Commented in Here’s why so many physicists are wrong about free will – George Ellis | Aeon Essays
That’s a LOT of $10 words to get to
If you seriously believe that fundamental forces leave no space for free will, then it’s impossible for us to genuinely make choices as moral beings
kinda weird considering the preceding 5000 words. Feyman said - and I’m paraphrasing - that one cannot claim to understand something if they cannot explain it in plain language terms to a layperson
also there’s this:
how can order emerge out of this chaos? As explained by Denis Noble and Raymond Noble in their paper for the journal Chaos in 2018, molecular randomness gives cellular mechanisms the option of choosing the outcomes they want
Er... begging the question much? After 79 paragraphs of molecular mechanics of chemistry of cells we just label things with conclusions? Is that how debates work when you are emeritus?
For the sake of argument, let’s [...] take the deterministic view seriously. It implies that the words of every book ever written – the Encyclopaedia Britannica, Das Kapital, the Harry Potter series – were encoded into the initial state of the Universe, whatever that was. No logical thinking by a human played a causal role in the specific words of these books: they were determined by physics alone
Wow. Clearly applied maths guy cuz that fails some basic analysis in concrete math
To muse in the parlance of our times: por que nos dos? Have you considered that determinism and logical thinking are not mutually exclusive? Or is that a deliberate false dichotomy?
stick with applied math my man. Debate is not your thing
to be clear: I have no horse in this race. I’m entirely agnostic about the free will/no free will debate
free will => pass the beer nuts; no free will => also pass the beer nuts
having said that it’s not only physicists who lay claim there’s no free will; there are also biologists like Sapolsky (see related link lecture series)

Commented in New Podcast Explores Whether the Scorpions Hit 'Wind of Change' Was Written by the CIA
... because we all know how great they are at music.
I mean, I get what the article is saying, but it still seems kinda weird to me! Although I suppose at the same time no less weird than the Russians writing fake news around the last election time, and that turned out to be true (I think).

Commented in Filing Your Taxes Is an Expensive Time Sink. That’s Not an Accident.
I come from Eastern European country. I am not used to filing my taxes, and yes I find it inundating to fill in taxes in US
BUT
I also find that if you file as a "simple person", with a single w2, then it is actually very easy. Yes, it is harder than in my country, but it also reminds you, that you are paying your money to the government. The money you have earned. No you don't earn 40k, you earn 55k, and you forfeited 15k to the government. You paid them dude. So you can expect stuff. In countries without this "simple people" often see taxes as weather, something that just exists and you can't do anything about, often they don't even know how much taxes they are paying.
And also I find that this cumbersome process actually is complex because it gives you hundreds of ways to save money depending on the life situation if you are smart enough to use them. It is highly optional to use them. You don't have to. Leave money on the table and file simple. Your choice.
And even if you pay to attorney to do you taxes for you, I don't see it as a burden because in "other Western nations" it is still done for you, just by the government agencies that using your money you paid in taxes (that are much higher than those $100)! And you cannot opt out and do it yourself, or do it with TaxAct or something else.
So again, yeah freedom is pretty cumbersome. Making choices and decisions, it's hard. But begging for someone to take the choice away because you're too inundated to spend your will power to make the choice is just weird.

Commented in Is Marijuana as Safe as We Think?
I used to smoke about half a gram per day for years and with some help of "just" CBD I am trying to quit for two weeks now. To be honoust, it is not that easy. I have real weird withdrawals, like a messed up sleep schedule and an eating pattern that is slightly adjusting to regular. THC is great for peace and joy in my head, but it makes me lazy as fuck. I have way more energy now and as it seems, I am getting all the energy I missed out on the past three years. At once. So, is cannabis innocent or harmless? I think not. Is it good for you in small doses and with constraint? Yes, I think so. For medication it is good, but please do that with advice from a medical professional. It is so easy to go down a slippery slope of using more and more and more.
