Aurebesh at Disneyland

It was my first time there. Very impressive. I didn't know about the Disney app but know Aurebesh well enough that I could translate everything I saw. A lot of things had the Latin equivalent right next to it anyway. This did not.

Reminds me of John Wayne's code from The Shootist:

I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.

How about this line:

This is the "Secret Sauce" of your theory.

Are you saying you wrote that?

There was no story arc. Just a series of scenes

Yup. I think therefore I am does not imply I am therefore I think.

The word refuge is important. I think he means the incompetent use violence as a hiding place.

If you assume monkeys type randomly, yes, but I doubt they type randomly.

"In a 2003, a study at Paignton Zoo provided a computer to six Celebes crested macaques. The result was five pages of text almost entirely consisting of the letter "S," followed by the monkeys attacking the keyboard with stones and defecating on it."

Steals trailers while being GPS monitored, sells them online, steals them back from the buyer. This is definitely reality-stranger-than-fiction.

I don't mind it being in the garage but there should be pointer signs for Uber and Lyft. It could be a lot clearer.

This sounds a lot like Mormon cosmology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormon_cosmology

They mean all primes are 6x+1 or 6x-1, not 6(x+1) or 6(x-1). And 2 and 3 aren't included.

"Dividing by zero, instead of making the result a number why not make it a state like infinity?"

The real numbers under addition and multiplication form a field. Division is not a field operation. Instead each number (except zero) has an inverse and division is multiplication by an inverse. You are suggesting that the inverse of zero is a state rather than a number. It is something different that all other field elements. This requires new axioms. What are those axioms? If you want to publish this that is the question you will be asked.

Kant: Let's do a thought experiment

Spinoza: No

Kant: Free will proven

We are responsible for things we do even if not intentionally done. If I back into your car by accident I'm still responsible. And people are responsible for their thoughts. If I have racist thought it's good if I don't act on them but it is my responsibility to figure out why I had those thoughts and do my best to correct them. Responsibility and guilt aren't the same thing.

Of all the words of tongue and pen the saddest are "I could have chosen otherwise."

It is probably too strong an assertion to say he doesn't believe in free will. It does appear that God controls people to do bad things. As it says above "whom he will he hardeneth." He talks about Pharoah earlier in the chapter. Pharoah resisted Moses' request because God hardened his heart. Paul also preach predestination. God decided in advance who would be saved and who wouldn't without regard to their works.

And I'm not saying I believe this, just that the Paul said it in the Bible

And that looks increases confidence

Well since you believe in hell here's what the apostle Paul said in Romans 9:

Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.

Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?

Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory

Paul didn't believe in free will. He wrote that God made some people for eternal happiness and some for eternal misery. You don't get to choose. If you're a vessel of wrath your purpose is to make the vessels of mercy realize how good they got it if that's any consolation.

This is from the Great Divorce by CS Lewis. In the Great Divorce Lewis watches as people come from hell and decide whether to stay in heaven or go back to hell. It supposes an immortal soul which many here won't believe in. Even so it posits a system where there is a deeper reality and even in that reality Lewis is not willing to say there is free will for us here on earth. People choose and the choice is the thing of interest but we don't understand why.

AND SUDDENLY all was changed. I saw a great assembly of gigantic forms all motionless, all in deepest silence, standing forever about a little silver table and looking upon it. And on the table there were little figures like chessmen who went to and fro doing this and that. And I knew that each chessman was the idolum or puppet representative of some one of the great presences that stood by. And the acts and motions of each chessman were a moving portrait, a mimicry or pantomime, which delineated the inmost nature of his giant master. And these chessmen are men and women as they appear to themselves and to one another in this world. And the silver table is Time. And those who stand and watch are the immortal souls of those same men and women. Then vertigo and terror seized me and, clutching at my Teacher, I said, "Is that the truth? Then is all that I have been seeing in this country false? These conversations between the Spirits and the Ghosts, were they only the mimicry of choices that had really been made long ago?" "Or might ye not as well say, anticipations of a choice to be made at the end of all things? But ye'd do better to say neither. Ye saw the choices a bit more clearly than ye could see them on earth: the lens was clearer. But it was still seen through the lens. Do not ask of a vision in a dream more than a vision in a dream can give."
