[MD] Uncertainty

So much for the nonsense that "everything changes." Once dead, always dead.

[Arlo]
Still struggling with linguistic paradox, are you? We are back to the 
"mathematical definition of randomness"... The patterns that 
comprised the "person" continue to change... the atoms continue to 
move, join, break apart... in a few billion years they will be 
stretched across the universe... there is not one part of the 
"person" that does not continue to change in some way... it may not 
change the way *you* hope, but they continue to change nonetheless... 
What's funny is that your argument here is "since time does not move 
backwards (that we can seemingly perceive), therefore some things are 
permanent"...

Consider a star exploding... you can say with the highest probablity 
based on our observations that "that star was it was" will never 
exist again... This is not an argument disproving that "nothing 
changes", because the pattern we perceived in a past time will likely 
not exist in the same way in the future. In fact, Platt, it is indeed 
proof that "everything changes".

Thanks for your supportive example. I am really sorry you are 
struggling with this hard. Keep at it, you may get it one day.
