Imagine that you could push a button that would generate an incredible and perfect video game every time you pushed it...

What is this

At least post the video, dumbass.

can I choose the genre
like porn game for instance

It's the same consciousness that has to endure all those years alone. Yes, your mind will be wiped, but not after 500 million years. It's not worth it. It's more suffering than any living being has ever suffered. You'll immediately regret it after only a few hours.

>for a shitty fucking game
I'll do it for a billion bucks.

>Do anything at all
>Doesn't matter because you'll be dead in ~80 years and won't know it happened anyway

Retard.

This exact thing could happen to you everytime you sleep and you'd never know. Hell, it could happen everytime you blink

>The Jaunt
It messed up with me for a while.

Any more videos like this? I miss the old times of Japanese autism.

for a fucking video game? I think not

this shit still fucking terrifies me

Poor argument.
Your consciousness can't experience 500 million years in the span of every blink.

you don't understand user
it could be the most ultimate hentai game with a nearly unlimited amount of fap material

it would absolutely be worth it
just imagine a hentai game that you would never be able to see all the content of even if you played it for a billion years

Oh God, The Jaunt. Thanks for reminding me.

A spider could be crawling into your dick every time you go to sleep and you'd never know, doesn't mean you'd want it to happen.

Now THIS is a poor argument. What's the difference between blinking and pushing a button 16 times in a row?

The twist is, I don't have a choice, do I?

spotted the sociopath

the thing is you're getting wiped and reset after every time. when you push the box your subjective experience an instant later is that nothing has happened.

the thought experiment is an attempt to perfectly isolate subjective experience, to clarify the timeless question of if it subjective experience alone actually has any value. does a truly subjective experience with absolutely no impact on anything else, including the person who supposedly experienced it, actually matter at all?

i think this thought experiment does very well in demonstrating why not. in reality there is no such perfectly isolated subjective experience, though, which makes it a very purely cerebral and not too useful exercise. any conclusions one may be trying to draw from it are probably stupid error (eg. using this to rationalize some nihilistic self-obliteration fantasy).

the soul you speak of is just a negative-space illusion of the gaps in our understanding, or is something genuinely super-natural and fundamentally not worth speculating about (being most likely bound by entirely different basic 'physical laws', including different conception of time or nothing like our time at all). in general it is quite clear that the vernacular 'soul' is just another term for 'self', the subjective experience of consciousness and/or self-awareness.

nothing is worth 500 million years of solitude, you can't even comprehend how long that is as a human. The question is retarded.

How do I know that my consciousness isn't already being trapped for millions of years and then released back into my body with memory wipe every second of my life?

It's fantasy. Anything could happen.
Dreams being the closest thing to it occur in a span shorter or equivalent to real time.

maybe it's a sexy spider

Sauce?

nah, you clearly cannot imagine a game beyond the current limitations we have

No way to know.

I'd put myself through it because I deserve it

RAGE

>trapped in an empty void for 500 million years with nothing to do but think
Brain damaged within the first week. Would most likely be dead within a month. If I'm revived after all of that time being dead, sure.

If someone offered me 10000 dollars to have a spider crawl into my dick but within the next instant the spider is gone and I dont remember any of the experience, then I'd be 10000 dollars richer right now

I doubt that user. No human on earth has ever deserved something so terrible.

Sorry for spoonfeeding I should have just googled the filename. Nevertheless, sad that rage 2 looks like it had uggo women

I would do it for free to see what the limits of the human experience is. How long can you exist before every bit of brain memory is used up? If time goes faster the older you are, how fast does it get? These are the questions that need answering. The flesh is worthless, the mind is the all.

Oh and a true good sequel to vampire the masquerade.

ur so clever and smart user u really bamboozled that thought experiment

>nothing is worth 500 million years of solitude, you can't even comprehend how long that is as a human

Spend your whole life alone. Now do that 10 times. Now do that a thousand times. Now do that 100 times. Now do that five times.

ezpz.

and as I said, you clearly cannot imagine even 10% of how long 500 million years is. You are fucking retarded and let that be the end of it.

Ok, but now imagine it's a number of spiders crawling into your dick that would cause an amount of suffering equal to 500 million years of solitude. Would you still do it?

It's not like you'd remember it those years. To you it'd be nothing.

yes I can imagine it
you're the only one here who has a shitty imagination, retard

I really love something about the shading/lighting
and texturing in this. I dont know what it is, but some older pokemon cards have a similar style to it and I absolutely adore it. Is it just a byproduct of how early CGI was rendered?

What video is it?

>Just stop thinking like Kars did

EZ PZ, give me my perfect game

No, the answer is to never push it.

No matter how great the reward, if you are the "you" that is considering pushing the button, you are dooming yourself to an eternal hell if you press it. You only win out if you're the "you" that has already pushed the button and received the prize. No matter if those memories will go away at the end of it all, the reality is you are pressing a button to spend 500 million years in the void if you're in the middle of considering it at the moment.

kino

But if I was at least I was aware that I had made the decision, I would know that at one point I subjected a version of my consciousness to untold lifetimes of torture and confusion.

The answer is that there is no difference and that to an outside observer witnessed was somebody blinking or pushing a button and nothing happened

Just create a world inside you head nigga like just use your autism to become god lmao

/thread
You're only dooming the actual "you", your own soul.
The other "you" would only have your memories before you pressed the button.

also my shit English has nothing to do with this, I'd rather be on this side of the void and be able to half-communicate with people

The only time you'd be aware is if you pushed the button again.
Watch

Easy I make someone else push the button. Ez pz.

wrong

I'm fairly certain that you'd quickly regret thinking that once you've begun your 500 million life in the void. It's so much longer than our finite human existences.

Subjecting another version of your self to that is worse than murdering everyone on earth a million times over.

And you'd be none the wiser if you lost your memories of those 500 million years.

based objectivist

absolutely not, the worst case scenario isn't possibly worth any reward and as soon as you press the button once you're dooming yourself to press it for eternity

Ok here's a question for those of you who said you would press the button.

Let's say there's another button that gives you 1000 dollars and a perfect video game each time you press it. However each time you press it, some random person on earth will go through 500 million years of solitude in the void. This person will never forget the experience so it permanently affects them, but you will never meet or hear about this person. You will never have any idea of what the experience was like or how it affected them.

Do you still press the button?

I will watch the video, but if the problem is as it has been presented to me, only a retard would press that button and subject a version of themselves to that.

It's not THAT bad.

Consciousness evolved to handle events in the "now"
Your own senses, being part of your consciousness, handle events in the "now"
It doesn't make up a 500 million years of solitude to spite you.

>press button, enter void
>500 million years of intense meditation, at the end of which gets wiped and becomes meaningless, the ultimate Buddhist experience
>become secret Buddha and play a dope ass game

Ez pz not even a question

Ez pz gimme game

How would you know the button is legit though? You'd lose the memories of the experience, so you'd get a shiny new game for just pressing a button.

Of course it doesn't, a consciousness can't get transported either but that's not the point of this thought experiment.

fuck ive been looking for this forever thanks user

Question: How is the video game generated? Does it pop into existence in my hands? Do I get a USB stick with the source code? Does reality rewrite itself so that it was created by some other company?

Because if another me is going to suffer 500 million years, I want to at least be able to sell what he suffered for.

yes

Based and Bodhisattva pilled

Why does this kinda turn me on? What's wrong with me?

That's a retarded analogy, I may as well be killing another person. The button is done to yourself and you're perfectly unharmed. I'd still press the button if it had a chance of sending (You) there though as punishment for being so fucking stupid.

I imagine the person that goes through the 500 million years comes out as a god like being that has solved all of mankind's problems in the span of those 500 million years.

After learning about this thought experiment, would you press the button if some random guy came up to you on the street in real life and offered you the same choice?

yes, assuming it isn't bullshit

Morality is a spook, slam that motherfucking money button

Attached: 1549699411630.png (1127x1015, 311K)

No.
I value the sanctity of my soul.

fucking no
>but you don't remember it
you still have to experience it

It's not an analogy, it's another question to understand the attitudes of the people who would say yes to the original question. I am not trying to argue against your opinion by asking another question.

Don't you think you should be worried that you are making such a ridiculous threat for something you falsely assumed of me?
