One might wish to be careful with this. While strict materialism is probably the dominant paradigm amongst HN readers, there is significant evidence and reliable testimony of inexplicable events[1] that defy a natural explanation.

On the other hand, it may well be the fastest way to start speaking fluent Aramaic. Duolingo eat your heart out!

Notes for those planning to sell your soul online: eBay specifically prohibits such transactions. [1] Compared to some online bans, the reasoning is pleasingly coherent. eBay does not allow the auctioning of human souls for the following reasons: If the soul does not exist, eBay could not allow the auctioning of the soul because there would be nothing to sell. However, if the soul does exist then, in accordance with…

I tried to buy a soul ~2004 but got the auction cancelled when I saw there was a duplicate auction

So long as they were transparent about the soul having been split I'm not sure I see the issue.

Surely the modern way to sell your soul online is through NFTs?

Not necessarily. It is speculated that the Devil can solve any mathematical problem and thus human crypto is useless to him, as he can just reverse all hashes, compute the discrete logarithms and factor arbitrarily large numbers. So an NFT (or any other cryptographic artifact) is rather something that Satan can offer you for your soul.

That's not the way math works. G-d himself can't reverse a hash.

Before you go invoking the "miracle" loophole, consider that miracles are logically impossible. If an impossible thing happens, then it was not in fact impossible. We just didn't understand the rules.

I thought selling your soul was done by signing on to work at Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

In the modern economy you are always a small, finite number of transactions from someone using slave labour, bombing civilians or using torture.

At some of the big tech corps this number is 1 though - murderous regimes do use these companies directly.

If it were a financial market, one could perhaps sell the option to buy a soul pending resolution of the matter.

You've just invented a new kind of "futures trading" and the mother of all kinds of innovative financial scams. Awesome! Someone should definitely start a business trading in "souls" and NFTs seem to be of the same ilk, so you guys are onto something.

That's how maths works. Hashes are trivially reversible, all it takes is time, no miracle needed.

Oracles in complexity theory are a bread and butter concept

My question is why would anyone want to deal with this stuff. If you're relying on this silly material, you clearly don't have the faintest idea what you're doing - in all likelihood, you'll just end up "summoning" lots of random mischievous spirits who'll be trying to have fun at your expense in weird and surprising ways until you finally learn how to banish them properly. There are plenty of other ways to get start…

Well, you had me at the first sentence but lost me at the second.

Bertrand Russell said it's all "the random collocation of atoms." As far as anyone can tell, the meaning of Life, The Universe, and Everything is quantum physics. It explains all of the concepts currently attributed to both the physical and "spiritual" worlds.

Many religions acknowledge that there is no dichotomy between the physical and spiritual forms of experience. There is only one thing. If that's the case, the one thing's name is quantum physics. We can puts lots of other names on it from chance to déjà vu, from "bad behavior" to Beelzebub, but it's demonstrably the random collocation of atoms and probably not much more. Unless it's The Matrix, lol.

God himself is omniscient, so He by definition knows all the reverses of all hashes.

Also, to know the reverse of any hash you don't even need full omniscience, just "merely" the knowledge of anything that ever happened. Rewind the history of the universe, read the reverse from RAM when the hash was computed, done.

The omniscient one doesn't need to reverse a hash; they recognize immediately all possible values that could produce the hash.
