>The Copernican principle says that a bacteria is equally likely to find itself at any position n of the total population N. A single bacteria can reproduce and cause a chain of dividing that causes 4,722,366,482,869,645,213,696 organisms to be "born" every single day. If we think bacteria will one day dominate the galaxy and live for millions of years, N becomes so large that the probability of a piece of bacteria being reproduced this early in our history instead of in a future with trillions(^x) of bacteria approaches 0%. It's pretty depressing but everything suggests that, for some reason, bacteria will end sometime in the near future.
You're kind of embarrassing yourself here faggot.

motivation is a quantum operator
think about it

you can't exactly foresee your motivations/decisions ahead of time. Imagine if I told you the exact conditions of your next trip to a cafe for breakfast - the date, time, weather, how long you slept, everything. You still wouldn't be able to tell me for sure what you would decide to order - you might say that you would get one of a certain number of things (Eg: EITHER fried egg and bacon OR muffin OR pancakes), or you might be able to tell me what you will probably get (Every time I go I usually get the pancakes) but you could never tell me with 100% confidence what in the moment you might capriciously decide. There is always an uncertainty

So we have a set of well-defined motivation states, each corresponding to a certain menu item. Each state has an associated probability, which summed together come to 1 (for our example, you might have to include "I might decide to not eat breakfast at all" and all sorts of other low-probability outcomes to find the COMPLETE set but you know what I mean).

When you "measure" the motivation, by actually being present and asking yourself "What do I want to order today?" the wavefunction collapses and you suddenly find that you have made a subconscious decision without any real logical process at all - "I definitely want the eggs". Now that you are in a well-defined motivation state, any remeasure (thinking about it again) will yield the same result for sure until the system is disturbed ("Sorry, we have no eggs today sir" or a sudden stomach pang)

do you see what I mean?
