unironically based, I felt the same way. I read Siddhartha in college and smoked my weed, thought the whole meme-y "Woah", and then took as many philosophy courses as I could. Ancient Philosophy was my favorite, Metaphysics (i.e. analytic post 1960s or w/e metaphysics) was my least favorite. David Lewis does write like a bro, though.

Also every action you do is meaningless because in another possible world your counterpart is doing the opposite

My dear child, whether a written work is fiction or not, depends entirely on the intentions of its author. Even if, by a miraculous chance, everything Tolkien described in his works literally happened in the actual world, that still wouldn't make his literary oeuvre non-fiction. Your lack of ontological sophistication regarding works of art is astounding.

Are all possible worlds as real as the actual world?

>Our world is but one of a plurality of worlds, all equally actual and real. Every way that a possible world could bei s a way that some part of some world is.

Hm, that seems like a pretty radical notion, how do you know these worlds exist?

>B-becaaause, IT WOULD BE PHILOSOPHICAL PARADISE FOR MY MODAL LOGIC AND THAT IS A SUFFICIENT REASON FOR BELIEVING IN IT

What the fuck is wrong with David Lewis?
