Well, t.i.l., thanks 👍

You used the microwave ? 🤨

Hi @intensely_human
You are the only one here who gets it easily even though I didn’t say much. Also in this tread I’m now up to 8 levels’ comments with @grabyourmotherskeys but we are getting nowhere & I am quite feedup. So if you could do something here I would appreciate.

Thanks

It’s something I think about constantly, whether I want to or not! ;)

When I was young I was in that situation, with those same questions. But I was lucky : I had the right science and the right IQ and I found the answers. You are now thirsty and I gave you some salt ; if you are too blind to see it or too arrogant, bad for you, so i will not come back to this.

Goodbye.

at what point ( … ? )

Before answering this I need to know if you get the basics : what do you understand so far ? About chaotic systems ? About their variable rate of exponential divergence ? About their “liberty” ? About the fact we have such systems in us, only far more complex ?

And beyond any explanations, if you came to know we have free will, how could we stand the shame and guilt of not doing enough ?

At what point does the causal chain get interrupted ( … ?)

The system is diverging at every point in time :

In chaotic systems, the uncertainty in a forecast increases exponentially with elapsed time. (… same article from Wikipedia)

I believe one has to see this before being able to apply it to free will explanations.

The double-rod pendulum is one of the simplest dynamical systems with chaotic solutions. …from Wikipedia

This system is very simple yet even with initial conditions varying by (less than) Planck’s time or Planck’s length, theoretical resulting behavior changes after a few cycle.
Physical determinism says that there cannot be creation of (new) information yet this system does exactly that.

This rewriting of Harry Potter : HPMOR asks and solves these questions.

interesting … so I looked it up here :
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_taxonomy …and “homo sapiens sapiens” is not well defined for now at wikipedia - - maybe not the best source I know.

Do I read it correctly that you are an evolutionary biologist ?

Yes …and the name will have to change from Homo sapiens to something else.

is it Elon or Hell_on …Musk ?

You would need a lot of dry ice to make a dry martini. So yes, we can’t have (drink) a dry martini or dry wine and we do not rest in the restroom usually.

oups, I know, so made one more comment
( the Right image in other comment )

this image is also from your link

the following image is from your link and I believe not from this year.

“Lemmy.world” because it’s the largest one for the moment.
Before the Reddit exodus, a few days ago, “lemmy.ml” was the largest one but it’s admins are also on “lemmygrad.ml” !

They ban anyone vocal & lucid.

nice humor 😆 shouldn’t be downvoted !
