It can be either one: i can think about how i want to murder someone (technically, part of the choice, in the "choice is process" logic). If i decide ...
Stop trying to change the framing of OPs question: the question is "anyone". This kind of behavior is confusing. It's not a hypothetical scenario, bec...
People are still against psychiatry: even though the whole mental health system has achieved more praise and acceptance. Now adays, the main oppositio...
Yeah, and unfortunately that is not enough sometimes. Sometimes you also need to not look "suspicous" or "sketchy". I don't get your grammar/phrasing ...
unfortunately i have to go, but i do want to respond to this, as it's important: i tend to think of people as manipulative and sinister animals, so ju...
this is probably the most interesting criticism of my post: but it's still not technically true. Naming and labeling (yes, necessary for human interac...
"Is" "is" "is". Don't you get tired of that? IMO, that's part what causes confusion about sex/sexuality. I have never needed anyone to tell me what i ...
That's fine, you can believe it's you or someone else could have done something differently, but it's just an opinion. For me, i think its really impo...
No i never said that, what i'm trying to say is this: "Could anyone have made a different choice in the past than the ones they made?" It's fine and p...
since "the past" is a done deal, then i have to answer no. Is this some sort of survey in relation to free will and determinism? "Free Will vs. Determ...
but that's the reason why the chance of seeing heads and tails stays constant: sleeping beauty, by default, must be woken up to participate in the exp...
I can't know what the creators of A.I. know, but i personally know enough about computers, programmers, and computer technicians to know that humans c...
It's not intentionally anything, but when it pretends to relate to you (telling you it agrees), then that indicates that maybe the creators and mainta...
Yes that's correct, because over the years i have developed a semi-professional inclination to diagnosing and fixing computer issues, and also hobby c...
Oh not at all, i just wanted to start the many possible questions with that one: it was rhetorical in the sense that i do not believe it, or think it'...
Yeah i can't read it cover-to-cover, but i somehow managed to do it with volume II in the "history of philosophy." I think maybe anything related to p...
assuming there is nothing mysterious or "spooky" influencing a coin flip, then the answer is always is always 50/50 heads or tails. Maybe I misunderst...
hahaha, yeah well that's the reason we can't stop using it. Disagreement certainly isn't always good: sometimes people who disagree fundamentally misu...
It's not wrong, it's spooky just because of the gauranteed amnesia, which makes it weird and susceptible to forgetfulness. I think the problem was cre...
okay, thanks for clearing that up, as i read the original description of the fake experiment more than once, and that part of it was unclear to me. To...
Ah, but the thing i find unsettling is that A.I. is also dishonest, it tries to appease you. However, yes, sometimes it is better than the weirdness o...
But as far as moderation strategy is concerned, there's the uncanny valley. A.I., hence the A, is made to look like intelligent human speech. It's lik...
but doesn't the first coinflip is every phase of the experiment matter the most if it lands on heads, because then it ends? I understand the 1/3rd log...
So i guess to increase her odds, she bets tails 100% of the time since she can't remember which phase of the experiment she's in, and the 2/3rds tails...
yeah from an emotional standpoint, dualism does make a lot of sense (day and night, good and bad, life and death, etc.) the more amoral or physics rel...
i personally have never understood "faith". I guess it's the same as confidence, that you can trust in the future, and as OP explains, something you "...
It seems that it's a system designed for the survival of the whole organism, i don't get what you mean by it being "closed". yes, they can't be closed...
I would personally recommend that you go directly to the source and discuss quotes rather than trusting redditors to describe their positions, because...
However, i should point out that to an extent Greek pagans agreed with you: Protagoras himself said something like "we can't possibly know whether the...
I completely disagree: saying "i don't know if there's a god", but accepting that there could be one, is different from saying "there is no god, look ...
Nietzsche in Dawn says that philosophy imitates the natural sciences (ones that imitate real life experimentation and classification) but it's just a ...
And what is so wrong with atheism? Is it a problem of insecurity, that there are things which can't be known? The problem is avoided with agnosticism,...
that's exactly what i was trying to criticize: real life moral and ethical decisions are complex, laden with fear, laden with shame, laden with politi...
The thing I have never liked about this problem is that the "obvious choice is to divert the trolley to kill one person instead of three", and so is t...
i don't know, that's why i was asking Mijin: there are still a lot of people who are not literate and cannot study. I would think inequality would jus...
can you point to examples of this? I think there are inherent problems with trying to measure economic inequality. Not that modern life is better or w...
Even though I do think there are issues with "A.I." (advanced chat bots and robotic automation), people have been saying it's going to take everyone's...
So if the last coin flip doesn't effect the outcome, doesn't that mean it's always 50/50? If i understand correctly, getting heads the first time mean...
