As to the accuracy? I would say conservatives do tend to lack an overburdening of intelligence, as interpreted as the capacity to learn over time, else they would not be so attached to outdated views that time has moved beyond. But as to porch pirates... Same, although having a Ring camera it's...

Nor are conservatives.

Indeed, I think that the solution here is to expect hormonal and spermatological intervention before transferring someone. I imagine this is only opposed by certain parties because it would lead to a political loss, namely they are no longer "men's" and "women's" estates, and that the real...

I'll note that the dictionary, or wiki, or even linguistics as a field do not really act as constraints on the use of language. Generally, the desire to be understood is the greatest and only constraint on real language excepting when someone seeks to make language political. That's the real...

I don't think there is a failure to understand. I think there is a failure to want to be wrong. There are many consequences to being wrong when it's such a politically motivated position. I'm just disappointed that he sees attacks against a politically held position as political. For me it's...

My thought on the idea of "physical law" is more akin to something like an instruction set on a CPU... It doesn't say much about the contents of the field(s) of its memory/state. We can generally treat "what is" as a momentary and completely arbitrary coincidence, and ask ourselves "if this was...

Which part of "typically" did you not?

Well, I disagree. I think that, at least in terms of my own views on compatibilism, that rolling rocks on the hillside are responsible to some extent for something you could consider a "choice". The rock has momentum and a shape, and these are, ultimately, responsible for how it interacts with...

So on other words, "newspeak" when said by a conservative (rather than someone who actually read the book and understands the concept) is a dog whistle used to complain that English is a living language, and usage of words change... It's a complete DARVO for attempting to use old language to...

Excepting, of course, that the "prediction" is an imagination of what could happen, and will never be capable of constraining what does happen. You could easily take whatever prediction you have, add something to the state before the fact, and something different from the prediction would happen...

Except it wasn't determined in advance. It was determined exactly in the moment the determination happened. The moment those preconditions hit the agent, such that the agent processed them into the actual jazz compositions, is the moment in which the determination happened. It would not happen...

Calvinistic determinism by any other name still smells as religious.

Acting specifically according to one's own will is exactly "having free will" in that moment in which the action accords to one's own will. That's how it's defined under compatibilism. Any more technical definition, within compatibilism, must satisfy that requirement. That is the first and...

But like, that last paragraph looks like a pretty solid block...

Wait, so did she turn away from them and get sick of them, or did she go back to them more? That verse is confused as hell.

Elizabeth may be dead but with your thread-reviving powers perhaps you can do her a solid, and free GB from he progeny's dark reign (just look at his portrait FFS... Then I heard someone did some rather hilarious editing on it?) That said the British royal family has a lot of understated power...

To be fair, I think it would be more appropriate to have sports (at least on the "back end") restricted on lines of how much performance enhancing chemicals the athletes have consumed recently (or ever, depending on the context). This might place trans people in the testosterone-heavy league...

Generally this leads me to believe that the complaints are less about the problematic status quo and more about wanting to have a convenient target for complaints; that it really is more about the moral grandstander pointing their fingers (one obvious finger pointed at the world and three hidden...

I don't think your idea is impossible. It might take some work and a long term plan involving putting some pretty heavy burdens on the people who profiteered from prisons for so long, but it's definitely possible. The reality is that we can and should start by moving sex offenders to a third...

Except it isn't actually counting them, nor really knowing how it's spelled. As I said, look up how LLMs find meaning in things through vector space association. It would also help to know which GPT version this is... Some of them in addition to not really knowing how to spell, also suck at...
