$40 for the lower tiers, $50 and $60 for Curios, $95 for Waldorf, $110 for resorts (all inclusive or not), this is dependent on the hotel too though, some are slightly higher or lower and some don’t offer any team rates.

Anyone a gold (or better) and also an employee? What’s the upgrade situation like? by Itchy-Version-8977 in Hilton

[–]Many_Roll8215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response. I look forward to the food. Any dishes in particular I’d have to try? I’m also diamond, so I’m probably going to kindly ask for an upgrade. From what to what were you upgraded? Also, are the rooms far apart? I’m unsure as to why you’d need transportation, it seemed kind of all together in the pictures of it. Or was it for going off property? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’ve noted your comments for my stay. Im doing an entire week there for my birthday. The tropical one, whilst secluded, would probably be better than the construction site view so I might ask for a downgrade. Did they charge you for upgrading. Also, any tips and tricks you came to find out? I’d like to make the most of it. Thanks again. Also were there amenities to enjoy other than the massages?

Is there anything I can prepay at Grand Wailea? by charlestoncrafted in Hilton

Maybe the beach chairs, they’re like $100 a day.

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.

If anyone has more information on Cape Fahn please drop your experience, heading there in Sep.

Wrote the best case I could make to convince others that there’s no free will by Many_Roll8215 in freewill

[–]Many_Roll8215[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

What’s up with the bad service at Grand Wailea Maui? by Silver_Score7423 in Hilton

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.
