    Sorry, I should have gone more into the actual belief. For her it was less of an “if I make a decision that leads to my death in this universe, there surely is a parallel universe where I did not!”, it was “if I die in this universe, thanks to an infinite multiverse, there must be one where I spontaneously start exisitng with all my exact memories from the previous life”.

    Oof that reminds me…

    When my partner and I had already been living together for a while, we had one of those “cuddle on the couch and deeptalk” days, when she confided that, while she was not religious in any traditional sense of the word, she felt immensely comforted by the thought of an infinite multiverse existing.
    “If there’s an infinite amount of parallel worlds, then I choose to believe that even if I die here, life goes on in another world, so in a sense my being and existence do not simply vanish completely. Same for you! And hey, even if we both die, we’ll get to continue living together in some version of the infinite multiverse!”

    It was clearly a thought that comforted her a lot, and at the same time a rather intimate belief that she chose to share with me. So, like the idiot I am, I stared her in the face blankly and went “There’s an infinite amount of numbers between 0 and 1, and none of them are 2”.

    I really regret that. She let me know later that that one sentence shattered the belief for her. Which is sad, because it’s such an innocent thought. There’s no religious behaviors or conditions or rituals attached to it, it’s just comforting.



  • Ne, im Gegenteil. Viele die mit einem Monitor “geübt” sind könnten mit zwei effizienter sein.

    Keine Ahnung, die Diskussion ist echt müßig. Sowohl meinen Code als auch einen Browser gleichzeitig sehen zu können, ohne dass irgendwas abgeschnitten wird oder ich dauernd Fenstern zwischen Workspaces verschieben muss ist enorm angenehm. (Hab zwei im Quasrformat über einander hängen.)

    Wenn ich muss, kan ich mit einem Arbeiten. Aber es bietet genau 0 Vorteile, und etliche Nachteile.
