suppose that right now, at once, the universe changed to one where action does not have any repercussions. unless some other changes occur, we will cease to exist from any practical perspective (the act of breathing no longer implies the air we get will be physically processed the way it should be - unless you actively and consciously control each and every one of your bodily functions, you will surely die within seconds.. and that's under the assumption that we still will have some way to actually think).
and this example's more of a shot in the dark than the other one for me: is motion even possible in a world without repercussions? how? i don't think two objects can occupy the same space at the same time, can they? |
yes that is true if you take the word repercussion to mean, "any effect that an action brings about." Generally, however, the word repercussion is associated with negative effects. |

how about this then:
If you had access to star trek's holodeck, what would you do in it?
It creates a fake world which is therefore free of repercussions.

it's a problem in the sense that i already do what i would hypothetically do in that situation, i suppose :p

Besides, I'm hardly convinced you are, otherwise you wouldn't be around TA amusing yourself ,(et al) but rather attend to some duty or other that doesn't engage your pleasure or pain, mentally of course (you could be ascetic after all :p) |
but there are no duties that do not engage my pleasure or pain :p |

| Remove the mattress tag. Probably record a football game or two without the express written consent of the NFL. And I would jaywalk like a MOFO. |
