If you believe you exist, you don’t.
If you believe a shift in physical laws would kill you, it won’t.
If you believe the universe is made of physics, it will show itself not to be.
If you try to corner Weirdtopia and widdle out a logical concept or property, whatever it is, it’s already wrong.
Everything I described in this comment is wrong.
But actually you’re right.
Actually I’m wrong.
Actually wrongness and rightness are just mental concepts and have nothing to do with reality.
Actually reality doesn’t exist and all there is is my mind’s perception.
Actually my mind is the entire universe, all at once.
Actually I’m nothing.
Actually everything and nothing are just concepts and have nothing to do with reality.
Whoa, I’m in a thought loop now.
No that’s impossible.
But in weirdtopia its impossible for something to be impossible.
That’s a paradox, but it’s not.
The Sphinx: You must master your rage-Mr. Furious: Or what? My rage will become my master?The Sphinx: ….Mr. Furious: You were going to say that, weren’t you?The Sphinx: Um...not necessarily...
To cease to exist is to exist again.
To believe “if I believe I exist, then I will cease to exist” will render your opposite expectation.
