Topic: Serious Discussion / Is God really real?

The only intelligent and rational position is Atheistic Agnosticism. There is no concrete proof, evidence or indicators of God’s existence, so no sane person should believe in it – but it also hasn’t been proven to be false, so it’s just as insane to state with certainty that there is no God as it is to say there is one.

it’s impossible to prove

Not really, no. It’s impossible to disprove, but if God decides to show himself to us then it’s pretty much a proof. I’m Agnostic in relation to Invisible Pink Unicorns or the Spaghetti Monster, but it’s possible to prove that they exist if they appeared to us, but it’s not possible to prove that they don’t exist. It’s an unfalsifiable hypothesis, but not unverifiable.

Topic: Serious Discussion / AX: Teleportation

you would only use this “teleportation” device, if something can be done simply by using it, that is worth dying for

Not really, no. I would do it even to get to my kitchen without having to walk, if I could.
Dying only has a meaning because there will never be another “you” – this problem is not present in this scenario.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Why do we give things meanings?

To understand the world around us and communicate and thrive as a society.
Also, love doesn’t really exist.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Cyberbullying

Just like they were shot by someone who drank water daily. The problem lies in the existence of racism, which was the one that caused the cyberbullying and the homicide.

Topic: Serious Discussion / AX: Teleportation

It’s sad when half of the thread consists of people challenging and infringing really linear Axioms.

I see no problem in doing it since I’m not afraid of the concept of dying. Dying is just a loss of conscience, just like it was before you were born, I would never actually perceive it. The world will not notice the loss, since there will be another version of me that not only has my past memory but continues to write it.
This is a philosophical discussion that has been popular since the first movie that had teleportation concepts.

This means that your own consciousness is destroyed, and the consciousness that experiences reality for your new body is entirely different

It’s entirely different while still being entirely equal. Just like the potassium-40 in the banana I’m eating right now is entirely the same as the potassium-40 that a Finnish rocker ate last night, but they’re also entirely different since they’re in different bananas. This is what he means. (Entering advanced quantum physics to explain why the potassium particles are different is an obvious Attack to the Analogy fallacy, so please don’t)
So, essentially, there no difference – all particles are rearranged in the same way by a magical force.

Topic: Kongregate / [PETITION] Make update notes available to the public before implementation

Only the vocal minority would actually share their opinions if this gets implemented. However, they are the most intelligent. However, they are not representative of the masses, obviously, which is who Kongregate wants to appeal.
I don’t know which position to take – I’m inclined to yes for personal gain – but is it better for Kongregate? [Don’t count me as yes]

Topic: Serious Discussion / Monkeys and Butterflies and How They All Relate to Shakespeare and Chaos

Or is it like a simulation, without randomness

It’s a simulation. You could say a monkey could destory the M key before the Shakespeare’s works were complete, so then it wouldn’t be possible for them to be finished for a lack of M keys. It’s so obvious it’s mind boggling.

Can we claim that something that has the possibility of happening, will happen, given an infinite amount of tries?

Yes. That’s how statistics work, for fuck’s sake. Can you even grasp the concept of infinity?

Because you cannot literally flip a coin an infinite amount of times, is the answer to this question even hypothetically knowable?

It’s not physically doable, but the answer is knowable. All possible outcomes with happen. There will be a googolplex of heads in a row, and then there could be a tail, and then another googolplex+1, and then 89 tails, and all combinations will occur. The combinations are infinite, but so are the coin tosses. If you don’t understand the concept of infinity or statistics, like NaturalReject, you won’t understand this very basic principle

Topic: Kongregate / How long until Kongregate is abandoned?

Hopefully not in the foreseeable future, with all the work being put on the Kongregate Wikia recently by our users, it shouldn’t go to waste!

Topic: Serious Discussion / Monkeys and Butterflies and How They All Relate to Shakespeare and Chaos

I don’t claim “there will be”, I claim “there can be”.

When we talk about infinity, “can be” means exactly the same as “will be”. You can’t claim there “can be” or that there “will be” or that there “might be” or that there “can possibly be” an infinite string of only heads of only tails. It can’t, it won’t, simply because there can be (and will be) another outcome, eventually. You can claim pretty much anything when talking about infinite tries (chance of something happening becomes 100%), except events that make it so something else DOESN’T happen.
This is where you logic is EXTREMELY faulty. You can claim there will be a googolplex^googolplex^googolplex^googolplex^googolplex^googolplex^googolplex^googolplex or heads in a row, but never infinite heads in a row, because that excludes the possiblity of there being a single tail, however, its chance of happening eventually is 100%, which is why your premise is false.

Topic: Kongregate / Kongregate Save Folder saved on Online Database

Maybe they should provide this cloud storage service only for badged games, or make it part of KongPlus. Either way, I’m sure Kong would appear all over the news for being the first Flash Website giant to make functional and expansive cloud storage for save files, and they would end up gaining more money on the long run.

Topic: General Gaming / MineCraft Vs. Terraria

You can always compare games in terms of how much entertainment (fun) it gives to the player (which is the whole point of games), thus making Minecraft the winner by a mile, be it SSP or SMP, be it vanilla or modded.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Monkeys and Butterflies and How They All Relate to Shakespeare and Chaos

If you give an infinite amount of monkeys an infinite amount of typewriters

If it’s infinite, then they would complete it as soon as possible. If they had a rate of one trillion WPM they would complete all of them in a single second. With infinite monkeys and typewriters, it gets down to their rate of WPM. If monkeys and typewriters aren’t infinite, then you’d need infinite time to make it 100% sure that it happens. Otherwise, there’s no absolute certainty, because that’s how statistics work.

It’s probable that they will, but not a certainty.

With infinite amount of time, it is infinitely sure that they will, eventually. If the time is finite, as I said, then there’s no certainty.

The probability that we will have tossed at least one tails will approach 1, but it will never actually become 1.

False. Given an infinite scenario, it is given that one tails will show up. You can’t claim there will be an infinite string to heads like you can claim there will be a 90-trillion string of heads.

therefore quitters would give you absolutely no advantage, since a fixed number of people are advancing.

Not if you place highly enough to pass. If you suck and you beat someone, that person sucks even more.

Topic: General Gaming / BadgeMonkeys.com - Friday 11th guide: Reincarnation: The Clergy Of Unholy

…in the year 2017, the Ultimate Comprehensive Complete Cohesive Collection of Kong Guides was completed by the staff of BadgeMonkeys. Unbeknownst to the fact that they had the wherewithal to complete the quest in 2013 – even with the constant warning of velricreize – they spent years living in the shadows, not being accessed by anyone and only losing profit. Why didn’t they follow it? Maybe the bewilderment of being new blinded them, but it is only a theory.Had they listened to velricreize, they would be dumb rich.

Nope. BW 2 together are the third version, just like there are two movies that make up Movie 14.
