Suppose we eventually discover that, at a fundamental level, particles move linearly and deterministically from A to B.
That’s a bit like saying: drawing is just moving ink from the pen onto the paper.
You’re right, no matter how many observations we make. But you’re also missing the point.
Now, you are going to overgeneralize.
“Everything is just particles moving from A to B.”
You are going to see it in everything, like what happens with evolution: “Oh, this is evolution, and that is evolution.”
No.
The snake: so it’s only motion.
No. It’s everything else.
When the ink hits the paper, it happens.
Now, everything is visible. And therefore, everything else changes too. It’s like changing the color of the couch. Now you have to redo the whole living room.
By noticing, you are the one thing. You automatically become the opposite of the other thing. It’s like noticing depression. That means you can’t be solely depression, because then there would be no other thing. But it’s also not true that if you were one hundred percent depression, you wouldn’t notice the depression. That can happen too, simultaneously. I always struggle with this part of explaining. The words slow me down.
