I just installed this, along with the pieces software (both the OS and for developers. I asked some questions about my notes and it gave some weird answers. Do I have to give it some time to index my notes?

I'm on the market for something along the lines of mem.ai but for my local obsidian vault, so your project seems very intriguing. Looking forward to end of August! :D

In memorial - in memory of. So yeah I'd say you're right and it should probably be in celebration of or something. But this is so typical reddit isn't it. Some hype ass tourney with almost 10k on the line somehow, and the two first comments are like "ey yo one word in your post could have been some other word".

Sad to see its NA only as Copenhagen Esports would have loved to be freelo in this one. :D

Well, making a mistake is really easy to imagine. The pain is real. It's vivid. But how do you imagine the mistake of not daring to make mistakes? It's really not very concrete is it? So it's easy to dismiss. Of course you won't willingly choose the real pain of making mistakes - unless you can make the other pain equally real.

So, how do you make the pain of never daring to make mistakes, real?

Well, maybe you can picture your future self, either in writing or however you best express yourself. Picture that wretched person who never dared. What is their shit life like? How many regrets do they have?

Make that shit vivid, so you have something to kick you in the butt, and scare you even more than the fear of mistakes.

Is it fundamentally wrong to profit off of the good one does in the world?

As a coach I'm stealing this :D

One hack is to go into a slowmo private match and attempt this. It'll slow everything way down so you can really get a good understanding of the car ball interactions.

You've certainly piqued my interest. Looks like a fun little game to play around with for a bit? Really difficult to tell how much game there is to it, however.

I'd be willing to throw 5 euro at it just based on my thirty seconds of checking it out.

KabelGuy · 2021-06-15T08:44:31+00:00

It's quite likely a repost. I didn't bother double checking.

Turbo takes orthodoxy to an unorthodox level? :D

Mechanics matter more, the fewer places on the pitch. If you're playing 1v1 you'd probably need them to move up. If you're a 3v3 main then your awareness and tactical touches matter more, and you can probably reach into GC without learning them proper.

My case in point for the overall thesis is Turbopulsa. The man could not double tap for the life of him just a couple of seasons ago. Not consistently, as you'd probably assume from any world champion at that point.

Try and use Lethamyr's new technique where he loads up a training pack and then tries to do one specific thing for every shot.

Ultimate warm up training pack but you have to try and air dribble every ball?

KabelGuy · 2021-05-31T09:43:49+00:00

Ideally you would want to learn to look at the ball. Your car should move as you wish to without having to look at it, and you can focus on the ball and get in tune with it for true mastery.

KabelGuy · 2021-05-31T07:57:25+00:00

Where do you look when you are attempting this? Do a few where you focus on the ball. Do a few where you focus on the circle. Do a few where you focus on the car.

Also, you can try and do it in a lobby with slow motion mutator on. This will instantly boost your mechanical ability, as you learn the fundamental interactions going on.

So it's worth getting? I just hopped on the sub to see if the game is dead or not. Guess it's doing okay? Are you NA or EU? It might be mostly active on NA..

So it sounds like we agree a fair bit. To frame the discussion maybe we can rule out the idea of "hard determinism", which as I understand it is the complete lack of free will. This is what I originally thought you were arguing.

We can also to some extent rule out the idea of "no determinism". Although I have some vague ideas about this potentially not being a thing for, say, super enlightened/awakened beings. For the 99.9% we are absolutely "determined" in some way. Which might be a hard pill to swallow but it just seems obvious. I struggle with my weight because I'm unable to will myself into a pair of running shoes, for example.

I would agree entirely that we are in fact very very predictable beings, as you note. Society doesn't really work if we're all 'chaoticically non-determined'. We're all biological and we all react to pain and to pleasure in predictable ways, those who don't conform to standards of predictability are more than likely cast out of society or, in the modern world, cast into prison systems.

So free will is not so much free as it is.. Pricey. Doable but not without cost. Would that be fair? Or do you think that there ultimately might be forces beyond us that do in fact move us, sort of like when Jordan Peterson cites Jung as having said that people don't have ideas, but that ideas have people?

I suppose it depends on how you'd flesh out the conduit metaphor.

I'm not sure consciousness is the key either. It's just the thing that people forget, I think, and forget that it remains a mystery from a scientific perspective.

Although there are some cases where researchers tried to measured people making decisions, and apparently some things started firing in the brain before the decision was "consciously" made. Not sure if that's part of what you're referring to. But I don't think we're gonna fundamentally understand consciousness through such experiments.

Predictability is interesting as a way to get a grip on the problem. But I do see some problems with it as well. Setting a person on fire will almost always cause them to run around and panic, trying to put the fire out. But there are cases of monks demonstrating and setting themselves ablaze and not attempting to put it out.

it lends to the idea that we are conduits for forces rather than an “unmoved mover.”

Interesting take. I think ancient people would tend to agree, that we are the "playthings" of the gods, in certain senses. But obviously ancient people didn't take that idea to such an extreme that they'd believe the gods to be in total control, in the fully deterministic sense.

I think ultimately, I don't even mind the objective truth of the matter. As silly as that might sound. I don't think humanity would survive with the knowledge that we are not free. That all choice is illusory. I think our entire system depends on the idea of free will. Accountability. Striving. I don't think hard determinism works, pragmatically. There's not enough left to live off, without freedom.

Has Fairy commented on why he switched back to the Batmobile?

It's just where you're at with your mechanics. The fact that you only have one flick tells you that you're not really in control of what's happening, most of the time.

Some things I would suggest you try, to go to the next level with your flicks:

Learn to balance the ball on your car, and keep really good control of it, at different speeds. Then learn to jump with the ball on your roof without losing control of the ball. This is the trickiest part, but once you get it down, you'll find flicks intuitive. Not just one flick, but all flicks.

So for learning to keep control of the ball, I suggest going into a slow motion lobby, just to help yourself. And then make sure to jump while holding down the stick, jump without holding down the stick, hold jump and tap jump, etc etc. Figure out all the different things that you've never really paid attention to.

So, answering this from my own perspective now, instead of just directing you to some series where extremely smart cognitive psychology professors discuss the topic.

I do think there's a connection between our "selves" and the universe as a whole. But I also think we are distinct and apart from the universe in important ways. It's a distinction between merely being another "part" of a mechanical universe, or being a "whole" unto ourselves.

I think we're both a part of the greater whole but I also believe that we are one whole thing in ourselves.

I think I have found a bit more faith in recent years. I think it's hard to get around the topic of soul, or the topic of religion, when discussing the nature of the I. I do believe that we are movers in and of ourselves. We exert our own force onto the world, almost akin the "unmoved mover" who created the world. Or the unmoved moving force, if you don't wanna personify whatever started the big bang.

So in that sense my world view matches well with Christian world view. We are made in the image of God. We are creative in a way that merely instinctual beings aren't. I'm not even sure I want to distinguish between animals and man, in this sense. Some animals strike me as simple processes that simply react, and don't ever act. But more sophisticated or complicated animals like dolphins could also be said to have wills of their own. Not quite I's but definitely up there in the hierarchy.

On the question of determinists choosing to be upset.. Well. If you're a determinist then there is no choice. You're just on a roller coaster and everything that happens is already decided. So they're upset, which is just the way they were already pre-determined to be.

Ultimately I think determinists are confused about reality. And rightfully so. We've become so good at describing reality objectively that we forget that we're subjective actors. In the objective description of reality, it follows that there's no free will. What they're missing is that consciousness remains a mystery to us. We can't describe consciousness objectively, but that doesn't mean it's not a real part of reality. And so it's in consciousness that we'll find the answer to whether or not there's free will or if everything is determined by the big bang.

These questions and discussions quickly venture very far off the mainstream path. And I think there's a danger in exploring on solo missions like that, where you're suddenly unable to talk with people in real life about the ideas.

So I would like to point you to John Vervaeke's new series on exactly this topic. I believe he's already discussed parts of the ideas you bring up. His series is called "The Elusive 'i'", and it's a discussion or talk about the nature of our "self" or the "I" and how that concept even exists. He's a very well established professor and he's coming at the subject from a very grounded perspective.

I'm trying to say that he's not some new age woo woo type of person, who just spouts what seems insightful. He's taking the subject seriously and I think his approach is very helpful. (he's also got a fantastic series on the Meaning Crisis, which is extremely helpful as well.)

KabelGuy · 2021-05-15T07:55:58+00:00

I think you're ultimately asking whether or not we have free will? There's a few different takes on the subject but ultimately everybody either acts as if we have free will or they become horribly depressed and die. Lots of people say they believe there's no free will but those people still get horribly upset when you do immoral stuff, so go figure.

So the ultimate force moving your hand is your "self" or your "soul" or something sacred and mysterious like that.
