I guess thinking affects a person’s actions in some way, even if it is subconscious

depends on how you view "change". If you hold your breath for five seconds instead of breathing, the amount of o2/co2 is different from what it would be if you breathed normally. but nothing of significance has changed, this minuscule difference of o2/co2 does not matter. so if you mean nothing at all changes, i don't think so. but many things that you do or do not do are of little/no consequence

But will the difference in the o2/co2 level affect the world in the long run? Can it be that there will not be any consequences from a certain action? I think the right way to ask the question is to say: can an action be performed without triggering a chain of other actions after it?

"can an action be performed without triggering a chain of other actions after it?" I think so. For example, I could move a book on my shelf 1cm to the side and nothing will change anywhere else in the world. If I decide to pick the book up to read it, it doesn't matter if it's moved one cm to the side or not

it has an impact because if you hadn't spent that couple seconds moving it then all your subsequent actions and thoughts wouldn't be offset by that amout of time

>not be any consequences from a certain action Like how a closed system always has it's internal energy conserved, even though it may be under all kinds of internal forces?

What is a "change"? Bc many actions, like waving your hand in an empty room, would theoretically go entirely unnoticed by anyone else, but you expelled energy, you moved air molecules with the movement, you burned calories, even if the amount in the long run is practically nothing, it still isn't nothing.

Let’s say that the things that you’ve mentioned (burning calories, moving air molecules) are a part of one action of waving a hand in an empty room. Is there a chance that after you wave your hand, nothing else in the future happens relatively to you waving a hand in an empty room? Or will there always be some kind of new chain of happenings?

I mean, if you aren't counting the things I mentioned more than likely not. But there are countless possibilities that could occur.

2023-04-11 02:05

Also, it could be put this way: If after every single action that is being performed in the world there appears a new “timeline”, can there be an action so insignificant that a new timeline won’t appear?

2023-04-11 02:06

impossible it has already been proven that universal isn't local so any action that happens in the universe, it probably has an affect on some other particle in some other corner of the universe in real time

if you are talking about action in philosophical sense, then the answer is also no Even your inactions have real consequences, let alone actions Here's a related quote from Gita "Those who see action in inaction and inaction in action are truly wise amongst humans. Although performing all kinds of actions, they are yogis and masters of all their actions." tl;dr read about quantum entanglement for a scientific answer, read gita for philosophical answer
