Food for thought.
Because things aren’t repeating?
Phil? Phil Connors.
Unless you’re in a very long loop. You just haven’t gotten to the loop point yet.
Yeah, but that basically means your entire life is the loop, making this just another silly idea about the afterlife. Though, not as silly as some of religious ones.
Unless it’s not your entire life and you’re in your first forty-year loop. You hit 60, wake up and you’re 20 again
When I’m high i think my like it game and I’ll wake up to find that I’m 12. I make my husband promise to do everything exactly the same, even the stupid stuff, so we end up together. Ridiculous, but makes total sense to weed brain.
I think this obviously implies that your brain is getting reset each loop, in which case you wouldn’t be aware of anything repeating.
But if your brain is getting reset, then really your reality is, so its not so much of a loop as infinite new realities.
Woke
but what if you’re actually a slave? forced to work each day anew, with no memory of the previous day. i wouldn’t call that “your infinite new realities” because those realities aren’t really yours, as they don’t provide you a place for you at all.
Are you implying I’m not the hero that realizes it and breaks us all out? How dare you!
Being “The One” is like being in love. No one can tell you you’re in love, you just know it, balls to bones.
This is where I say "Hmmm that’s interesting.
That’s when you say…
Wait, weren’t we talking about spoons?
Sorry, I’m all out of heroine.
Well, then it’s just an unknowable not much different from the afterlife.
What if the repeat starts right after the point where you die?
Then you wouldn’t have any memory but you would be stuck in the loop.
u don’t! i just saw this video the other day, time itself might not be real anyway:

all u know is u experience stuff and then u think they are in a continuum when u could be in an infinite loop of no time
So the loop would “start” and “end” with my birth and death, right?
Wouldn’t be so bad.
I don’t need a time loop to suck
The last 25000 times nothing happened, so I’m pretty sure nothing will happen tonight.
This hypothetical affects nothing about my life so I’m with the 🤷♀️ gang.
I mean how do you know if your memories are even real and you didn’t just get Men-In-Black flashed with the Neurolyzer thingy and that’s why you are a paycheck-to-paycheck wage slave instead of being a multibillionaire CEO like you used to be until you got couped?
Or how do you know your parents are your real parents and you didn’t just get lost/kidnapped as a child? (especially before dna tests)
How do you know we’re not in a time loop so long you can live entire lifetimes inside of it?
I mean in scifi someone in a time loop remembers the period and thus knows they are in one. If you don’t know you are not in one or at least not in one of your own.
As long as I don’t know, I don’t care.
Well, every days ground hog day.
I don’t and it doesn’t matter. Now is all there is anyway.
Because the same exact shit doesn’t keep happening every single day.
Maybe I am and it’s what religions call rebirth or life after death and in that case I couldn’t care less, but I do have memories of yesterday and the days before that, so I’m kinda pretty sure there’s nothing loopy going on here.
Philosophers have reasoned that if the universe is infinite, as it appears to some that it might be, then every permutation of all possible configurations of matter and energy will occur infinitely many times. Therefore, everything that happens now will have happened before, and will happen again.
I don’t see how any utopia could make up for the universes where people are literally tortured their entire lives. Such a multiverse must not be allowed to exist.
