by determinate do you mean deterministic? Or do you mean something else, like "what's actually happening under the hood still involves objective facts...

Are those the two options? Well they clearly fail for a reason, I think. And the reason is, the world is not classical. That's why our experimental re...

I really don't know why you're talking about nothing happening Vs something happening. There's nothing in my understanding of any of this that leads m...

Sorry for multiple responses, maybe I should post these together. In any case, this bit is probably not generally agreeable either. There are other si...

I suppose you're free to conclude that but that's certainly not my understanding, or I dare say the understanding of physicists who study qm. My entir...

The many worlds thing was an aside, and not at all necessary or required to understand everything I'm saying about bells theorem. The stuff I'm saying...

This is the second time I've ever tried to describe at length what's so important and fascinating about Bell's Theorem, but my first time was a semi-f...

I will lay it out soon, because it's one of the most fascinating things I've ever tried to understand. For now let me just reiterate this: The point o...

Do you mean many worlds? Many worlds doesn't disagree with it at all. Many worlds actually very naturally fits in with my description (I should also c...

well, if you're not interested in my long explanation of the implications of the results then, in short, what bells theorem proves is that we do in fa...

Sure, I thought the article maybe did a good job at explaining that but perhaps it's not as explicit as it could be. I'm only a layman, but I do have ...

if you've tried and struggled to understand it, I definitely recommend at least one go of the above article. It took some effort but it really clarifi...

I've found this article to be the most straight forwardly comprehensible explanation of bells theorem https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/AnHJX42C6r6deohT...

Trump's win, and subsequent loss, are actually pretty good evidence that American votes are in fact real, I never thought about it that way.

This is a very confusing sequence of words

yes, he is a compulsive liar.

exactly. It's ridiculous to hear "will of the voters" in this circumstance - Trump is being indicted because he wanted to take control against the wil...

The judge and jury should presume innocence until proven guilty. Not prosecutors and not the general public.

Imagine committing some pretty heinous crimes but you've convinced half the population that if you were to be tried for your crimes, that's proof that...

What I've found is that conservative conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy only as long as there's no evidence of the conspiracy. As soon as re...

Okay well the only way to investigate that is by looking at specific changes rather than general questions about change.

it's a very general question, it's probably better handled on a specific level - why did they want to change this specific election law to this? But, ...

perhaps you can go into detail? A voting change favouring one party doesn't mean the voting change is bad. If a neighborhood of old conservatives coul...

easy, if the changes to election laws were designed to allow more people to vote... In what world is blocking changes automatically good and not bad? ...

that sounds less like someone cares about election integrity and more like someone is upset they lost. All that happened AFTER he lost, right? Not bef...

so how did he fight for it then?

if he fought for election integrity, then why is he saying that the only presidential election he was ever president during is also the presidential e...

Addition is a specific algorithm. Quaddition is another specific algorithm. If someone's telling me that I'm wrong about what algorithm I'm using insi...

seems like you're just ignoring the whole section where I argue that addition generally solves the sorts of problems I use it to solve, even for numbe...

Ah right. Well, in that case, if I'm disregarding the obvious silliness of the whole thing, then I would think about the sorts of problems I was tryin...

Surely the only thing you need to prove historically that you weren't quadding is to show any instance where you've added two numbers > 57, right?

dude has already intimidated witnesses. I really hope they hold him to that agreement.

"I i think therefore I am" seems like the only justifiable 100% certainty to me. The best you can get after that, I would think, it's 99.9 followed by...

I think they're both corrupt, as in they both have corruption in the ranks, but I don't believe the corruption is the same. I don't believe the scale ...

Is anyone else just completely amazed that a man could try to brazenly steal an election and still a third of America wants to vote for him again? I'm...

I don't think a word of that responded to the question I asked.

How much of a crime would it seem like if Biden loses the election and does all the same shit Trump did though?

I don't think you should let the "victimless" angle go unchecked. It's only arguably victimless because he failed. "Attempted murder" is a crime still...

He refused to commit to a peaceful transition of power, and then it turned out he wasn't interested in a peaceful transition of power. The dude basica...

I'm not a lawyer, I'm not here to prove to you he was guilty. I can't provide anything, there are people whose job it is to do that and that's exactly...

yes, of course I agree. I don't personally need a confession to find a person beyond all reasonable doubt guilty of a crime involving intent. The same...

joking or not, it's relevant to the argument NOS is making. If NOS thinks that trump can't be guilty here because you can't prove intent without a con...

he's specifically talking about crimes where intent matters, I guess. Although, interestingly enough, intent DOES matter in a murder charge. If a lawy...

I thought he was snarkily saying the opposite lol.

Hitler didn't personally kill anyone. He only used words too. Not that those people in question are comparable to Hitler, just showing by example that...

but he's not using proof by assertion, is he? He made the assertion, and he's going to defend it in a trial, with evidence and arguments.

oh I get it, fantastic explanation. Thank you.
