Determinism be like: You are safely traveling along THE ONLY WAY.
That kinda makes worrying about anything sound really dumb, doesn’t it?
But you’ll worry anyway, as your anxiety is a product of your biochemistry, which is governed by deterministic processes.
First of all is determinism not proven and may be/get disproven by quantum mechanics.
Second of all it also validates your suffering because it’s seen as a determined thing to happen so that may give you some solice.
I recommend taking a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbow_Room_(Dennett_book)?wprov=sfla1
It makes absolutely no difference if you think about it. It’s not like choices are made for you even if the universe is determindric. If the world is or isn’t deterministic it’s not like anything would meaningfully be different - things would still be unpredictable to us. In an indeterministic universe randomness would play a part in outcomes, but that’s worthless to us. This meme is about choices anyways, randomness or determinism doesn’t matter in the end.
Ah, nice! Almost didn’t have my existential crisis today, thanks for the reminder.
Dust fills my eyes
Clouds roll by and I roll with them
Centuries cry
Orders fly and I fall againTaking ALL of the paths was never really an option though. Celebrate all the new paths that opened because of the one you chose instead of dwelling on the ones you didn’t.
remain ignorant
Good for you that you didn’t take that lower path cut short.
Who’s to say any of those other paths would have been any better or worse than your current path?

Fuck.
Just say no.
Don’t exchange 80% for that sweet 20.My gf thinks she’s hot too. 99% sure we’re going to have a threesome if i don’t change course. And that will almost certainly blow up in my face.
But… 😭
You control what happens. If you don’t want it to, then it won’t.
You know how it will end. Only you can decide if it’s worth it.
I wish I had your problems.
Ask your gf why does she hate you to make you go through this. Hopefully that will snap her back to sanity.
Cool. So can you offer me a job? I’ll do anything as long as I can afford to take care of my family.
Cypher: Ignorance is bliss
You can’t change what has already happened. Learn from it, analyze it, but don’t dwell on it for too long.
There is always a tomorrow. The feelings of today don’t have to influence the feelings of tomorrow, next week, or next month.
Looks like one of those chaos curves mathematicians analyse.
What the fuck is that
Was that Schopenhauer or Kierkegaard?
Close, it’s a cat.
I’ve accepted my lot in life. It’ll take a lot for me to change my thoughts. I am what I am and though I wish it would it’s not gonna change.
Maybe start meditating. I know this is like, stupid random advice thrown at you from who knows where on the Internet, but it is definitely a journey worth starting.
