  3. Originally posted by Open Your Mind I honestly don't understand your reasoning; in fact, from where I am it looks like you're just saying the world isn't deterministic because "quantum mechanics", without giving me the line of reasoning between your proposition and your conclusion.

    I don't think you quite understood the link, so perhaps the problem is my communication. But it's a fairly straightforward connection band I think my explanation was fairly straightforward too.

    The example you provided doesn't make any sense to me. It doesn't looks like you broke determinism, it just looks like you forgot to include or are unaware of all the variables. Please feel free to attempt to explain this further.

    There is not really a question of not including or being unaware of all the variables; to the best of our knowledge, quantum mechanics are truly random, and there is no "hidden variable" determining the outcome of random events on the quantum scale. There's no easy way to explain it, so you will have to try to grapple with the science yourself, and I would be happy to answer specific questions you have:

    https://faraday.physics.utoronto.ca/GeneralInterest/Harrison/BellsTheorem/BellsTheorem.html

    http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Quantum/bells_inequality.html

    There are some debates about this but for the most part, it is agreed upon that QM is truly random.

    If determinism is an illusion as was claimed earlier, why does the world appear to be deterministic?

    Because there's nothing stopping the creation of many largely deterministic systems within the universe. There is a "separation of scale" between classical and quantum mechanics. Classical mechanics appear to be almost 100% deterministic because there are few systems that translate the randomness of quantum events to the mechanics of events that occur at the classical scale. But they do exist. For example, the radiation emitted from a star can vary and fluctuate based on quantum mechanical principles. It can be truly random. But in a sea of radiation, what does the specific pattern of these emissions really effect? For the most part, not too much; it's just noise, and it beats on the rocks of some desolate planet all the same.

    Side note: Some use this to argue for how consciousness, specially human consciousness, might have a "special" position in the universe because we can translate these quantum events into macroscopic results... such as a scientist taking a measurement of a random quantum event. I don't know about that, but it's an interesting thought.

    you're not in any position to assess whether someone is being misinformed or if they are correct or not. i don't think you've actually developed that capacity.

    U mad

    They even gave me my stolen wine back lol
  9. Originally posted by Discount Whore Seriously though the level of delusion in these justifications is mindblowing. At least for reject who lives in the UK it's just a slap on the wrist if you get caught. Bill Krozby risked several years of incarceration for $1,000. You could easily make 3x in a year that by just picking up a side job refinishing old furniture from flea markets and selling it at premium on Craigslist and the like. Very easy, rewarding work.

    Yeah but that would require learning a skill, doing honest work, and being a positive contributor to society... and we can't be having that now, can we?
  10. Its gifv, not gif. Fuckin plebs.

    elll you see the mind isn't so much a presence as it is of course an abstract illusion producing determined infinite cyclical non-patterns in a deceptive rhythm of unseen pulsating sensory markings designed to enforce what already was.

    We'll see how much of a deceptive rhythm you think it is when I'm... eh, you can fill in the blanks.

    Pick one.

    I bet he gave his boss a $10,000 blowjob though.
  14. Originally posted by Bill Krozby dude you sound like a pussy, I stole over a thousand dollars over 7 months which isnt that much and we all did it together and there was plenty of other things to get fired for at that place.

    One of the managers called me a few days ago to see how I was doing and said that she misses me and will be sending out my tax info soon. I was actually a really good employee.

    >good employee

    >stole 'over a thousand dollars'

    Pick one.

    Believe it or not Bill Krozby, some people make an honest living by simply working hard and not stealing.
  15. Why are you humoring them? So much idiot shit like this the two of them have posted, you can't begin to cover it all. Literal nonsense by people who seem to not have passed a middleschool science class.
  16. Originally posted by Discount Whore It's still middle-school level philosophy. Like deciding that you're atheist after all.

    Yeah but at least it's not blatantly misinformed, wrong, and poorly reasoned like his other posts. That's progress enough for me.
