Are we even sure that Sisyphus can make it to either location? Because in order to reach a destination he must first make it to the halfway point, right? But to make it there, he’s gotta make it to that point’s halfway point, but before he gets there he need to…
He doesn’t actually have to make it there you just have to pull that lever with a force an omnipotent being would have trouble accomplishing
Just make the lever longer.
Dude
Instead, let’s aim for double the end location. Then all he has to do is travel half that distance
But he must first travel half the distance to that line, leaving us where we started.
It depends on whether Sisyphus has learned calculus.
I hear they only have pomegranates in hell. Neither calculus nor gravity for them!
Why are these the passengers
I think that is how I would be if on a ship.without a computer, going insane.
… Millennial squats.
Dosen’t matters what you choose, given that for sisyphus to reach his destination first he have to reach half, then half of it, then half again and again making movement impossible.
Ah, so the answer must be no.
Stands up and walks away
“Hołd my limes!” - said Sisyphus
Yes, because he’s finally rolling the boulder down a hill.
it says “towards” so not necessarily downhill
Not necessarily downhill, but the possibility of downhill is implied. Both of these locations would need to be infinitely high in order for the direction to be uphill.
AFAIK “infinitely up” is more plausible than “infinitely down”, as in most systems you would eventually hit a center-of-mass when going down.
He could be coming in from underground though
you can always add an empty room without changing the total number of rooms, so there should be plenty of room for sisyphus and his boulder at the hotel
He did it. He beat philosophy, this is the question that we’ve been searching for.
I can get him a room at the Hilbert Hotel, I know a guy.
I know infinite guys.
I know aleph-null guys. All in the same family. Parents were lazy and named all their kids after the positive integers. 42 is my best friend.
Dude stfu, that was supposed to be between us!
We won’t know until we open the box…
Sisyphus is both happy and not happy, as long as we don’t ask. But the instant we ask, it’s one or the other
(surely someone already made this joke)
I feel really sorry for the cleaning crew at the hotel
If he goes to the hotel, though, he will get to hear a great story from the owner of the hotel about a once beautiful but now decaying resort that includes a sweeping adventure involving a not-exactly-straight con man, an art theft that was not a theft, Willem Dafoe, and Tilda Swinton.
Won’t the boulder roll back to the intersection anyway?
When the math teacher does philosophy questions.
