One could argue it should be an opt-in firstly. I find that difficult for creating the same service but just.

Wow, this is like a drug dealer lacing their services with fentanyl. In all seriousness I'm making the comparison because in both cases the sanctity of life is being violated in favour of arrogant self-interests.

My opinion is compatiblism (like it or not) does delude people into not understanding they have no control over how they came to be as a person, the wealth they accumulate, the relationships, the awful things that happened to them if they d

Compatibilism is defining free will differently than how most people think of free will. Free will is an illusion in the traditional sense and thinking of compatibilism changes everything but doesn't give free will in the traditional s

I don't believe in free will because it doesn't make sense when you understand determinism. You cannot be free when every thought & action is the outcome of the past forces exerted upon you. My understanding of superdeterminis

I think it greatly depends on where you work, the group of people you're around, and if the atmosphere is open office or something more discrete like cubicles. My open office division of where I've been assigned, has a group of pe

USA taught me how little people can have as basic rights and because they think of "equality" without factoring in financial status; since they think everyone earns what they get in life. Majority of US is religious. So, I can see

You don't choose anything. I'm finding it hard that anyone can think otherwise with research such as the article indicating function before awareness.

I’m a hard determinist and I’m finding this philosophy similar to religion. It’s my first time reading about it but my impression is perennial philosophy is for people trying to force meaning by clinging to a constructed belief without the

I disagree, HN is everything opposite of what was originally described. I can go look at youtube & come back to this site and see similarities with the design choice.

devil's advocate: HN is very minimalistic with design.

Bell's theorem doesn't rule out super determinism. So it's kind of whatever you want to believe (kind of situation) when it comes to not being able to have proof one side or the other. I upvoted your post btw.

> Unfortunately that is not the case. The thing is we cannot say it's not the case. I used to think like you as well. That's the disturbing problem I witness with people writing off quantum mechanics as not being deterministic.

by sysbin 7y ago
What's your definition of unpredictable & random? I'm interested because you write off quantum mechanics as unlikely to be deterministic. When everything being deterministic is more realistic and from scientific understanding

I agree. People that dislike someone, wait for things to confirm their personal bias and ignore positive things the disliked person does. First impressions are so important and prevent unreasonable headaches with someone.

I'm starting to think it's better to not be born (into society today) unless born into a rich family. The sociopaths have no checks & balances and everyone can just watch everything get worse.

I assume the free will ideology creates unethical behaviour by the outcome of creating justification towards social stratification. Then we get falsehood excuses for materialism and judgement & punishment of the less privileged. The hig

The new UI in Catalina is worse. You cannot view other albums when you have an album open, instead you have to click a button to go back for viewing all the albums again. I also think the music app takes way too much space of the screen for
