Can just discussing the possibilities alter the fabric with which we clothe our existence?

Question

Sorry about the thumbs down gremlin.

Answer 1

Thought, speech and deeds inexorably affect everything.
A thought affects the individuals behavior and speech. That affects the environment. The environment responds. It is elemental.

Answer 2

That there is such presuppositional uniformity is not evident. A tailor presupposes the integrity of the substrate "fabric" before he cuts: cutting with an expectation of producing something useful for a fellow. This is of a class: man-made things. The tailor had nothing to do with the usefulness of the wool from which his jacket is made.

Discussion presupposes language. It is not clear how language relates to existence, hence the metaphorical ambiguity, the retreat to symbolism. If the inquirer can transpose the metaphor to language some advance can be won: the speaker had nothing to do with the usefulness of the "X" from which her speech is made. It is a question directed back to the questioner. A user is of a fundamentally different strata than the used thing. But that is obvious, and we are back to the starting point of wondering.

Answer 3

Certainly. The fabric of our existence includes that which would discuss it, and that which is discussing it changes in the face of any interaction. So at the very least, we are transforming our own internal dynamics.

If you're wondering about whether or not talking about things can alter reality external to ourselves, I would have to say, "No." Not any more, at least, though I suspect it might have been possible in the very, very early ages of the universe. We can only alter reality to the extent that acting upon our thoughts can make it so, our thoughts alone are apparently powerless. I keep hoping for evidence to the contrary, but have yet to find any.

Answer 4

What you are referring to is the Quantum Theory. This theory says that all possibilities exists until we act. The theory also states that all of a possibilities exist all the time. For example, you go to the store to buy ice cream. In another universe you stay home, and in another one you do not exist. We are not aware of the other possibilities because they happen in what has been called alternative universes or realities.

So to answer your question, we may in fact be changing our personal existence by asking or answering this or any other question. This asker and the answerer change their views on life or not in relation to what is given as a answer.

Answer 6

Yes, just discussing a possibility makes us consider the existence of such a reality where the possibility existed, changing or influencing our perception of our reality with the "what ifs" of our discussion.

Answer 7

You hurt my head with that question but I think the answer is yes. It depends on the accumulated raw materials that come from your mind as you interpret the perception of the possibilities..

Answer 8

Yes, by discussing it, it is different then if we had not.
