  1.  @GhostEmblem  You're gonna decide on whether to put out a house fire with water by putting water on houses that aren't burning?

  2.  @tinfoilhomer909  What information do you get by "measuring dopamine levels"? Plenty of people take amphetamines acutely to study or recreationally. There's no reason to think they're toxic at the doses prescribed to people with adhd.

  3. April 22nd my cousin was married to 0 men. April 23rd it was 1. Extrapolating this trend, it becomes clear, that she will be married to over 370 men at around this time next year.

  4.  mysticone1798  The non existence is trivial, because free will is nonsense.

  5. Did she survive?

  6. Do I understand the end of this video correctly in that decoherence + the many world interpretation are a possible solution to the measurement problem?

  7. The problem is that your prayers weren't supplemented by sacrifice. I sacrificed two goats and my children didn't become trans.

  8. Being on speed is also beneficial for people without ADHD. It's a great drug with many applications.

  9.  @segfault-  There's zero evidence for methamphetamine being neurotoxic at ordinary doses. Not to speak of somehow being more neurotoxic than speed.

  10. No. You know that locally there is a bent. Globe earthers really don't know how to think.

  11. Do you mean the minutia?

  12.  @MaximoPower2024  Sure addictions exist, but they're not due to there being too much or little of some neurotransmitter.

  13. Gonna cite the Tai paper in my thesis when I use integration.

  14. Finally I can also not understand the Greenhouse Effect.

  15. You reject the simplest explanation because you don't like it? Why should it teach you something new about the universe?

  16. That just means there's 0 goals, they would change the rules.

  17. "Philosophy" and "science" are not two separate domains. Better understood or empirically graspable parts of philosophy become science

  18. I don't see how that follows. Also a fast processor can simulate multiple parallel processors and when a task is parallelizable multiple processors can simulate a fast one.

  19. Almost no educated person believes in free will. It's just that many redefine it, thus misleading the public.

  20. That doesn't have anything to do with neural networks in particular, that's about statistics in general.

  21.  @njhoepner  Unbelievably based.

  22. "Social media" enables you to interact with "interesting people, your local community and wildlife" better.

  23. Apparently computer engineers can have confused notions of intelligence, too.

  24. I feel 2) is sort of a red herring. You can do all of the things we want out of human level intelligence whether or not you are hungry, in love, horny, etc. You are still able to plan into the future, reason about abstractions, transfer learned things from one context to another and so on regardless of your emotional state.

  25. >including entanglement for shared computation Sources please. >"subconscious" environmental awareness I very much hope that all of your artificial systems are unconscious (or if they are that they are experiencing pleasure rather than pain).

  26. Lol. Do Nauruvians sit around with bags of sugar stuffing their mouth? If not, they're not addicted to sugar. All people have a propensity to seek sweetness in food.

  27.  @Yawgrimas  Having spam should be a reason to eat less, not more...

  28. Precisely.

  29. The universe splits in all interpretations I'm aware of. What's different about Many Worlds is that they don't come together again.

  30. Yeah and it's not just images, it's many sorts of sensory inputs and the ability to explore the environment by directly interacting with it. And their brain structure is the result of hundreds of millions of years of conditioning.

  31. The confusion seems to come from a presentist worldview in which the universe really plays forward. Instead all of time simply exists and "sending" a message forward or backward is the same thing.

  32. Way to miss the point entirely.

  33.  @gregoriopalofuego9808  Einstein is completely wrong. You can't pretend that married bachelors exist.

  34.  @lorenzoblum868  A cock is male avian, not genitalia. Why do people ruin language?!? A mouse is a small mammal, not a computer input device!

  35. No, it's not. Nor is there a "simulation theory". There is a simulation argument and hypothesis. Neither has anything to do with explaining "gaps".

  36. Neural networks don't operate in Turing machines. A Turing machine is a model for computation used to do proofs in theoretical computer science.

  37. The question is nonsense. There's no objective notion of being "close" to absolute zero. You might as well ask why life is extraordinarily hot compared to most of the universe.

  38. Das ist eine völlig unsinnige und konfuse Auffassung von Intelligenz. Du scheinst Intelligenz mit konkreten Zielen zu verwechseln.

  39.  @dextermorgan4490  Because that is nonsense. It's not "observed" and it doesn't change. Instead the particle, the measurement device and you all synchronize, such that all possible you's see corresponding particles.

  40. What do you do with someone, who is horrified that married bachelors don't exist? Clearly their horror can have nothing to do with married bachelors. There is no hypothetical world with married bachelors they can compare their world to. People think that from "free will" derives justification of hatred and pride. Their clinging to hatred and pride is what causes their distress.

  41. The Fine Tuning argument: I have a probability distribution over natural constants and the number of universes... Counter: No, you don't.

  42. Nonsense. You just want to sell your magic.

  43.  @jeffreyharrison3731  I'm not entirely sure what you are talking about, but since neurons have a threshold and either fire or don't, the computations are always non-linear. Even ignoring all temporal aspects.

  44. "Willpower" is a dumb term, but it boils down to the behavior of eating too much. That's what you gotta change somehow. Whether you conceptualize it as a will driving something or differently.

  45. Quantum mechanics is way worse than the mystical. No matter which way you put it, something people considered obviously true has to give.

  46.  @marcowen1506  So when I cut up an apple it makes people fatter than the whole apple?

  47. People use underpants all the time.

  48. Teleology helps you calculate what a leopard is going to do. It won't help you calculate what a simple physical system is going to do.

  49.  @chazwyman8951  Lol what? Pretty much all root vegetables, fruits, etc contain carbohydrates. Fat makes you feel full, but what has that to do with our ancestors having no carbs? And how did they evolve the ability to taste sweetness?

  50. No.
