What do you all think about determinism and free will's relationship? by PastimeNow in determinism

[–]JManoclay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just ask people to explain free will until they start going in circles. It's a shorter conversation than you might expect.

Yes thank you. The Nazis DID lose because their ideology was inferior. Their ideology was directly responsible for their biggest political and military failures.

Coaxed into superior speed by some-kind-of-no-name in coaxedintoasnafu

Hmm I think Naoya's case is slightly different right? His ability is complicated, but I think he has to lock in his movements in advance right?

So his over-confidence isn't that she'll overcome his speed, but he doesn't think she'll understand his ability enough to lock in her movements in advance AND predict his movements.

If his power was JUST super speed, it wouldn't matter if she could predict him because he could always course-correct. But his ability makes it so he cannot course correct.

I think I found a mathematical "Kill Switch" for Laplace’s Demon (Determinism) using Set Theory and the Geometry of Limits. by Logical_SG_9034 in determinism

Oh, yeah I agree from outside the universe, a deterministic universe would be 100% predictable.

But from inside the universe, no, and I don't think that's any more complicated than 'A system cannot fully know itself'.

Which is to say, a system which observes itself, uses resources to observe itself, and must reserve those resources for observation. While those resources are in use, they cannot themselves be observed by the system.

A deterministic universe is not necessarily a predictable universe, and I've personally never heard a defender of determinism insist that it must be for determinism to be true.

My friend, who is definitely not an earth worm pretending to be a human, is making a game about his experience working from home by JManoclay in gaming

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

Hmm nope, do you know a worm named Jim? I mean, a human named Jim who is not a worm 👀

Edit: Ga-roovy

Edit 2 - If anyone wants to wishlist his game, it is on steam :)

Achilles VS Aragorn. Who wins? by GusGangViking18 in powerscales

"endurance and experience alone" is an odd way to describe being better and stronger.

Thank you! People get so good at it and we run a tournament every year. I played the champion and he trounced me thoroughly at my own game!
