EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS WRONG, BLACK IS WHITE, UP IS DOWN, AND SHORT IS LONG!!!!!!

[thethingthatlurks]

I study quantum mechanics, so this is more like a regular Tuesday morning for me...
What do I do? Pop some aspirin, take a nap, ace the homework, repeat.

 

[eels05]

If I suddenly came to that conclusion after however long I'd have to narrow my previous belief systems down to some pathetic attempt to wrap myself in cotton wool to protect my emotional insecurities.
And then I'd get the fuck over it.

 

[Eumersian]

I would totally freak out and kill someone. I would then proceed to get on all fours and scratch my ears with my feet because as far as I know I'm a dog.

That's not actually true I think?

 

[The Bum]

I'd curl up into the fetal position and waste away. I don't do well with such things.

You make some of the best topics, zombiejoe!

well thank you, that's really nice to here. I may just make a thread about that.

I try to think of a good topic before sending one.

NOW PRAISE ME! *throws lighting*

lol jk

You do well! As a reward, have a WTF moment:

I'd curl up into the fetal position and waste away. I don't do well with such things.

Well you wouldn't be a solid anymore, so going into fetal position might be difficult.

I could...ooze into a fetal...ish position?

HORRIBLE.....HORRIBLE

 

[ottenni]

Wait, i currently believe that i am not the batman...


Oh my god, I AM BATMAN!

To the batmobile! Nananananananananana BATMAN!

 

[MegaManOfNumbers]

Masturbate, to find out what a female orgasm feels like. considering I'm going to be a girl then.

 

[friboy2791]

I would probably turn to hedonism and do commit every taboo in my religion

 

[Programmed_For_Damage]

Short is now long? That's great news on a personal front.

*zing* you see what I did there?

 

[Nouw]

I'd die trying to figure out what is wrong and what is right.

 

[zombiejoe]

You people have made me lol.

lol

 

[Ickorus]

Soooo... me knowing im poor will be wrong and im actually a multi-billionaire?

Fuck yeah.

 

[FamoFunk]

I'd carry on as normal, ignorance is bliss.

 

[mjc0961]

I'd go buy an iPod Touch because it would be sold at a reasonable price and have useful features for an MP3 player instead of crap like two cameras for video chat.

Ipod touch doesn't have a camera... =P

 

[Exodus666]

I would adapt and move on.
Lets take the example of Overt Alien visitation, full on CNN coverage, they are here, ready to include us into the Galactic federation, give us technology, expand our views on science and religion... the works.

As a gamer ive been preparing for this moment my whole life, we all have, noone will have a greater adaption range then us since we are pretty much experts on the alternative.

Same goes for the Biblical apocalyps, trade guns with nearest gun nuts and go slay demons.
Same again for Zombie apolcalypse, and so on...

Well, my wrongness seems to have been working fine for the past 19 years so I don't see why I should give up on it just because it is, in some wierd sense "wrong".

Technically everything IS wrong. People know what they are taught as a child. If you teach a child that a green leaf is actually a red leaf they will call everything that is green red.

Not quite true. Technically everything you know could be wrong (appart from the laws of mathematics and a priori truths), however, your leaf example still works on the idea that there is a correct colour for the leaf and that the kid is being taught incorrectly.

(Hey, its not often that I can make use of my philosophy A level/university modules)

everything you know IS wrong
see: Einstein's theory of special relativity

If we didn't know anything, then how would we know Einstein's theory of special relativity? Quad erat demonstrandum, *****. You cannot have your cake and eat it too.
Anyways, special relativity doesn't have that great an effect on knowledge. What fucks everything up is quantum wierdness, because that casts doubt on causality, which is the basis for an awful lot of our knowledge.

Actually people believe what they are taught and to them it is right. It's actually a psycological thing.

Wait, everything I believed is a lie? But I believe that the cake is a lie, therefore it isn't, so I get to eat some yummi cake now.
