Topic: If I cannot observe my own death, then I can assume that I am immortal.

I cannot observe my own death, therefore, I am immortal.

If I cannot observe unicorns, then I can assume they don't exist.
I cannot observe unicorns, therefore they don't exist.

@OP
I've never met you in person.

Therefore, I can assume that you are in fact a bot and will not die, thus making this a troll topic.

So you're saying that unicorns exist?

Silence, bot scum. Nobody cares what you have to say. It's probably spam for some Nigerian scam anyway.

Just because you cannot observe something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

They don't not exist because you can't see them; they don't exist because they don't exist.

Also, you can observe your mortality, without observing yourself as a corpse.

I can't see you, therefore I can assume that you are a pizza delivery service.

Bring me a pizza, you pleb. I'm hungry.

@112,705 (B)
In math, it is possible for an equation to infinitely approach zero, but never reach it. Thus, constantly approaching mortality does not justify attainment of mortality. Or something.

I can't see your wit, so I can assume that you don't have the mental ability to form a coherent retort, and that was something along the lines of "lol nigerian king here give me ure monies so I can give you my more monies".

In your daily life, it is possible for you to suck an infinite number of nigger dicks down your cum filled throat, but never get tired of it. Thus, constantly sucking nigger dicks down your cum filled throat does not stop you from posting on minichan. Or something.

But you can draw conclusions to the contrary. I can observe my life continuing with no evidence that it will terminate, therefore it is safe to assume that it will not end.

Niggerdicks do not exist, as I have never seen them. Therefore OP has all the time in the world to post on MC. Oh dear.

Oh, okay.

@112,719 (B)
Nay, time is the limit. Assuming that it takes 5 seconds per nigger dick, then it is only possible to suck 17,280 nigger dicks in a day, which is a far cry short of infinity.

But they can be observed at your local KFC. Therefore, it can be proven that they exist.

We're being somewhat logical now?

Oh, well then you are not immortal, since your lifespan is bound to being within the limits of this universe. You can't live forever, because the universe ends in ~10^100 years

OP is correct.

@112,737 (B)
That number seems rather arbitrary. In fact, the universe is cyclical and will never end. If you were on the straight of a very large oval in which you could not see the curve, you would assume that the oval is actually linear.

I didn't think I broke logic anywhere... if you don't mind, it would be a great help if you could point out where I went wrong.

@previous (Unintentional Jackass !LASXURl1b6)
No, I wouldn't assume the line I was standing on to be linear. I would use science, and determine the true nature of my environment.

and the number I gave for the lifespan of the universe isn't arbitrary at all, it's the approximate time until the universe is effectively dead. A being such as yourself (based on atomic structure) certainly would not survive past that point.

@previous (B)
But if the line was long beyond imagination (but by no means infinite) then even science would conclude that you were on a linear path.

But who came up with that number? Seems like it's just the highest number that a calculator can handle. I don't believe that the universe is constrained to the limits of science.

Not necessarily.

Stephen Hawking, nigger.

lolno

Well, it is. Sorry to break it to you.

Necessarily. If you cannot observe the curve, then you cannot be sure of its existence (wait, fuck)

> Stephen Hawking, nigger.
A man in a wheelchair? Brains do not make a person right. Appeal to authority fallacy. That number was chosen at random.

> lolno
Yep, try it.

> Well, it is. Sorry to break it to you.
But, how can you prove it?

No, it wasn't. Seriously. I don't want to explain entropy, black holes and hawking radiation to you... so you'll either have to trust the authority or just not care about when the universe ends. I don't fucking care what you choose, lol.

Anyway, you just fucked up the entire basis of your topic on your own...

Oh, I will give you this one:

If the universe is, in fact, cyclical, then you are immortal in a sense. But not because you are incapable of observing yourself as being dead.

Nay, observation is never a cause, observation leads to the conclusion, so if I cannot observe my own death, then lets rephrase and say that it is unreasonable to assume that I will die.

Nothing can be absolutely proven. Everything is an assumption, but some assumptions are more valid than others.
You see, things can be dis-proven, even though nothing can be proved.
