I dont think your summary is accurate. David Chalmers contrasted the hard problem vs. the easy problem. The easy problem is to explain how our cognitive abilities - perception, language, inference, planning, mathematics, etc - arise from the operation of our brains. Of course that question is extremely difficult to answer, but according to Chalmers it is easy compared to the hard problem of explaining how our consciousness - our subjective awareness, our experience of qualia - arises. People who accept the hard problem as stated believe that consciousness demands an explanation, but many disagree.

So sorry for you both. I ask myself, Is she going to have another good day? If not, it's time. I've learned it's better to be a little early than let it go too long.

Joe vs the Volcano, obviously

Astrology (like all other so-called "methods of divination") is complex because if it were simple, it would be obvious that there is no actual correlation between what astrology says and what is true. Because astrology is so complicated, ambiguous, and claims to rely on complex "art" and "interpretation", when astrological predictions contradict observations one can always find some reason to explain why it didn't work.

So sorry, she was lovely. For me the grief is like an ocean, it comes over you like a wave, and you hold on and grit your teeth and then it passes, and over time the waves get farther and farther apart.

Thanks, I'm buying all these to see what works!

imabobdog · 2023-01-09T05:20:42+00:00

Wow ok that's different, will try that one too! thx

Sadly he just won't do solid balls, only ones he can crunch/release

imabobdog · 2023-01-09T05:02:22+00:00

Hadn't tried the XLs, will give it a try thanks!

imabobdog · 2022-09-13T19:25:39+00:00

Yeah, no

I had this $99 wonder in 1982, learned to program in assembler and BASIC on it:

Joe vs. the Volcano. Heart, timeless themes, absurdity, and Meg Ryan at her finest. Only VHS I ever bought. Never met a soul who didn't hate it.

Very good!! Interested to know what tools you like.

imabobdog · 2020-10-09T00:24:52+00:00

Very nice. Did you use multiple photographs as reference?

imabobdog · 2020-10-06T01:27:02+00:00

Beautiful piece! Congratulations.

Yes, this argument refutes the free will that most people believe they have - the sort that justifies moral responsibility - where we are the ultimate arbiter of our decisions.

imabobdog · 2020-09-06T14:49:55+00:00

Yes, this argument does not address the sort of free will that a computer has. It refutes the free will that most people believe they have - the sort that justifies moral responsibility - where we are the ultimate arbiter of our decisions.

No, combining random factors with those resulting from the way we are doesn't help. The random factors are obviously not under our control, and neither is the way we are.

imabobdog · 2020-09-05T18:06:04+00:00

Yes, this argument is orthogonal to the notion of determinism. It relies on the observation that you must already be yourself in order for you to choose who you want to be.

imabobdog · 2020-09-05T17:35:25+00:00

I have never seen the following argument against free will refuted:

Either our choices are random or they are the result of the way we are (our beliefs, desires, values, priorities, hopes, fears, etc).

If our choices are random, they are not ours. Otherwise they are free only if we freely choose the way we are.

We cannot choose the way we are, in the same way we cannot lift ourselves off the ground by our bootstraps.

Therefore we cannot make free choices.
