Hey, you would not believe thats the book I just bought today.

I am currently reading The myth of sisyphus by Albert Camus. Anyone interested in having philosophical discussion is welcome to message me.

Donā€™t really know whether you could call this a ā€œphilosophical theoryā€, but what do you think about the Multiverse Theory? (That with every event that has multiple outcomes, a new parallel universe is created in which this event has a different outcome)

Hi,

I think if we are talking about multiverse theory, its more towards science or science friction(FYI. I am right now majoring in physics) so I think its a interesting topic of discussion. Do you know how I try to visualize multiverse would be like( one of the ways)? There is always alternative universe with different course of action. As an over-thinker before doing anything I like to think the multiple course of action and their consequences so in multiverse whatever multiple course of action I thought of would have happened. I donā€™t know if it make sense.

love to hear your perception of multiverse theory.

Thatā€™s exactly how I would describe it! And if we would narrow it down, that would mean that thereā€™s an infinite amount of separate universes, as even the decay of an atom is a ā€œdecisionā€. So, as there are billions of atoms decaying (or not) in every second, billions of multiverses are created. Isnā€™t that an exciting theory? On the one hand, when you view it from a scientific perspective, but also from a philosophical one! It really makes you think of what you have in life, and how your decisions have an impact. I love this theory so, so much :)

Hi Olive! Have you ever read ā€œThe Alchemistā€ by Paul Coelho? That is my all time favorite book, I highly recommend it if you have not yet checked it out! šŸ˜Š

Hi Olive. I am Dee. I really like philosophy myself. I have been attracted to stoicism for a long time. I have been listening to Practical Stoicism podcast and reading Art of Living by Sharon Lebell. I know you just asked for book recommendations but I really think the tv show The Good Place is a fun way to learn about philosophy. Hope I have been of some help.

Best luck to you!!!

Hello, this sounds like a very intriguing discussion! I don't know much about philosophy although I've always been interested in the concept of fate and weather it's a defined path or there's a branching sector of paths you choose everything you make a choice. So, the butterfly effect?
