It really might though. There could be a false vacuum. And yet, here I am, drawing conclusions constantly.
- danbruc 5y agoBut considering vacuum decay is not the same as allowing arbitrary things. And I didn't mean concluding which job offer to take which is hardly affected by the nature of the vacuum. If you, for example, seriously consider that physical laws might change any moment, this should probably influence your decisions. If you see it as some purely theoretical possibility with probability ten to ten to the ten to the... then you can ignore it for all practical purposes, if you think it happens with fifty percent probability in the next hour might be worth considering.

- danbruc 5y agoBut not rational ones.
- tomlockwood 5y agoSo what you're saying, then, is that if objective reality doesn't exist, it's not possible to make rational decisions. Please, prove objective reality, exists. If you're not capable of making rational decisions, because the universe isn't objective, any proof you produce is irrational, but you may still claim to have proven objective reality exists, on account of the irrationality. It seems that we both agree that its not possible for people in non-objective realities to rationally decide objective reality exists!
