Wife’n little ol’ be havin’ a conversation ‘bout the possibility that the conversation we just had’n‘re havin’ was never had’n how the realities of what’n when we do things now’n into the future is changed from both havin’ had the conversation’n considerin’ the alternate reality that would be now of having not had it all. There’re also the possible realities of havin’ had any number of different conversations, instead of the one we had or the not havin’ one at all. And there’re the realities of thinking about that, or those possibilities.
This sort of stuff is one of the joys of consciousness.
And like she said she “…could have gone to bed earlier” and many things would be different.
If carryin’ ‘round possible different realities (even if just the order things happen is changed, or knowledge of the possibilities), then I suppose ‘objectives’ bring us around to getting things done anyhow. Still we carry what might have been (different) ‘round with us, and consideration of this influences what individuals physically do.
There’s got to be limits to what is economical, or even sane, to consider such things, some territory that might be explored that’d have one far away from home’n start to envy the less conscious or unconscious. Or maybe this abstract thing is in-great-part the home of consciousness.
There must even be very low-probability events’n broader possible realities that a lot of more certain every day stuff goes into making certain stay low-probability, things that haven’t happened, still that they haven’t happened strongly influences what has, does’n will happen.
So, am I right that all or many of the things that have never happened influence what is happening, and is this just some product of consciousness/awareness, or is it more generalizable to some spooky dimension of the universe minus human consciousness.
