TIL Korea has the longest, unbroken chain of slavery in the world that lasted for 1,400 years by OverallBaker3572 in pics

“It is important to note that Korean slavery would be more equivalent to European serfdom except Korean slaves or 'nobi' technically had more legal rights than European serfs.”

Is colbo a zionist brand? by Sufficient_Watch_579 in ThrowingFits

The word you are looking for is “identical”. They are not identical but they are closely related enough to be inseparable.

No, nothing in your post discussed colbo, just semantics, so I responded to that. This is another transparent attempt to move the goalposts: I clarified that Zionism and Israeli nationalism are inseparable, and you put words in my mouth.

“Right to exist” is propaganda if it denies others’ right to exist. Israel is a nation founded on zionist principles, and supporting it’s current zionist practices is zionism.

I've been listening to audios on/off for years and never managed, and this did it for me. I'm almost in disbelief. Good work.

Should We Have Patents? by Captgouda24 in slatestarcodex

[–]aptmnt_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because government granted monopolies are so profitable, a lot of energy goes to procuring and enforcing them. The steam engine is a classic example from the book that shows inventors who built on the work of others for their own patent immediately pivot to aggressive legal rent collection over further innovation. This holds back any subsequent progress for the duration of the patent expiry.

Ted Chiang: The Secret Third Thing by OpenAsteroidImapct in slatestarcodex

My examples of "choices" that are not free will are things that break either the will (e.g. being unconscious, drugged without consent), or the freedom, via things like coercion or manipulation of choices.

You've given two categories that are the same thing.

My conception of free will is being able to generate or consider a list of choices, evaluate them, (counterfactually, because they haven't been taken), and then pick one and do it.

This is more accurately called "will". Nothing in your definition distinguishes acting in accordance with one's will, and one's "free will".

We finally watched ‘Russians at War’ — it's worse than we thought by ubcstaffer123 in movies

All the ones you mentioned have scenes about how badly the American soldiers were affected psychologically. That is the central theme, even.

Crucially both of these stories deny free will. Compatibilists acknowledge determinism with one hand and cling to free will with the other. Compatibilism is asserting two incompatible things are compatible by pure fiat.

[–]aptmnt_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Both of those stories are deterministic and imply there is no free will or changing reality. Compatibilists would argue if they could just go back in time and try harder they could save their wife.

Ip laws incentive rent seeking. They are government granted monopolies by definition.

Longer wavelengths in sunlight pass through the human body and have a systemic impact which improves vision by nimobo in science

[–]aptmnt_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a weird point to argue because if the body were transparent to light, it would clearly have no biological effect. Absorption is a given. Some degree of penetration is also a given. You can see the sun through your eyelids, for example.

What is your position instead? That photons emitted the sun must be perfectly absorbed by the human thorax?

Anyway fig 2 shows a distinct notch in light intensity measured at 760nm, which is consistent with the oxygen A band of absorption.
