Determinism: Difference between revisions

{{a|g|}}Scientific [[reductionism]] taken to its logical conclusion, a conclusion that is so plainly illogical you think it would cause pause for thought, but because [[reductionist]]s are so terrified of post-modernism, people tend to swallow it and just go with it, no matter how insane its consequences. They are this: that seeing as the universe is wholly and exclusively a material thing, and is governed by immutable laws of physics and causation — but is it? — anything that will happen to any part of that universe can, with sufficient [[information]], be calculated in advance, and the fact that something hasn’t been so pre-calculated, or predicted, and that the trajectory of every atom in the universe has not, yet, been charted from its origin at the big bang to its final logical end point in the [[gnab gib]], being the same singularity with which our universe began only with the arrow of time reversed — is merely a reflection of the inadequacy of our computational apparatus, and our approach to data-gathering.
