I think my favorite weather is the calm before the storm.
It’s a GM for a GM ☀️☕️
You and everyone else
Sometimes both at the same time
After each #Bitcoin bear market, we test and retest the old ATH before leaving it behind forever.
In 2017, it took 8 weeks. In 2020 it took 3 weeks.
This cycle, we first tested ATH on March 4, 2024. It has been 11 weeks.
#100pushups a day until #Bitcoin $100k
Day 060: 2024-05-20 - 1x10 regular, 9x10 deficit
Mixed in air squats (7x10), barbell curls (3x20) and crunches (3x15).
To me, Free Will is observed, non-deterministic, goal-oriented behavior carried out by a complex adaptive system.
That is, if an entity has goals and takes steps to realize them, then it is exhibiting Free Will, IMO.
The exact quote was “it depends upon what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.” https://youtu.be/0_ipnwoPczQ
Haha, no worries. It’s from back when Bill Clinton was being questioned about Monica Lewinsky.
In any case, your question was “what is Free Will?”. It’s an “is” question. Definitional.
Definitional questions are often the most savagely debated, but also often pointless in application. How does defining Free Will make a difference to you? In what way would your behavior change based on that definition? What do you hope to learn in exploring these questions?

In the immortal words of 42nd President of the United States, William Jefferson Clinton, it depends on what the definition of “is” is.
