Some metaphysical questions for Stackers

299 sats \ 16 comments \ @SimpleStacker 30 Oct meta

Is it possible for a Cowboy to have a gun, but not a hat?
- Equivalently, does not having a hat imply not having a gun?
Is it possible for a gun to exist without a horse?
- Equivalently, does the non-existence of a horse imply the non-existence of a gun?
Is it possible for a horse to exist without a gun?
- Does the non-existence of a gun imply the non-existence of a horse?

(Note that the two conjectures above are not quite the same.)

Are horses and guns like matter and anti-matter being spontaneously created (or extended) and destroyed like quantum foam?

These are deep questions. I must ponder them.

The only thing I'm 100% sure is that you can't pick up a gun without also donning a cowboy hat.

I think a gun can exist without creating a horse.

But I don't think a horse can exist without a gun being created.

Just my observations with zapping and gaining/losing them. I'm probably wrong though.

when I had my first horse I had never owned a gun.

Finding the gun must have broken the autowtihdraws 🔫 🤠

I've wondered the same things. I believe that a gun implies a hat.

I believe that I've seen a gun be discovered without a horse either being discovered or already existing.

To get the hat you only have to spend 100 sats, so you can't get the pistol without the hat. You can have a horse without a hat. You can get the gun (sending wallet attached) or the horse (receiving wallet attached).

Thanks code-breaker!

What is the model or style of the gun? It doesn't look like a pistol.

it's a revolver

They're all superposed in quantum state so in reality you have all, and none, at the same time. Those which show up are simply a reflection of those which you wanted to see.

The real question, and the real power, consists on being able to visualize The Hidden Icons, so to bring them up to light too. Only The Chose Ones are deemed capable of such a level of existential insight so that it will shed a little beam of light into the unfathomable mystery of The Icons Pit.

While, all along, they are all with us already... hiding in plain sight...

I think I found the secret knowledge needed to manifest a horse
