Every theory, no matter how ridiculous, has some probability of being true.
T by their probability must still be one
Therefore, I've created a new device: The bayesian overloader.
Start with some very probable theory that nobody likes. For example, "i will die someday."
Now, we set the overloader to generate opposing theories, like everyone living will not die," or only pumpkins die," or "nobody has ever died - theyre all just sleeping"
The overloader creates hondreds of trillions of theories every second.
Because all of these theories get some slice of the probability pie, so long as we generate theories fast enough, the undesirable theory becomes less and less true.
We wait about thirty seconds, then bam! The initial theory is now vanishingly unlikely!
And thus, I am immortal!
