Timeseeker is arguing there is no universe, somehow?
What? Lol.
I am arguing that the question "Does the universe exist?" is undecidable! It's stupid to even ask it!
It's metaphysical bullshit!
Nothing is 'bullshit' and not nothing is 'bullshit' - never belittle the faculties of comprehension that you have.
The universe exists. Your turn.

The bit is the unit of information.
For example here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit the word "distinction" isn't even mentioned.
Yes, 0 and 1 are different, these are the two values, it's a distinction. Which doesn't mean that 1 bit is enough for "Am I thirsty?".
*yawn*.
The question is "Am I thirsty?"
Hypothesis 1: Atla is thirsty
Hypothesis 2: Atla is not thirsty.
Here is one mechanism YOU can use to answer the question: flip a coin!
Another way you can answer the question is to search, "deep within your soul" for that feeling you call "thirst".
And if it's there - then the answer is "Yes!".
If the feeling is not there - then the answer is "No!"
How many bits describe a feeling? I don't fucking know any more than you do!
The fact that you have answered "I am (not) thirsty!" means you have acquired 1 bit of information.

OK. Gedankenexperiment.
Suppose that the universe didn't exist. What would you observe then?

I shouldn't have been so nasty to Greylorn, because if my memory serves me, he is one of the 'binary universe' opinion..which I agree with, simply because, again, at its most finite point, either an event happens or it dunt. Binary.

Sweet FA. So it does exist, since it is observable and us c~nts call it a universe.

Can you describe "sweet FA" to me?
What would you be smelling, hearing, tasting, touching or feeling?

Like i said above - but you posted too quick cos you timseek.... it does exist, since it is observable and us c~nts call it a universe. And us c~nts feel it with our 5 senses.
Oh and FA means Fuck All.

So we need a mind / a soul / a part of a human or whatever. We need a language, we need a question, which we know is a strictly yes/no distinction. Etc.
And THEN we can make the abstraction that we acquired 1 bit of information.
But actually we also used all the above in the process.

OK, well. I am of the opinion that it doesn't. And if you feel so strongly about it you will give me examples.
You know - evidence.
I mean - I have never seen a universe. Have you?

Sure. The thing that constitutes the first experiences of the universe.

So what are you experiencing if there is nothing to experience?

Sub atomic matter - beyond my consciousness that relays to said consciousness information about the external substance to said consciousness, that which pertains to the universe.

And you still speak of this "universe" thing! Show me some evidence for it!

No, you stated
"Suppose that the universe didn't exist. What would you observe then?
I replied Sweet Fuck All (Sweet FA) - I never said the universe didn't exist - that's your side dude. If it didn't somehow I feel rather strongly that this debate would not occur.

OK, but when I asked you to descibe the experience of "Sweet FA" you used sub-atomic particle as your example.
That's not "Sweet FA", that's sub-atomic particles!
It's the stuff everything is made of!
