Trying this today

They are creepy and a bit gross.

👍 It’s called Gymbook. In order to log what I did I had to use approximate activities for some.

I think people vote for what they want and sadly for us all, they get it. For the most part this. obviously there are people with more influence and power across the world. In second place would be the bureaucracies of governments.

I would leave it open that I don’t think emotions themselves are choices. But I don’t think hate or love is an emotion. Anger is an emotion, and joy, but what you do with them are choices. I have lived those choices.

I don’t have a lot of personal experience In hating or not hating someone. Hate seems pretty extreme to me, none the less, or perhaps because of that, Yes I believe you can choose not to hate someone. More to my personal experiences that I have had, I believe you can choose to love someone. And more directly if ever in a relationship for a long enough time there will be occasions where you will have to *choose* to love them in order for the relationship to last. The love chemicals eventually wear off, or there is a testing, A rough patch. I’m not saying you should always choose it with everyone, with some people choosing to love them will be bad for you as they are toxic, manipulative, and hurtful. But it is a core belief that love is a choice. And with all other decisions as well, Otherwise you will be tossed to the winds in terms of the direction of your life by your emotions.

Holy shit 🤣 😆 🤣

I think it’s just good sci fy. The success has to be reflective of him as an author, and he wasn’t a one hit wonder either.

I’ll bite

You just doxed yourself. 🤦‍♂️😂😂😂

Not a cop, but As a practical matter my understanding is that they wait until money is exchanged for this reason. Paying the money is an overt act which is proof of intent and that an agreement between two parties is made. Otherwise “I was just blowing off steam, it was just two guys talking” is a legitimate defense. In practice people must have lived in a time before conspiracy to commit murder was a crime itself and they didn’t like the outcomes (breaking up a plan to murder before it happens and they get away with no punishment) so it becomes a law.

Pickled beets are amazing.

Let me put it like this. Zeno had a paradox where he argued all motion was impossible. You can look it up for the reference. But it was a paradox because fundamentally he predated calculus.

“When the Eleatic philosopher Zeno denied the existence of motion, his adversary is said to have responded by simply standing up and walking around.”

Maybe there is an understanding we still don’t have to fully explain a proof for why free will exists, nonetheless I will walk about the stage of my life. Feel free to sit in a puddle instead. 😀

I’m a big fan of americas test kitchen.

Ok so you’re fine with limits to free speech as long as they are not imposed by the state. You just think those limits should be imposed by individual judgment.

Somehow it’s also true that the same percentage will happily change positions if their team does the same without thought or evidence.

Sounds like what you mean to ask is “if your actions are predetermined, do you have free will”

Does an action *doer* have free will when they do the action, when the action is predetermined.

I’ll keep it short and say perhaps it is a paradox but paradoxes may only have the appearance of contradiction because they are lacking an insight.

If all past and future is played out simultaneously perhaps there is no problem with a will created within an event simultaneously impacting the direction of that event freely across space and time. Perhaps the free will is not the contradiction, only the narrative told from beginning to end is a particular perspective.
