I wouldn't say that the universe is clockwork; quantum mechanics throws a wrench in that. However, unlike Penrose, I do not believe that quantum mechanics plays a crucial role in the human mind. I believe that the human mind could

What I satisfy myself is: "People are responsible for their own actions" . That relies on some emotionally intuitive notion of "responsible" which I cannot bootstrap from what I know of the universe. That is why "

1) One of the arguments in favour of using that term is that it offends ISIS. It's not a strawman if people actually are making that argument. I am arguing against that particular argument. 2) Daesh is not already used in Engli

Every argument in favor of the new term, that I have heard at least, is language agnostic. They apply in English just as well as they apply in French. I think it is therefore fair for me to offer my opinion on its use by English speaking

I'm sure they'd hate to be called "The Coalition of Sissy Bomb-bait Cowards" , but that doesn't mean we should call them that. The public is already aware of who "ISIS" is, and what they do. I see no rea
