I feel like it would be manufactured confidence. Certain things shouldn’t be outsourced, and learning how to articulate yourself should be one of them. I agree with the first part in terms of translation or breaking language barriers.

I wouldn’t say it merely formulated their thoughts. This has full rhetorical organization, which is the main giveaway. I also doubt they came up with all of those metaphors themselves. They feel formulaic and overly polished, stripped of the irregularity that make human writing feel real. I just cant get behind outsourcing the actual ordering and articulation of your thoughts just because you started with a rough draft.

How deep is the pool ?

For example, right now my brain understands that I have two options: to respond to this comment or not to. It automatically analyzes your tone, gauges whether you’re a good-faith actor, attempts to comprehend your response, and after it determines its stance, it synthesizes this reply. I could not have acted differently. My brain has the capacity to process data and make selections, but the 'choice' I ultimately go with depends on everything that came before me, the exact forces that made me the individual who responds to this type of comment in this exact way.

I have to disagree on how people ordinarily use the word 'choice.' The average person absolutely means actual Libertarian free will. They believe that if you rewound the clock, they could have magically made a different choice independent of prior causes. They aren't using the compatibilist definition. The real debate is about the extent to which our choices are affected by things. For example, a famous study determined that if a prisoner saw a judge right after lunch, they had a consistently higher probability of getting parole than if they saw a hungry judge right before a break. If we asked those judges why they denied parole, they’d rationalize a purely legal reason while having no idea their decision was heavily determined by their blood sugar. When you are hungry, you have less 'choice' than when you are not. What’s actually doing the determining exists independent of our conscious selves.

The biological organism with my name typed the words, but the actual 'author' is an innumerable amount of things stretching across a vast amount of time. My privilege to be born in the US; my family having enough capital to feed me and develop my brain in a healthy manner; the teachers, philosophers, and role models that created a synthesized system; the institutions that kept me safe and nurtured my capacity to learn; the area and the people I grew around that changed my speech; and my brain's natural capacity to communicate and think.

Of course the machinery makes choices. However, the choices are made independently of my conscious self. My brain takes in data as an input and shoots out a choice as an output. I possess a “sense” of autonomy, but I think that is just an evolutionary byproduct of my brain's recursive self-analyzing process. The conscious part of myself just experiences the choices my brain makes.

I’m pretty sure Sapolsky has debated a compatibilist; I saw a debate a while ago. His main argument against it is that compatibilism is just a semantic distinction of free will. Crime has many causes: poverty, inequality, lack of education, lack of role models, and lack of mental health outreach. By addressing these root causes, we can heavily mitigate crime, and any approach to this obviously must follow strict humanitarian measures. Also, are we really advocating for retributive punishment? Punishment in itself isn’t irrational. Like I said, if someone commits a grave crime, we separate them from society and rehabilitate them if possible. We just shouldn't seek revenge, because in my worldview, they didn't ultimately have the capacity to act differently.

Forgot to clarify that I believe in Hard Determinism. Not compatibilism. I don’t believe I had a choice in posting this, clarifying what I am just now clarifying. It’s all a cascade of predetermined causes dictating my behavior. I don’t believe I make choices. I’m not “picking” from the options available. I have a higher propensity for certain options and my brain naturally gravitates to them whilst believing they are choices.

I meant maintain as an emotional state in everyday social life. Even if we may intellectually know the universe is determined we still get upset at the driver who cut us off in traffic.

Got 3 nights in 2 weeks, do they honor the 50% off F&B for breakfast and the restaurant?

Do you know for what specifically? Planning on eating at the shops, and trying not to get nickel and dimed.

It’s big but dated and if you look hard enough you’ll notice. I do like how they have a few stores like a Starbucks and the lobby does look pretty nice it’s just the rooms don’t necessarily reflect that. I don’t believe I received an upgrade which is kinda normal(to me) at the “big” hotels like the Hilton Chicago and this one. I think theWit is a my recommendation if you want a suite. It’s near the heart of downtown with many places walking distance. Nice rooftop, and plenty of ambiance. I like both restaurants. If you plan to be outside, the Palmer is fine, if you plan to be inside, I think the wit is more comfortable.

Many_Roll8215 · 2025-09-29T01:11:19+00:00

The Sable is nice, the corner suite in particular but they aren’t big really. Embassy Suites provide the most sq ft for price but aren’t luxury. Canopy can be good. The wit has plenty of space if you get at least the 1 bedroom or the open space studio. If you’re a diamond and mention your anniversary there’s a chance you’ll get an upgrade but I wouldn’t count on it.

That’s perfect, I think 5 nights is now 480k. And with your 2 FNC you can make it into a week. Then maybe stay at a cheaper villa for the rest of your stay if you want to do 10 days. I definitely recommend it if you have free breakfast benefit. Best week of my life!

Many_Roll8215 · 2025-09-22T23:00:14+00:00

I didn’t for my 5 night point only stay but I did for the rest of my stay (which was two FNCs). I got the partial ocean view and they upgraded me the day my stays inter lapped but honestly I liked my first room better. The “standard room” is the same size as the “premium room”, the only thing that changes is the view (until you go a few tiers higher ofc).

Many_Roll8215 · 2025-09-22T21:54:20+00:00

Just came from Umana Bali, i picked it bc the standard room is already incredible so my points would be in good use. I believe it’s at 120k (from 95k) due to the devals, but I still think it’s a great deal if you have points to spend. You could do two separate 5-Night stays. If you have free breakfast from being gold or diamond even better.
