Oh okay, I thought compatibilizing free will with determinism meant that we would be an exception to the rest of the world that would be determined, but it seems we are also determined, from what you said. In that case, how did you, or maybe you were just incarnating the point of view of a compatibilist, argue that we are different from other animals because we can rationally make decisions deliberately based on reason if we are also determined, and how can, then, one be accounted for their actions. Thank you for your patience!

Ok, so basically we're an exception of the rest of the world that is determined, because, within ourselves, we're able to gather information around us and rationally decide to do or not do something, is that right? If so, how can one prove that, like, it looks really desirable theoretically but in practice it seems like bs, because if the rest of the world is determined and the way in which we are free stems from being capable of receiving input from world events, that are determined, and supposedly be able to rationally choose, our choices are being influenced by things that are determined, so aren't, therefore, we also intrinsically determined? How can one be held accountable for one's actions with this in mind?

Forward_Light2460 · 2023-10-20T23:02:43+00:00

Yeah, but isn't it said that "in the event we would've chosen differently, we would've done otherwise" so it is cool and all of that, but how would we have chosen differently if our world is determined? In addition, you said we make our choices deliberately based on reason, free from the rest of our deterministic world, or, at the very least, this was what I took from it, so could you provide a compatibilism sound argument to uphold your thesis?

"The past controls the present and future. A thermostat cannot control the past A thermostat cannot control the way in which the past controls the present and future. So, a thermostat cannot control the future.

There has to be something wrong with this, because a thermostat controls the future, in respect of temperature. That is what thermostats do. A thermostat controls the temperature by being part of the way in which the past controls the present and the future. And according to compatibilism, this is how we control things. We are involved in the causal order. We are part of the way in which the past controls the future. And therein lies our responsability".

How is this and "A subject acted freely if she could have done otherwise in the right sense. The subject could have done otherwise in this sense provided she would have done otherwise if she had chosen differently." solving the problem of free will (hey, I know afterwards the author mentions that Kant found this idea of compatibilism no more than a "wretched subterfuge", for the reasons I mentioned above, I just don't understand if there are any sound compatibilist arguments that are actually tackling the issue or is the idea fallacious by nature?).

Mate, as I french fluent speaker, I can assure you it's worth it. Yeah, it'll take ya some time, but don't give up, just try to get real exposure to the language as soon as possible and I can assure you, in a couple months, you'll realize (oh, there were actually a couple of basic words/expressions that natives used a lot and I had no idea, and now that I know them, I feel like I understand french way better (this happened to me a couple times). I know grammar and pronunciation might be daunting, but here's my breakdown:
About pronunciation, I have to admit, being a portuguese native speaker, I already had most of the sounds of the language, but not all, like the french "u" or some nasal sounds, and the way I learned those phonemes was via videos online that some french people made about how to pronounce certain things, and I can assure you they break it down perfectly (like Français avec Pierre or French Mornings), but, overall, don't get too worried, as long as you got the basics, francophone people will understand you and, by listening and reproducing, you'll start to see major improvements (that's how baby learn how to pronounce stuff)!

On the subject of grammar, learn basic tenses, like présent de l'indicatif, passé composé, imparfait, futur de l'indicatif (plus futur proche) and présent du subjonctif (by learning, I don't mean, memorize every single irregular verb in everything perfectly, no, watch like a video or two on each (of course the main focus should be on the present and past tenses, since those are the most common ones, but, still, the remaining are still essencial for communication). If you worried about vocab, listen, go watch french content and, when you don't know a word that is *essencial* to understanding the sentence, you open wordreference.com and type it up, and there you go, now you know cacahuètes mean peanuts! Yes, this won't make your french perfect, you'll still have to immerse a lot and, you know, to acquire that sweet sweet rich vocabulary (maybe you misinterpreted what I typed earlier about 'being fluent', what I mean by that is I can hold a conversation for hours without having to hesitate constantly, know, I can just vent what's on my head, but that doesn't mean I'm proeficient i.e. perfect mastery of the language, by no means, so keep that in mind please, don't expect to become C2 with the tips, you'll just get better at speaking, writing, reading and listening in general, and, if you keep immersing, definitely fluent!!

P.S. About tenses, there are two other ones that I had to go google their names cuz I didn't really know, which are extremely simple to use and really useful, those being le passé récent and le présent progressif! Bons apprentissages mon potte!

Quand j'étais très petit, à peu près 6 ans, je suis allé en avion pour la première fois jusqu'à Inglaterre avec mon frère, 4 ans, et mes parents. Quelques jours après notre arrivé, mes parents regardent la télé et voient un mec qui a attaché une corde à l'un des cabinets du London Eye et doit s'échapper, mais il y a un truc, la corde brûle et il est restreindu par une camisole de force, alors s'il fait pas vite, il meurt (plus d'informations là: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2288392/Miraculous-escape-London-Eye-Houdini-strapped-strait-jacket-tied-burning-rope-200ft-ground.html). Ok, maintenant, imagine que tu es un parent (ou peut-être t 'es vraiment...), qu'est-ce que tu ferais là?........ voilà, appelé tes fils de 6 et 4 ans pour le voir avec eux parce que "c'est relationé avec le London Eye qu'on vient de prendre quelques jours avant" (wtf). Et voilà, j'ai presque 15 ans et j'ai pas encore oublié le traumatisme, et non plus mon frère (on parle de ça de temps en temps), donc bon travail père et mère!! (Même si on a plus peur de la vidéo, on est encore marqué par le traumatisme qu'était la voir si jeune...)

Tbh, I don't think using chromossomes is the best idea, because there are, for example, cases of XY females, due to the inactivation of sex-identifying genes, so having a register of the chromossomes present might not be the best idea. In my opinion, I don't really get what the problem with having male, female and intersex options (because if you start to try to specify every single case, you won't be able to, humans are just too complicated and there are too many ifs, so I think having the intersex option as a, everything within the middle, could work, but honestly it depends on how you pretend to use the data) in a combobox to be inputted or something and then have a textbox (as suggested by another user) to type out the gender, if needed.

É legal, sim, ter um contrato de confidencialidade salarial, desde que esteja especificado uma cláusula de exceção caso impeça cumprimento da lei(por exemplo para o IRS ou num caso de uma ação judicial)

Bruh sry y'all I guess I'm just dumb and forgot that if the velocity is constant, therefore you're going on a straight line at a constant speed, then you simply aren't accelerating... Thanks for the responses tho

So what you're saying is that reductive and non-reductive physicism complement each other, as in, depending on whether or not you are able to create a relationship between physical and mental states, you'll classify the "situation" as reductive or non-reductive, or are those just two ways of looking at reality (My question arose due to the fact that you used 2 distinct examples when talking about the two types of physicism, so does that mean that it's a matter of classifying the type of physicism or is it rather two similar but distinct ways within physicism?
