every waking moment of your life is a choice. Are you making the right choices?

I'm eatrinng malt-o-meal for dinner because im poor and spent my 20s being a useless NEET instead of actually getting myself into a good financial position.

>>81549033 (OP)
Hrm prove choice exists though
No cheating and using the axiom of choice

>>81549033 (OP)
nope, i knew i was fucked a long time ago. like middle school. 32 now. NEET. never even had a drivers license. dropout. i stopped caring

>>81549033 (OP)
Well, I haven't died yet, and I'm not strung out at the moment so I must be doing *something* right.

>>81549068
>use teh axiom
nigga I'm not a nuclear physicist

>>81549068
How about we don't have this gay ass argument. You have agency, you have the power to make your own choices, the only reason you would argue otherwise is to absolve yourself of the shitty decisions you make. And if I'm wrong, and our actions are predetermined, well, then I guess I'm predetermined not to give a shit about your retarded reddit-tier armchair philosophy

gee lots of superfluous people in this thread

>>81549146
That's not very convincing, and the problem is that the ability to make choices underpins the topic of the entire thread.

Uhm, i'm drinking beer on a thursday and have drank almost every single day for the last several years. I've isolated myself from my family and friends.
Just last week I said some mean, dumb, racist, shit to a 'friend' and got literally choked unconscious for it.
On the positive side, I still have a job I love, i'm eating healthy, I'm still focusing on growing closer to god, im quitting marijuana after 8 years, im still athletic and working out, and i accept my shortcoming and want to work harder to change.

>>81549033 (OP)
being born wasn't a choice
being ugly wasn't a choice

>>81549033 (OP)
for about 5 years ive been meaning to "make the right choices" and i always end up fucking each day up and saying ill fix it tommorow so im a neet with no job still.

>>81549573
No, but those are also not points in time either

>>81549033 (OP)
sort-of. not making many choices rn ... or am I?

determinism has brought me into the shitty life that i have right now and it is determinism that will either make me opt out of it or continue doing it.

thus. the choices that i make are merely illusory. i am an automated machine programmed to reproduce, eat, and sleep

ive determined my identity is that of a liminal, impractical, avoidant degenerate, so i play tekken every day all day and do nothing, but for pleasure i will read some philosophy

>>81549033 (OP)
I made all the wrong choices, now I'm just waiting for death so I can get a fresh save

Don't know. Maybe, but I guess I will never find out. I won't get a Midnight Library to find out.

>>81549033 (OP)
the best way to make right choices is not by constantly reviewing past choices but making sure future choices are right. I'm doing good with what I've been given I think

You get better odds if you tried to improve this one, with a lousy life they don't give you good options to respawn it's usually just more of the same

>>81551213
This run affects my next? What the fuck man

>>81549033 (OP)
In the vast quantum mechanical multiverse, one version of me should be. Not this one thoughbeit.

>>81549033 (OP)
I'm operating on intuition and it's not up to me. None of this matters anyway. A palace or a tent there's nothing new under the sun.

>>81551232
yeah dude, it's called karma. It's like basic stuff

There is no choice, merely an illusion. Sure, if had Save State 0, 1, 2 3...8,722,139...my life, might have turned out different.
But I had no save states. Only slave states
>pick one of the following;
>continued subsistence, kind of cool thing but then no continued subsistence, supercool but..,
Out of every series of possibilities, only one or two are even good ones, the rest very bad. Living your life only making perfect best decisions down the thread, your life is only as good as the thread. The thread you get is a completely random roll of the dice. You only have to get down two or three decades before you know if four string was a dud or not.

>he isn't playing his life on an emulator

>>81551336
Trying to set up the emulator made me cry so I settled for the shitty game I already had

There are people out there who justify their shitty behavior with determinism
