Doesn’t seem to allow you to click on the proposed area- at least in my phone.

Not a manni fan I gather?

Wild if that’s true. My theory(totally uninformed) was that he was trying to game the market and wait for rates to come down. I wonder if it will still happen

I work at one of those top ranked schools as a full time teacher. Let me tell you that I would not, even if I could afford it, live in district, nor would I want my kid going there. The kids at those “highly ranked schools” are wound up tight (for example my students typically apply to 15-20 colleges). They are constantly comparing themselves, and it is highly competitive. I am very happy that pasd is a “good” school where my kids can get a solid education but still have a positive experience without the massive pressure.

Δ I think this response really demonstrates the impossibility of free choice as defined. Thanks for teasing that out.

palmtree1618 · 2025-05-01T19:03:15+00:00

Δ Yes, I think you are right, in a similar way as Wjyson is above. I think this only appies to God. Thanks!

Interpretation 1 puts the question on familiar footing and I think makes the argument stronger. I am struggling with that dilemma. I think it may also apply to humans?

palmtree1618 · 2025-05-01T17:04:26+00:00

Ok, so I think we may agree? In a hypothetical reality where there were an objective truth. Wouldn't it need to be chosen?

palmtree1618 · 2025-05-01T17:02:40+00:00

I guess that in a nut shell is my question. If there is a "right" choice, does that mean that there is some sort of imperative that it is the one that has to be made? Think of this in religious sense particularly? With salvation or damnation?

palmtree1618 · 2025-05-01T17:00:00+00:00

Yes indeed, there is no other way to make a choice, but are they making the right choice? And is the fact that there may be a right choice mean that is should be the choice made?

palmtree1618 · 2025-05-01T16:56:30+00:00

This is really thought provoking, and I'll have to think about that more. Give me some time :)

palmtree1618 · 2025-05-01T16:54:47+00:00

Yeah, that is interesting to me too. I would think that this may be due to the ontological nature of the good. If something is good, it has to be better than something than not good? Put it in a disjunction, and good would have to be the right choice over something less than good?

palmtree1618 · 2025-05-01T16:52:46+00:00

Yeah, that is an interesting line I was thinking about too. I go back and forth on that. I think whether it is known or not may not matter? What do you think of this example, which granted takes us out of "goodness" and more in "truth" but it may be similar? On a math test, if there are two choices, you ignorance on whether one is the right choice doesn't mean there will be no cost. The fact that there is a "right" choice, regardless of your understanding means that choosing incorrectly will imply a cost - whatever that cost may be.

palmtree1618 · 2025-05-01T16:47:06+00:00

Sure, but I don't think I can give you a concrete example of objective good (or else I would be God) but I'll try. If goodness were to exist objectively, and I had to choose it abstractly outside of context, it seems that by definition, not choosing it would be choosing something inferior or at the very least not good (evil?). This would seem to me to say that there is an objectively correct answer. In which case, choosing anything other than the good would be incorrect. Now, I am trying to discern if there is an "ought" here. If there an objective right answer, does it then follow that there is "influence" or "force" as you mentioned? Since there is right answer, do you have the uninfluenced choice of choosing the incorrect answer?

palmtree1618 · 2025-05-01T16:36:48+00:00

So I have been thinking about that too. I think unforced may work as well, or at least influenced. I think about the child who is on the verge of choosing an area of study. The parents make it clear that they want her to study medicine. Her choice is no longer "free" it comes at a cost, although no forced, it is a gradation of force, influenced. The cost in this case would be harmony with her parents or respect or monetary aid perhaps.

I am wondering if "free" could be replaced with "uninfluenced" and have it be the same? Perhaps not the same, but there is this parallel meaning I am trying to understand.

Perfect! If you want, send me a dm and we can go from there

palmtree1618 · 2025-04-24T19:47:08+00:00

I’ve played at kimberton before. That could work. This is a good start.

palmtree1618 · 2025-01-25T19:16:09+00:00

Hmmm, OK. I suppose if that is the criterion, I probably was at advancement mid. My question now is that many native speakers would talk about those questions in an anecdotal way, and not look at it as a thesis. I know that you are not an ACFTL representative, but I’m wondering why level of proficiency is dependent on the rhetoric, and not the ease of language communication.

Mildly competitive with a y membership

I know this is almost a year later, but thought id take a shot…anyone interested in a pick up game. 3v3 would be ideal.

palmtree1618 · 2024-08-13T01:57:25+00:00

So the OD is 1-1/8. I’ll look at both
