I would love to see any study/article about so, in my research I've never noticed a connection to superposition.
August 11, 2020 at 19:20
Nope, their actions were determined too, and you keep going back, for it all to be determined. Choice is an illusion as I illustrated, in order to cho...

the disk rotating is, the actual process of rotating isn't necessarily.
August 11, 2020 at 00:00
Yes I would agree, that is exactly my position
August 10, 2020 at 23:55

Ignorance dies in the face of scrutiny, but not for the ignorant.
August 10, 2020 at 23:23

August 10, 2020 at 23:05

now you're just going Ad Hominem, I have checked the thread, and you presented no argument for free will or against determinism, you literally just ca...
August 10, 2020 at 22:50
My argument is, that you don't make the choices you think you do make, you have an illusion of choice, of free will, but it actually is none existent ...
August 10, 2020 at 22:43
Let me formulate this deductively, I chose my breakfast therefore I have free will, this is clear circular reasoning, a logical fallacy mon amie, I am...
August 10, 2020 at 22:37
haven't even presented a counter argument or an argument for free will at least, jesus Argumentum Ad Lapidem
August 10, 2020 at 22:26

bizarro world? dude you're in a philosophy forum, you must damn know what determinism is? only the quantum basics of the universe are contingent, noth...
August 10, 2020 at 22:03
Yes. There is no personal determination, you never had any ability to determine your future.
August 10, 2020 at 19:51
no you dont have the choice to eat, in order to do something you must want to do it or you are forced to do it, if you want to eat you will eat, can y...
August 10, 2020 at 19:36
Of course, because they weren't determined for so, it isn't their choice, they don't have a choice, i don't, you don't, no one does, this is just wher...
August 10, 2020 at 19:32
Such is an argument from incredulity, what I mean in simplified terms is, 1+1 (process) = 2 (result), 2 is actually just the process 1+1, that is corr...
August 10, 2020 at 15:50
the mind is a result to a process, that process is physical, the mind is just a result of it, i.e. doesn't have to be physical, and that process in th...

they're relative, The mind or consciousness is a result to a process, going on in the brain, not an inherit object with mass itself, the brain and pro...
August 10, 2020 at 15:03

August 10, 2020 at 02:47
elaborate please?
August 10, 2020 at 02:38
ITS NOT A CHOICE, no one has choice, determinism prevails, but alright, take care
August 10, 2020 at 00:53
I do not have a choice, neither do you is the point, its the inevitability of our condition
August 10, 2020 at 00:41
Determinism is clear, a man cannot want what he wants. suffering is not temporary to surpass, it is permanent, it is infact life itself, meaning you u...

pain is a part of suffering
August 09, 2020 at 18:52
I would disagree somewhat I think not only the close future but the long term one are all full of suffering, I'd say it is not something to embrace, i...
August 09, 2020 at 18:44
why is it objectively bad in this instance?
August 09, 2020 at 18:40
the mind or consciousness is a process, the brain occupies space, the electrochemical signals do, consciousness is just a result or outcome of such, i...

August 09, 2020 at 15:03
why is doing something rational? yes, and its subjectiveness means one man's happiness is anothers suffering, that's ultimately inevitable, there is n...

August 08, 2020 at 20:35
why? who said so? and why? would skinning a cat live be moral in this case? would torturing any none human be moral? and what makes us different from ...
August 08, 2020 at 20:09
killing and hurting animals
August 08, 2020 at 20:02
