Re: Music

Check this spinning guitar out. The neck is cylindrical and each side has a different string set. You spin it to change strings. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxCSW3lvCB3jFEoVqit6EjSWGXwFOkfh5p Nice one but check this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6rBK0BqL2w&list=RDMMo6rBK0BqL2w&start_...

Re: More Determinism = More Free-Will???

But he did include the notion of involuntary movement which suggests control is only an artificial human construct. I'm also sure that most philosophers on this forum understand the concept of what is a nervous system and how it works. Yes, indeed he did. But when he said "involuntary" he...

Re: More Determinism = More Free-Will???

Then we'd have to do whatever option most desired out of the many options. So are we ever free from the desire? Is desire constraining to ultimate freedom, or is there no such thing as ultimate freedom for a finite being? We have desire but we are free to go against it. Desire to empty the bladder,...

Re: More Determinism = More Free-Will???

We are free when there are options. If there is only one option then you have to do what you have to do. Then we'd have to do whatever option most desired out of the many options. So are we ever free from the desire? Is desire constraining to ultimate freedom, or is there no such thing as ultimate ...

Re: Newcomb's Paradox - the modern version of the determinism vs non-determinism

The scenario: A superintelligent being (Omega) presents you with two boxes. * Box A is transparent and contains $1,000. Box * Box B is opaque and contains either $1,000,000 or nothing. The twist: If Omega had already predicted you'll take only Box B, they will put $1,000,000 in it. If Omega had alr...

Re: More Determinism = More Free-Will???

You don't know that--and you can't prove it if you did know it. Freedom is in spite of determinism, not because of it . To be Free, is to be Un-determined. Wizard22, the claim that "to be free is to be un-determined" raises an important question: what does it actually mean for something t...

Re: The dynamical physical laws solve the problem of redshift

not just the expansion, specifically *accelerating expansion*. Redshift is there even if expansion isn't accelerating. Redshift really is only very loosely indirectly relaed to dark energy. Redshift is explained by expansion. Dark energy supposedly explains accelerated expansion. But dark energy do...

How do you explain the redshift then?

The expansion of what?
