Because twitter is now full on right wing

This is the problem of original intentionality. There are studies on it, for instance they found that with an mri they can detect when you have come to a decision before your conscious mind realizes you have. Some processes in our brain are outside of our control, because the brain is not just the neocortex but also includes tens of other structures that evolved separately with specific hard-coded purposes, but that doesn’t mean they are not working as a team. I think in any case you are still reaponsible for the decisions you take.

Here’s my take: the answer is emergent phenomena. We live in a very complex system and in complex systems there are interactions that can only be predicted using systems of equal or higher complexity. So even in case everything is predetermined, it would still be unpredictable and therefore your decisions are basically still up to you and the complex interactions in your brain.

Uhm ackshually I think it’s more a metonymy than a metaphor :D

Lol fuck off

People that want to stay free must learn to vote for the most viable candidate, whether they like them or not. Republicans know the left actually value proper behaviour and consistency from their candidates, so the left is vulnerable to this kind of attack. The republicans don’t care what you say about their candidate, they just want to win. But especially they want you to lose.

Is anybody NOT concerned?

Woah thank you so much for taking the time. I really struggle to understand this people. This does make sense.

Wow, i would like you to describe more in detail what these people think, your depiction so far is very clear

I feel like that’s just an excuse to let hitler-like people to what the fuck they want.

He must say: “This debate is officially over” before pulling the trigger.

Logic without empathy is the hallmark of psychopathy

For official business

Economic freedom in this example is pure nonsense. I don’t want the freedom to overpay for something. The price point is also completely unreasonable. There are alternatives that could be implemented, like setting limits. Your example has a clear goal of promoting a certain world view that the existence of slavery is what makes us free. If that’s not a paradox a don’t know what a paradox is.

For team sports you can assign a point value to each player and force the team to deploy a maximum total value, like for armies in WH40K

I would watch THAT

1. Not sure
2. 100% agree

Even after repeated attempts, I’m failing at understanding your point
