  • It’s called a looped timeline pair. Timeline 1 creates timeline 2, and timeline 2 creates timeline 1. Both timelines exist on an alternating basis. It’s one of the results of the bootstrap paradox. When people think of the bootstrap paradox, they usually think of single looped timelines. Those appear in media all the time. Harry Potter, Gargoyles, etc. But an unstable set of timelines can also stabilise across two, three, or more timelines instead of just one.

    Out of the infinite versions of you in the multiverse, half win the lottery and half don’t. Which one your consciousness inhabits is pure luck.


  • That’s because anthropologically, realism is pretty new. The idea of a single objective truth to encapsulate the whole universe was an idea invented by the Romans. And everyone knows what the Romans did to religious diversity in Europe. Most cultures in the history of the world have to some degree acknowledged the subjectivity of perception and the self-contradictory nature of “objective truth”.

    I’m part of a political movement that opposes Roman/Abrahamic style realism. We believe it’s the cause of the crusades, slavery, the nakba, the holocaust, the witch trials, and all of history’s other greatest atrocities. True freedom will only come when we are free to perceive differently than those in authority. To live in a different perceptual universe.

    All that being said, this isn’t really anything you can live by. At least I can’t. Most metaphysics are so much shit on a prick and untestable.

    Oh, I live by anarcho-antirealism, and it’s been very helpful in My life. For example, I used chaos magic to cure My girlfriend’s sleep apnea - https://medium.com/@viridiangrail/curing-sleep-apnea-with-magic-vi-s-spellbook-d1c6f1658cdb

    Here’s a theroy: holding power and wealth in modern society may not be strongly correlated with an accurate view of objective reality but is strongly correlated in strongly believing you have an accurate view of objective reality

    I actually disagree with this as well. The rich and powerful certainly act like they believe in reality, because it’s a useful tool for them. But they don’t truly believe. They correctly understand the scientific fact that perception is belief, and so they manipulate public belief through the news media to rewrite the universe in their favour. Rupert Murdoch is probably the person who understands and practices this the best. His news empire rewrites consensus reality to favour Capital. This is bad, and we need antirealism so we can take this power away from the rich and “seize the means of perception”.
