If Physicalism is true, then the belief in Physicalism can’t be
rationally justified.
If physicalism is true, then our beliefs and experiences are a result
of the universe’s initial conditions and causal laws (which may have a
probabilistic aspect).
Therefore, assuming physicalism, we don’t
Any thoughts?

I call 'facticity' the absence of reason for any reality; in other
words, the impossibility of providing an ultimate ground for the
existence of any being. We can only attain conditional necessity,
Probably most of you are familiar with this already, BUT, just in case
anyone has any interesting comments...
If physicalism is true, your memories are almost certainly false.
Consider:
Entropy is a measure of the disorder of a system. The higher the
entropy, the higher the disorder.

Let's assume that our best scientific theories tell us something true
about the way the world *really* is, in an ontological sense. And
further, for simplicity, let's assume a deterministic interpretation
of those theories.
In this view, the universe as we know it began ~13.7 billion years
ago.

Let me go through my full chain of reasoning here, before I draw my
conclusion:
So the world that I perceive seems pretty orderly. When I drive to
work, it's always where I expect it to be. The people are always the
same. I pick up where I left off on the previous day, and
So,in terms of the many worlds interpretation, what is the standard
narrative explanation of the double slit experiment?
In particular, in MWI-speak, what exactly happens when you know
which slit the photon has passed through that causes the interference
pattern disappear?
Also, what is the
