This is an awesome documentary. If you guys have two hours on your hands and are looking for something to do, you should definitely give this a watch! :)
The Ultimate Gamble (Pascal’s Wager)
The philosophy uses the following logic (excerpts from Pensées, part III, note 233):
- “God is, or He is not”
- A Game is being played… where heads or tails will turn up.
- According to reason, you can defend neither of the propositions.
- You must wager. (It’s not optional.)
- Let us weigh the gain and the loss in wagering that God is. Let us estimate these two chances. If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing.
- Wager, then, without hesitation that He is. (…) There is here an infinity of an infinitely happy life to gain, a chance of gain against a finite number of chances of loss, and what you stake is finite. And so our proposition is of infinite force, when there is the finite to stake in a game where there are equal risks of gain and of loss, and the infinite to gain.
What do you guys think?
The day where you stumble upon a treasure trove of good music… :)
