Supposing determinism is true, is there any interesting definition of free will?

(via squareallworthy)

The total vulnerability of the judicial system to all manner of pseudoscientific bullshit is one of those facts about the world that’s so unsettling in its implications that I can practically physically feel my brain resisting the effort to incorporate it into my worldview. You just need to overcome a bit of Gell-Mann amnesia…

It would have been one thing if they had the administrator at the end being like "Oh Ms. Pauling, I've been a fool! I regret everything! Don't lose your life to hatred! Don't be like me! Spite isn't the answer!" but instead she looked back over her 100+ year life dedicated to torturing this one man and went "hell yeah. nailed it." and then died so hard she turned into dust. absolutely iconic. next level hating. no one does it like her.

"What's your point?" "My point is you should call your son." "What if he won't talk to me?" "At least you'll know. Then you could stop worrying about it. You won't have to be afraid anymore. I don't care how mad I was, I'd talk to my dad. Especially around the holidays." "I don't know." "Just give it a shot. For your granddaughter anyway. I'm sure she misses you. And the presents."

We are all familiar with the christmas song: “you better not shout……you better not cry” and so on. But what interest me is this line: “be good for goodness sake.” now we all know that this is , of course, bullshit. The children are good ..not for the sake of goodness itself…but for the sake…of the presents.

population data is from https://citypopulation.de/, or directly from censuses. In cases where the last census is many years ago, i adjust the population of each subdivision by UN estimates for the growth rate of the national population, assuming that that growth happens uniformly. i aimed for an accuracy of ±10%.

There is a group of people I play multiplayer mtg with, but as a competent deckbuilder who is not dating any of them I am cast into this role I have dubbed "The vizier". Meaning, I am, by this definition, the clear villain, but must advise players and alert them to the schemes my keen eyes spot across tables to survive.

"You must listen to me closely. I hold not threat to you. I am mearly trying to survive... I may be gaining counters, but he is one card away from completing his combo. You must fear the squirrels my lord, do not be deceived. They plot for your demise"

"Do not listen to his pleas of innocence. He carries with him the means for colorless mana. The stench of the eldrazi. You must end him before he becomes a threat not just for you, but the whole kingdom"

"think carefully with your target of banishment my lord. When have I harmed you? What is a single lifepoint between friends? But there across the board lies a much greater target! I ask you, what use would a man such as him have for double strike?
