New Evidence for Multiverse from Planck Scientist

[vulcanlogician]

In your reasoning, you may not be considering that ALL possibilities will repeat infinitely.  That means it doesn't matter what you choose to do because you will do all of them (if it's possible and if you're causally determined - ie no freewill).

If you have freewill, then it's all moot because freewill isn't causally determined.  But then you have to explain where the freewill came from (ie something from nothing because freewill cannot be caused).

We can escape all those problems by simply dismissing causality.  There are no things, events and there is just the 1 thing and the 1 now, both of which last eternally because we've dismissed causality as ridiculous.

What I meant was more along the lines of this:

In the aftermath of Nehamas (1985), an influential line of readings has argued that the thought to which Nietzsche attributed such “fundamental” significance was never a cosmological or theoretical claim at all—whether about time, or fate, or the world, or the self—but instead a practical thought experiment designed to test whether one’s life has been good. The broad idea is that one imagines the endless return of life, and one’s emotional reaction to the prospect reveals something about how valuable one’s life has been, much as ... a spouse’s question about whether one would marry again evokes—and indeed, fairly demands—an assessment of the state of the marriage

So, in one reading, the eternal recurrence is a thought experiment through which one might assess the state of one's own life. You can read it as a metaphysical postulate, as many have done. But I think more value lies in taking it as a thought experiment.

I believe choices have causes, so I tend toward hard incompatibilism. If that's not true then it's probably compatibilism. Contemporary libertarianism is confused hogwash. I'm not sure how the free will debate factors in to all this, though. I don't think that libertarianism denies causality per se. 

I liked the stuff about dismissing causality. But I'm one to dismiss such a staple of my everyday existence.
