I don’t think free will can be dismissed just because the framework that it runs on is deterministic.
Let’s say you program a text editor. A computer runs the program, but the computer has no influence on what text the user is going to write.
I think that consciousness is a user like that. It runs on deterministic hardware but it’s not necessarily deterministic due to that. It might be for other reasons, but the laws of physics isn’t it, because physics doesn’t prohibit free will from existing.
Consciousness is wildly complex. It’s a self illusion and we really have no good idea about where decisions even come from.
If it is deterministic, it would have to involve every single atom in the universe that in one way or another have influenced the person. Wings of a butterfly and light from distant stars etc. Attempting to predict it would require a simulation of everything. That leads to other questions. If a simulation is a 1:1 replica of the real thing, which one is then real and what happens if we run it backwards, can we see what caused the big bang, etc.
So, even if this is about free will, the enquiry falls short on trying to figure out what even causes anything to happen at all.
If we are happy with accepting that the universe was caused by something before or outside the universe, then it’s really easy to point in that direction and say that free will also comes from there - somewhere outside the deterministic physics.
Of course the actual universe and the laws of physics are really not separate as data and functions. The data itself contains the instructions. Any system that can contain itself that way is incomplete as proved by Kurt Gödel’s incompleteness theorem. Truths do exist that can’t be proven so perhaps the concept of free will is an example of such a thing, or maybe it’s not. The point is that we can’t rule it out, just because it exists in a deterministic system.
Personally I don’t think it matters all that much. Similarly to how we can only ever experience things that exists inside of the universe,or see the light that hits our eye, we can also only ever hope to experience free will on the level of our own consciousness, even if we acknowledge that it is influenced by all kinds of other things from all levels from atoms to the big bang.
Yes, it won’t make much difference to a shirt, but it’s necessary for a blazer or outerwear, where the fabric is thicker and the button is getting pulled a lot more.
Step 8. The toothpick is used to loosen the loops and make distance between the button and the fabric. This is necessay. The button would be too tight to function properly otherwise.
Step 9 is to remove the toothpick and sew upwards under the button, but not through the button.
Steps 10-12. Since the sewing isn’t tightened down, you’ll need to secure it by wrapping the string around it a couple of times. (This is why you don’t sew through the button in step 9).
Steps 13-rest. Sew through the existing loops and tie a knot to secure the thread.
It can be difficult for coops to play on the capitalist market.
A company with a top-down hierarchy can make decisions much faster than an organization where the decisions are made ground up through internal democratic policies. The democratic process also very likely limits the co-op from doing shady stuff.
It’s possible though, but it requires a really good community backing.
I’ve been skating since 1986. The first time someone asked me if I was too old for it was in 1987. That question is really only in the eye of the beholder.
ok… 3 out of 7 is still pretty good.
(You also fucked up the first two letters)
Driving manual is not difficult, but unlike the opposite scenario, it’s not something you can learn with only short instructions.
It does take time to develop the motor skills in order do it without thinking about it. The practice wlll take maybe an afternoon or two if you do nothing else. I’d advise you to do it over more than one day to allow yourself to sleep on it and come back at it
Once you’ve learned it, you’ll never think about it again though.
Sure thing. This post is about Denmark though, where the nuclear power has been banned by hippies in the 80s, and the same old idiots now decline expanding solar power because they prefer to look at fields of manure instead of solar panels.
Money isn’t the issue.
Nimby’ism is preventing the expansion of solar and wind. Nimby’ism will also prevent the building of a large nuclear plant.
I hope the change of law will enable more research on modern nuclear power.
They closed down all, about 1400 small farms, in 2020.
The ban was removed in 2023. 6 larger farms have reopened since then, comparable to 15 of the previous farms.
It was a total shit show, but at least the clean up forced all the skeletons out of the closet.
The lines don’t matter as long as you don’t cut it.
Place it, then cut it. The cut will be correct if you cut it where you want it cut, not where you think in advance that you want it cut.
Ah shit, I thought it was OC. Whatever. The bar is pretty low, huh?
According to the source, he didn’t saturate it.
I drive by something like that daily. Some days it does look like that, but it mostly looks like a regular manure field. Capturing it on camera is a matter of timing.
It’s a different culture altogether, where a job is expected"for life", which also makes it difficult to quit a job. People are literally hiring other people to deliver their resignation notices because it’s impossible to do in person.
It’s going to fluctuate a lot on it’s way down.
The people who bought it for a high price will also buy at lower prices to get a better average in total. These kinds purchases will increase the price for no other reason and self fulfill the option to sell the total at a slightly higher average than rock bottom. It’s a (risky) way to cut the losses. Many people are probably still holding on to the overpriced stocks. With these things combined, existing investors can maintain an artificial high price. However, unless new investors start buying, it’ll slowly but steadily lose value over time as existing investors manage to seep out.
Not a hoopy frood.
You could use your ticket money to pay off your mortgage, so all of your spendings are costing you the same interest at minimum.
So if you have a mortgage, you’re not supposed to buy anything until the house is paid off?
Shit dissolves better. Food (generally) has more fats and oils that will stick and clog the pipes…
It’s the same pipe.
