Here’s my take: the answer is emergent phenomena. We live in a very complex system and in complex systems there are interactions that can only be predicted using systems of equal or higher complexity. So even in case everything is predetermined, it would still be unpredictable and therefore your decisions are basically still up to you and the complex interactions in your brain.
Is anybody NOT concerned?
Woah thank you so much for taking the time. I really struggle to understand this people. This does make sense.
Wow, i would like you to describe more in detail what these people think, your depiction so far is very clear
I feel like that’s just an excuse to let hitler-like people to what the fuck they want.
Economic freedom in this example is pure nonsense. I don’t want the freedom to overpay for something. The price point is also completely unreasonable. There are alternatives that could be implemented, like setting limits. Your example has a clear goal of promoting a certain world view that the existence of slavery is what makes us free. If that’s not a paradox a don’t know what a paradox is.
Wow, do you live in the middle of a desert? I would try to move anyway if that’s the real situation.
Cool, a close second place to my favourite of being bitten by a scorpion
Even after repeated attempts, I’m failing at understanding your point
+1 for the interrobang
It’s a dieresis, to let you know that the i is to be pronounced separately from the a.
Infinite complexity
The more varied the sample of individuals you can afford to keep alive in your population, the more chances you have that a subset of them will be able to withstand random changes in the fitness function. If the environment changes abruptly, you will have a hard time adapting as a species if you only ever supported people “within the norm”. What happens in those cases is called extinction.
Aww, so funny. Lemmy ha 2% posts by linux enthusiasts and 98% posts trying to make fun of linux enthusiasts. It stopped being fun months ago.
Whoa man, spoilers!
This is the problem of original intentionality. There are studies on it, for instance they found that with an mri they can detect when you have come to a decision before your conscious mind realizes you have. Some processes in our brain are outside of our control, because the brain is not just the neocortex but also includes tens of other structures that evolved separately with specific hard-coded purposes, but that doesn’t mean they are not working as a team. I think in any case you are still reaponsible for the decisions you take.
