Timezone-wise though?

Sure, that’s consistent.

Yes, but if there is true free will, the universe would not be perfectly predictable. If it is, then there could not be free will. Luckily, it isn’t.

No? We’re perfectly fine!

Like I said, how can you prove that free will exists now? We could very well already live in your scenario, and the world isn’t ending because of a lack of free will (if it doesn’t exist). I mean, it is ending, but not because of free will or the lack thereof.

Why are we assuming they’d want to optimize it? If they went through the trouble of simulating the entire universe, they probably either have a particular goal in mind, or have such a ludicrously large amount of resources that it doesn’t matter.

There’s no functional difference, unless you can accurately predict someone’s actions, and to do that you’d need to predict the environment in which someone is making choices as well, which requires omniscience. So, there’s no functional difference.

Okay. Would you mind explaining to me why two courses of action being jobs makes them equally okay?

Are you just trolling or what

I wouldn’t expect shaving cream to do it; goo and foam and pretty normal

Those videos are so relaxing to watch

Note how you can’t easily see the US because we don’t try to bend time to our will

The Democrats aren’t really doing a lot unfortunately

Yeah, it’s worth it. Plus maybe I can help.

So are threatening someone’s life and casual small talk the same thing? They’re both talking. What about driving down the road vs running someone over? Or shooting a target vs shooting a person? They’re both shooting. Same thing.

“I can’t believe they threw me in jail. I pulled a trigger on a gun and shot someone. But other people pull triggers on nail guns all the time and don’t go to jail! It’s the same thing!”

That’s you right now. Two things can be described by the same action but have very different effects, both morally and legally.

Wild take

Have some more chicken

Have some more pie

It doesn’t matter if it’s boiled or fried

Your morals are oversimplified to the point of being wrong

How is it the same thing
