I find people that think they have real choice over their actions as strange. Free will is an illusion when you understand determinism.

Quantum mechanics theoretically is just another deterministic universe or hidden variables and effecting our deterministic universe to appear random but in reality is deterministic.

No. What I see people describing as ethical is not correct when people have no choice. It's also not meaningless to live with knowing free will is an illusion. Hard to really reply to such a dismissive assertion.

Huh, so all it takes is someone to break into your home when you're gone and swap a cable. Seems like privacy doesn't really exist for people who truly need it. Unless they're not using any technology.

That's a fallacy you're constructing. I have known persons who are into nihilism and they would argue the same that nothing matters with free will. I don't believe the exchange was meaningless because my friend will be readin

That is a made up justification to force a person into living in a broken system when in unbearable pain. While ignoring the person who wishes to end her life and exerting one's will forcibly upon another who is not privileged.

Improvement to mental healthcare would be removing the restrictions of medical assistance in dying and making it similar to a person who is going to die from suicide when they’re being honest about how the illness is forcing it upon them. T

Who cares about the what if game. A system should be in place for persons who are in pain that want to successfully end it. No free will exists until such a system exists.

I think we should just let people be allowed to die by medical assisted death and be it mental or physical pain (whatever illness). I've known persons with gender dysphoria who want to end their life and they're rational people. T

Yah I think it's a good thing. I have a password manager so it's only a few clicks to paste the card number in. I'm guessing the majority of consumers are annoyed by it.
