I don't think it's a good idea, but it is preferable for me as a bystander trying to understand his position on and the details of the case.

He seems rather level-headed to me. I would rather a CEO address this lawsuit candidly personally.

If the fundamental constants are not constant, why not expect them to change in this galaxy as well? The appeal to "other galaxies" seems suspect to me, a way to evade falsifiability.

Source for "he's gone crazy"? Curious about the degree of crazy, since he seemed pretty out there from the start.

Thanks, very clear explanation!

I do not buy this excuse. One party has no hangups about issuing ridiculous EOs. The other should rid itself of its hangups in issuing rational humanitarian EOs, because that results in the best outcome for humanity. Ultimately they did not

Why are you framing this in terms of placating my paranoia? I have no objection to my lack of free will, it does not bother me. It makes me more empathetic to recognize that others lack it as well.

If consciousness (and choices, the output of consciousness) is completely determined by the brain's physical process, then there is no such thing as "libertarian free will" which is what people typically mean when they say &q

If we are not in control of our immediate actions, how can we have any sort of meaningful "free will"?

Debating its existence serves the same purpose regardless of its existence.

> You still have your free will. Highly debatable.

Of course it can, the article is referring to the S&P 500.

Sure, but that isn't meaningful in this case - the vast majority of the new marginal profit goes to share and business-holders regardless.

Increased profits from increased productivity have not resulted in increased income for most workers in recent (~half a century) history.

FWIW my understanding is that only a subset (not sure how they determine which) of the 737 MAX 9s that are grounded.

This does not seem to be all that similar to the point you are trying to make regarding the OP.

Honest, non-rhetorical question: is there an example where Mark Twain told a story that his audience presumed to be true and was invented to garner sympathy?

Is this "replication" using a sample of LK-99 from the original researchers or did they successfully create a new sample?

Yeah, I am mostly wondering if there is a good reason to be in the space early to capitalize on the long-term success of the ecosystem.

I think this is likely the correct theory too but to hand-wave it away as "discredited" and claim that it also downstream "discredits" anyone who refers to the video is rather mealy-mouthed. Which appears to be the same

Reminds me of Taleb's metaphor about academia working backward from real progress as "teaching birds how to fly". Both related to flight, too.

Left-right seems like a false dichotomy to me. e.g. the reason to avoid cable news is not because of some sort of "left" or "right" bias (which is already nebulous), but because of conflict of interest: health care and m
