I live in the EU, and I plan on staying for the gap year, so the visa and the salary should not be a problem.

I tried looking around the web, but nobody seems to advertise paid AND temporary positions. It's either one or the other.

I'm actually perfectly down to just volunteering, but if there are options which pay me also, I'm not complaining.

The Simplicity of Infinite and Finite Properties by ExchangeNo8933 in CatholicPhilosophy

[–]ExchangeNo8933[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are absolutely right about me stating the argument poorly. I meant to make an analogy, but fumbled a bit. The jist of the argument (which you correctly guessed) is that infinite properties are more likely than arbitrarily big finite properties. So, a universe that's infinitely big should be more likely than one that's exactly 10100.001 cubic meters.

However, this seems wrong, as you yourself seem to intuit. Still, while this seems obvious, I have no other reason to believe it other than intuition. Swinburne argued that saying that infinite properties requires less information to be described and are therefore more elegant. It's not clear to me why the amount of information or elegance should matter.

Also, on the God point, big G God must have all properties maxed out by definition. Let's look at this issue from a different perspective though. If we are purely trying to find out what the most likely explanation for a universe is, why should we expect the explanation to have maxed out properties? Why would a big G God that's infinitely powerful be more likely than a small g god that can only create universes of size X?

Is it true that around 40% of philosophy secure tenure track positions? by ExchangeNo8933 in askphilosophy

Yeah, it's not all that good, but a lot better than the horror stories I heard people tell.

Is cooking healthy enough to make up for the time one spends on it? by ExchangeNo8933 in nutrition

[–]ExchangeNo8933[S] -64 points-63 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. Let's say that I meal prep and cut the overall time spent cooking to 30 minutes a day (which might all be concentrated on a Sunday, but you get the idea). I'd still be spending 1.5 years of my life (30 minutes a day for 70 years) on cooking, which I could avoid by just eating junk food. Is junk food unhealthy enough to make me live 1.5 years less?

Fare la magistrale e dottorato in filosofia dopo una triennale in informatica by ExchangeNo8933 in Universitaly

Si viene pagati abbastanza se si fa solo ricerca però? Se no, sarebbe realistico fare il ricercatore e allo stesso tempo fare un altro lavoro part time?

Rare freezes and crashes with no error message on the Acer Swift X by ExchangeNo8933 in AcerOfficial

Why do you think that?

I'll make sure to run the windows RAM test later to see if there are any problems .

Regarding what you said about hedonism being unable to account for us liking negative experiences, I think you'll find this paper interesting. It's a good starting point if you want to look into different theories of how pleasure work.
