I cannot answer any of them because I don’t know what they mean. Sorry.

Basically put me down for “other” even for the questions that don’t have that option ;)

On perhaps the most important question of all, whether you can get something from nothing, you left out "unsure".

Massive oversight.

Sorry. Can't edit it now.

My answers:

* Realist (alternatives seem ignorant and often quite childish to me)

* QM interp - other (I basically interpret it instrumentally, from what is very similar to a logical positivist perspective; I'm an antirealist on mathematics in general).

* Presentism (alternatives are incoherent in my view)

* Start of time - unsure (I think both answers are possible, I don't think there's really any way to know the answer)

* Infinity - a concept, and standardly, the concept is not a number (re my "concept" answer remember that I'm an antirealist on mathematics, mathematical objects, abstract objects in general). I do think it's possible that there could be an "actual infinity"--things that are endless, but obviously we can't really intuitively grasp that in the same way that we can grasp something like "1,000 truckloads of x"

* Something from nothing - I think it's possible

* I'm an atheist who thinks that religious beliefs and the idea of god in general are absurd/comically stupid (though I'm fine letting people have beliefs that I think are stupid, as long as they're not trying to control what I can choose to do where that's motivated by the beliefs in question).

:yum:

• Other - Absurdist. (vide Zapffe, Beckett, et al)

• Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI > qubits!)

• Eternalism. (Re: MWI of QM à la modal realism(?) ... vide Spinoza.)

• Yes - there is a start of time (i.e. each now). Start, however, does not entail 'unique beginning'.

• I think infinity is (at minimum) a number. (vide Cantor, et al)

• Yes - something can comes from nothing. (After all, something is only a nothing we happen to be interested in at the moment. :joke: Also, 'virtual particles'.)

• Atheist. (Theism is false. :roll: Ontological randomness (i.e. incompleteness) e.g. virtual particles, radioactive decay, ... MWI)

Kind of a biased selection with a lot of stuff wadded into "Other"....

A man who knows how to conduct a poll has an agenda. Out with it!

What master do you serve?

Can’t say that was very effective, with such lmited options. Reminds me of the ‘Dolly’ magazine surveys I used to do when I twelve. I didn’t appreciate the attempts to corral my data then, either.

Don’t fence me in...

What with option that infinity is kind of being, like any others being, or other name for God?

I don't think he was wondering about that sense of "infinity." He seemed to be thinking of the mathematical sense.

Infinity is several numbers, and several concepts, and a lot of additional things besides - read Kaplan.
