@St_Rev Ok, so you agree that you will become a duck in 2050. Cool. -
@InstanceOfClass It's epistemically absurd for me to forecast 2050 with certainty. Cut it out. -
@St_Rev Ok, then what odds do you give? -
@InstanceOfClass If there's a reason to compute, very low. But I try to keep my theories local. -
@St_Rev In what sense is the duck theory nonlocal?
