Not necessarily, as in the case of a guy who has 800.000 dollars being inequal to another guy with 100.000.000 dollars. edit: I mean, the cause of poverty is not that some people are rich, because if world trends of poverty are decreasing w

What are the trends of relative deprivation? I know it's not a defined and studied concept, but if the relative deprivation is in a decreasing trend, I believe that it would mean we are in a good direction. Anyway, if the problem is re

I don't get why lately the trend it to focus in inequality instead of focusing in poverty. I mean, if the % of poverty decreases, then economy is moving in a good direction, in spite of inequality, right? Suppose you had one million, a

If you wish to share it, I'd find it interesting to know how it went. About the fear and thoughts of not doing it right, they are more stuff to watch and do nothing about. I forgot to mention in the instructions only one thing: do it i

I guess the "head voices" mentioned in this context are simply thoughts, judgements, and different ideas that pop as if "automatically" into people's minds. I'm somehow similar to how you describe yourself but

Interestingly you can also practice ignoring the deciding process.

I guess that what "hearing voices" was pointing at in this case were thoughts and thinking.

Thanks for the summary. any kind of freedom at all, emerges from the layers upon layers upon layers that make up the existence of what we call a living creature. I don't see why layers upon layers would imply freedom. A complex Java

Thanks, I like to see the other side when I believe something. I once read Dennett's critiques and I remember I didn't find them very convincing. But right now I don't remember his arguments. I won't analyze them right n

Good point. It may be another case of "consciousness of nothing", as during sleep or maybe before birth.

If you have a clear and convincing argument about the point that you find believable, you'll be able to communicate it.

You are thinking about consciousness as it's contents. Drugs or brain damage change its contents, but don't change the presence of consciousness. Therefore that only proves that the contents are physical. If you consider sleeping

Intentions are deterministic and your discomfort about the topic is deterministic too. Are you aware of the cause of that discomfort? This reminds me of Sam Harris' book "Freewill", I recommend it to the people who believe in

Yes, I'll check it. There are no notifications here but I find the topic interesting and can easily look at the comments.

If we see or imagine a 3D model of a tree there must be something that happens in the brain to transform the "binary" (the electrical impulses sent through the nerves) into the 3D model. When we scan brains there are no 3D models

I may have a bmp file of a tree with bytes encoding the different colors of each pixel of the image, and then run some machine learning algorithm to process the image and generate a file that defines regions of the bmp and labels each regio

What is it, that a robot is missing... When we see, the eye picks signals, when we touch something some cells pick the signals that inform about pressure or temperature. These signals are sent to the brain. They may be coded in binary for

Maybe the people who talks about qualia means that the subject has some characteristic which is not objective or measurable. When we talk about subject as opposed object, what do we mean? Would you say that the concept of 'subjectivity

Interesting. Would you recommend some brand of security cameras that work well for this kind of projects. Where I live the more popular brands are Dahua and Hikvision. Maybe I have to look for a certain communication protocol, rather than f

Labor can only be paid at the present value of any foreseeable output. Without the investment of a capitalist there's no foreseeable output. Where there is equality of value there is no incentive to exchange. "Also goods such as t

Wait. The problem is not that some people is rich. If we agree that poverty is the problem, we can see that capitalism decreased the percentage of poverty in the populations where it was active. It seems you are saying that "the rich a

Does what you say also apply to EF Core? I don't know the previous EF version, but EF Core seemed simple to me. Particularly after comparing it with what I knew about Hibernate.

Look at Argentina: there is a very high inflation, and also there are very high taxes. I mean that what you mention does not look obvious to me, as you can reach a point where even very high taxes cannot counter inflation.
