I was just clowning around
First of all, i don't think we can reduce choices to something to optimize. You can't know everything and your benefit is a pretty unknown variable too. Being rational is great but also not suitable for every choice, it's not that that i would call free will.
Now the idea that what we are born as and every experience from then on shape you and your choice is a good hypothesis. It means we humans are just as deterministic as everything else.
Then free will is just the term we use for the unknown and unknowable in us. Like when we call rolling a dice random. But it's not a real physical thing.
But here is where my proposal can still be a good hypothesis too...
There is one thing that is a black box to our knowledge, not our biology or our brain, but our conscience.
We don't really know what it is yet. We know a lot of biology and we're getting better and better at understanding our brain. But our subjective experiences are not explained by science. And thus in it could lie something not deterministic.
(As a parallel, just like we don't know how to interpret quantum mechanics, wich could have true randomness, or not...)
P.S. i do this parallel with physics because i'm more knowledgeable on it, but also because i think there is a good amount of understanding and questioning we can have on determinism through it ^^
I don't think all-knowing exist outside of fiction, and neither do God.
But just for fun, I think there is an interesting way religious people would answer, and a more satisfying one than just saying God's works in mysterious way.
See we can see free will as a God given power to make choice in a otherwise deterministic world.
The testing would just see what we do with his power.
And since it comes from him, it could be outside of something knowledgeable, outside of the "all".
Or, at least to make him or his powers outside of the "all" would be the best solution to paradoxes like can 'God create a rock he can lift?' etc...
P.S. Obviously another way to answer the paradox and my personal belief is to discard the reality of words like all-knowing or omnipotent. But i think this view has some merits, it can't probably be better put philosophically... (I'm not a philosopher thought ^^)
Yeah, they added those forever ago, we really need a quality update. The end has huge potential imo, although that also mean it could take a while...
This is a fucking differential equation with unknown constants, so yeah, everyone will be burning...
At first glance i thought it was a sock
I had worse one time, met a Quebec girl, she introduced me to a friend, a guy from Martinique. And i'm from France...
That but also googling isn't that easy for some questions (especially for those who don't know how to google well).
For instance you lost the name of something, and let's say it's something niche...
I love how language ai can now help with that.
I think the difference is why we "usually" say that to women and men.
For women the sexist reason would be forcing women to smile just to look beautiful regardless of their emotional needs.
For men it's masking pain and being tough. Which, if you ask me can also disregard their needs and be toxic, depending on the context...
So, you're a warlock without the background story?
It's also a bit incomplete because he also said a object keeps the same speed, even if it's not zero (not moving). And the speed also has to keep the same direction. This does explain a lot about gravity, orbits etc...
And that's only the first law, it's a premise to the other even more helpful laws.
I'm not familiar with Facebook, but if you can't create a business account without a personal account, how would you create one without having multiple accounts?
My first thought, especially since you can't lick a gaz.
Now I'm also questioning myself about all noble gaz, what are they like in liquid (or solid) form?...
Good women make them
I get that, most people are like you, it's normal. Best thing for everyone is to avoid those persons.
But my point of view is a lot more optimistic, i think having this behavior isn't all their are defined as. They can still grow and learn, especially on other area of life.
Depending on how much they rely on this behavior you can have two approach...
If it's little, you can teach them better without them knowing, as long as it doesn't directly clash with their dogma, but it requires to be subtle.
If they rely to much on it, the best course is to detach their opinions from the real world and only speak to them with very down to earth things.
I know it will not always really work, most of the time my optimistic view is to idealistic. I can have it because i'm more tolerant, maybe too much.
The goods thing is, even if i'm wrong, i can enjoy myself doing this, and for the rare time i do change something in that person, well that feels great.
I do agree those people you speak about are uninteresting and mostly stupid.
But we should respect stupid people, their ideas aren't always worth respecting, but as people they themselves deserve considering.
And I praise anyone that has the patience to teach morons to be better people despite their own lack of judgment.
Yeah sure, making meth, using kids to sell drugs and killing them, being an addict, letting someone's girlfriend die of an overdose, forcing a relationship... All thoses nice family values.
Maybe you forgot that in the end Walter does also admit he did it for him, not his family.
Your username as two, wait three names in it, and none are jeff. I am confused, flabbergasted and quite possibly bamboozled.
Classical mechanics, right from the first time i learned Newton's laws, it was always so satisfying to me. Just pure and well rounded logic to explain everything, it's so neat.
Best example for me was the 2 body problem. Going from the 6 degrees of freedom to a simple uniform rectilinear motion of the center of mass and then leaving us with only 2 degrees of freedom. Such a elegant solution, so satisfying.
Or when joking but suddenly you see them notice it's real instead of laughing...
