I definitely agree. The universe being almost certainly deterministic, there is also a 100% chance of everything that has ever happened happening.
It's still useful to think as if different people could have been born in different circumstances. You could think of it as a mental shorthand for the idea that differences between human beings are arbitrary, and it makes no sense to argue that a human inherently deserves an impoverished life over another human.
- akvadrako 10y agoI still think you're making a categorical error. "being human" isn't a privileged class that inherently deserves something. That way of thinking becomes really messy fast in terms of drawing concrete rules. It also seems a bit homo-centric coming from a human. BTW, I think we do have genuine subjective probability, even though the universe is deterministic.
