Determinism be like: You are safely traveling along THE ONLY WAY.
That kinda makes worrying about anything sound really dumb, doesn’t it?
But you’ll worry anyway, as your anxiety is a product of your biochemistry, which is governed by deterministic processes.
It makes absolutely no difference if you think about it. It’s not like choices are made for you even if the universe is determindric. If the world is or isn’t deterministic it’s not like anything would meaningfully be different - things would still be unpredictable to us. In an indeterministic universe randomness would play a part in outcomes, but that’s worthless to us. This meme is about choices anyways, randomness or determinism doesn’t matter in the end.
First of all is determinism not proven and may be/get disproven by quantum mechanics.
Second of all it also validates your suffering because it’s seen as a determined thing to happen so that may give you some solice.

Ah, nice! Almost didn’t have my existential crisis today, thanks for the reminder.
Dust fills my eyes
Clouds roll by and I roll with them
Centuries cry
Orders fly and I fall againTaking ALL of the paths was never really an option though. Celebrate all the new paths that opened because of the one you chose instead of dwelling on the ones you didn’t.
I understand, but don’t care
This is the real answer

You can’t change what has already happened. Learn from it, analyze it, but don’t dwell on it for too long.
There is always a tomorrow. The feelings of today don’t have to influence the feelings of tomorrow, next week, or next month.
Man i was going to close the physics lecture and sleep and now i dont think i can sleep anymore
I’ve accepted my lot in life. It’ll take a lot for me to change my thoughts. I am what I am and though I wish it would it’s not gonna change.
Maybe start meditating. I know this is like, stupid random advice thrown at you from who knows where on the Internet, but it is definitely a journey worth starting.
Cool. So can you offer me a job? I’ll do anything as long as I can afford to take care of my family.
Looks like one of those chaos curves mathematicians analyse.
What the fuck is that
ELI5:
Imagine some sort of a polynomial function
f(x) = r * x * (1-x)that is also depending on some constantrin range0 < r < 1.You apply
x = f(x)for many times, at your wish. Think of it as a for-loop, or f(f(f(…f(f(x))…))). The resulting value will reside (converge) to some value.So, this looped function sets to some stable point with any
rin range untilx < 3. After that, it doesn’t converge but it will constantly jump between one of 2 points, then 4, 8, … and at some point it goes wacky-macky.The graph from Wikipedia merely shows the probability of the value
f(f(f(...f(f(x))...)))for allrin the given range.If you’re curious, Veritasium’s made a good explanation here: https://youtu.be/ovJcsL7vyrk

Was that Schopenhauer or Kierkegaard?
Close, it’s a cat.
