Sam Harris had a video on free will, and in it, he asked the audience to think of something (a color, or something simple but spontaneous). Then he asked them to try and think when in their thought process did that choice make itself known and get picked? I don’t think it’s as simple as there being free will or not, but I think what we experience is a bit of both coming together to give a sense of choice and self, when actually some things are deterministic by who we are or have become through life and experience. The wiring in the brain and its software. We’re not so hard wired that we can be perfectly predicted every time, but we do have preferred pathways created over time that influence any actual choice that’s made at the core.

So in answer to the title, it’s yes and no. There are some things that are far more fixed in our personalities that we understand at least partially why we do what we do. Then there are others that we don’t or can’t, or take years of therapy to figure out. But it’s a mix.

Of course they’re stealing; they have no morality in anything else they’re doing.

Some might say thumbs up works for that, but there’s also an up or down arrow, which suggests a vote either way.

Where the peak is depends on how you measure it. Wavelength or frequency gives different curves. If measures as a perfect blackbody the peak is green (which is connected to why chlorophyll took off, even though it’s less efficient for energy capture). But we get all visible light to some degree, so its color is white. Classification has a different meaning than what it looks like.

I’ve found the only long-term, totally happy dual boot system is where you autoboot into Linux. And never boot into Windows. Every now and then I have to go back into my Win10 to do something (much rarer now, almost ready to reclaim some space). Boy, Windows hates having any signs you’ve been somewhere else.

“Lockdown” in quotes, because it wasn’t a full lockdown. They started, but then realized that the economy would really tank, so they loosened it up a bit and made some nice PR (“6 feet” and “15 days”) to convince us that things were fine and under control.

This is good parenting. You can’t always be there to guide them or restrict them, nor should you want to be. You instead help them understand how to navigate the world themselves smartly. This is true for anything, not just what they see on the internet.

That or the price of advancement has made things impossible to fix without swapping out entire components or just get a new one. Which has been taken advantage of by making things fail a lot sooner. So much easier to make it cheaper so it gets replaced, and it keeps the company in business and is more profitable.

Or you have the bit rate high enough so you only max it out at the inner song and just don’t need it at the start.

There’s a lot pumped into a single groove, based on video on how stereo works on vinyl.

Aka Helen Keller universe. That’s mind blowing to think about, I think you may be onto something. Maybe their perspective would be much more open, as they can feel their body and understand its reference points, so the stronger stimuli would shift their POV to the place receiving it briefly?

If you’re playing a 1st person game and it’s very immersive, your “self” migrates to the screen point, i.e. right behind the character’s eyes location. So I think your statement is right. A good test would be to ask someone blind from birth (to avoid previous experience with sight) where their sense of being is. Maybe it’s a bit back, between the ears?

What’s the philosophical term for thinking that “you” are not in the brain either, but rather riding along the electrochemical signals and formations throughout the brain, and this would include the rest of the body in the sense of feeling and control of it and its feedbacks (which is the point of OP). It’s not really duality or a soul, as its dependent on both body and mind to be functioning correctly and intermingled.

House dust is up to 50% human skin particles. You’re breathing in all sorts of crap, and outside I’m sure there’s loads more including animal crap.

That’s 2.5B with 80 views a day, or 1.25 with 160 a day. Sadly those numbers aren’t that unbelievable the way people consume short media. Just average it out so some make up for others only watching a few.

And depending on your refrigerator’s settings and insulation, the door compartments may be cold enough for more stable things but not for things like milk. Too me a bit to figure out having the milk in the door was both convenient and cutting its lifetime down a lot. Only takes a few degrees, plus the large door shelf is usually higher up, where the warmer air is.

You’re probably right, as that is the tendency of most people, to not have to go outside a comfort zone. It’s also assuming that’s true, and for all you know people who are stating this very thing might also be trying to do local action and failing because they’re alone. So rather than put someone down for asking a valid question, we could explore why people aren’t doing much of anything overall, and what can be done to change that outside of things getting far worse (which they will, as they have before).

In addition to what’s been mentioned, he has certain protections as long as he’s President.

Animal food use should be pulled back a lot. But let’s also concentrate on how much of agriculture area is used for non-food.

Kokoro was the one I was going to mention. I played around with it a bit, was very impressed with the speed and quality. And then I realized I had been using it in CPU mode. GPU is incredible.

We have most of them picking job security vs. asking the hard questions, and when a few do ask something beyond what’s expected from the officials we call them “brave”. All of them should be doing this.

Some of them from some networks are playing the game because they profit from it, which is a problem as well.
