@bajablast I voted for you because Pitch Black is for pitch black people.

update: we in the lead baby

and someone give fradddd a hug

yo nice!

idk which 1 2 vote 4 since i don't drink pop so some1 make my decision for me

I could not imagine a world without myself, i can only imagine a world after i die.

Yes, I can imagine that. It'd be absolutely no different.
Like, if I disappeared right now, only about .0000000405% of the world would be significantly or noticeably affected, maybe less.

The response to this question first requires a philosophical breakdown.

In accordance with David Lewis' modal realism, who by all accounts is a major proponent of concretism with regards to the concept of possible worlds, it can be said that spatiotemporally speaking the actual world we inhabit is separate and distinct from that of all other possible worlds (of which there are infinitely many). To quote David Lewis:

"There are countless other worlds, other very inclusive things. Our world consists of us and all our surroundings, however, remote in time and space; just as it is one big thing having lesser things as parts, so likewise do other worlds have lesser other-worldly things as parts." [1]

We can also infer from this via modal logic that propositionally speaking, there exists a world W1 which is nearby another possible world W2 in accordance with however many of the same events and objects occur and exist respectively speaking. To use counterfactual conditionals:

Ex.
If I can imagine a world without myself, I am in a world where I exist.
If I can imagine a world without myself, I do not exist in any world.

This is meant to suggest that there is a closest world W1 in which I am in a world where either I exist or I do not exist. It is counterfactually true to suggest that since I can imagine a world without myself, I am in a possible world where I exist. However, if that should be the case, then it would be false that I can imagine a world without myself and I do not exist in any world. In this context, there also exists a world W2 closest to the actual world whereby I can't imagine a world without myself and still exist in this possible world W2.

Also, given Lewis' counterfactual analysis of causation, we can thus use this to infer that possible worlds are also causally separate from one another, including from the actual world itself. [2]

This argument, however, does suggest some problems. How can we know for sure that these possible worlds exist if they are spatiotemporally distinct and separate from one another? Does this epistemological issue transcend the boundaries of space and time itself? Is it logically possible for myself to imagine such a world in which I myself do not exist when such a proposition necessitates that I should exist? Some may argue such questions themselves don't matter, as epistemological issues propositionally do not follow from the metaphysical, rendering such arguments invalid. Other philosophers have devised their own versions of the concept of possible worlds (such as Saul Kripke and Robert Stalnaker). Regardless of these concerns, the concept of possible worlds has been applied to many various fields of study, including the analysis of literature itself (that deals with many various possible worlds, � la Back to the Future), to this question with regards to whether one can imagine a world without oneself, to that of the potential results of this Mountain Dew contest.

if there was a world without me in it i wouldn't want to live in it

I don't drink Mountain Dew but I voted anyway.
Unfortunately I accidentally voted for the black one. I think I voted against you. Sorry.

grape is my least favorite skittle flavor, dunno what either taste like

i voted, hope u can make america great again gl

@piana @helpingly yeee thats whats im talkin bout

I'm looking at it right now and you're losing :O.
I voted for you.

Aaah what if scenarios, an interesting topic for me!... however I can't honestly give ya a straight answer to that. I guess if I had to guess my cousins would be probably be in foster homes as appose to living with me, but for the rest it's really hard to ascertain honestly.

The world would lose a good source of sarcastic remarks if I wasn't around

no, i would not be alive. so i would be unable to imagine it. but if i were to wake up dead and ghosts were real then it would be interesting to stare through peoples windows as they play maplestory
