still have no idea what is being described... I might be stupid.

    His future self showed his past self the lottery numbers through the open window

    Got it. We're good so far.

    but he closes the window, so his future self can't show them to his past self.

    This is what I'm stuck on. So he didn't actually? I get the irony of saying a paradox doesn't make sense but I'm not even following the thought experiment. His future self opens a window and says "Hey, get some paper and a pen, I've got some winning lottery numbers for you!" and his past self goes "Oh boy!" and then immediately CLICK (closes the portal) before ever being shown the numbers.

    Could it be restated to say he gets the numbers from his future self but then 30 years later just forgets to do the same thing for his past self?

  • Ah, that makes sense. I was familiar with the "unalive" expression from YouTube and knowing how demonetization-happy they get. But I hadn't really considered other platforms doing similar things.

  • I can understand where the fear that she'll be killed comes from, but I really don't think that's what will happen. She's too high profile, and her and the others know it. That's what's part of what makes this such a bold move. They were basically daring Israel to do something about it. There is a legitimate chance of harm coming to them, but I really expect they'll just be released in a few days.

  • I guarantee before this is all over that motherfucker will be throwing politicians into prison just for being in opposition to his fascism. They won't say that's the reason, of course.
