TMT exists because of the delusion people have from thinking free will is a real thing. Once the illusion of having free will breaks, understanding of how death will come and just how every event happens in your life happens by fate. Althou

That's not what I wrote. People who understand free will is an illusion become pacifists.

When did programming become seen as easier than becoming a doctor or lawyer? I would say that isn't the case unless just creating basic websites.

It would be interesting to know if suffering has increased or decreased over the years and while the extra measures are being put in place. I agree with your opinion btw. I'm just skeptical if for all we know there is now more sufferin

Free will is an illusion but you can continue to postulate otherwise. You can feel like you’re responsible while not really being true in both situations.

I've been rewriting one of my hobby projects. I'm going from vanilla javascript to react as a newbie in react. The project isn't even close to being finished when I started the task of rewriting a month ago and the main thing

You did the right thing. Family is sometimes not even as good as friendship and we're conditioned all the time to think otherwise.

Cosmetic surgery isn't necessarily a bad thing because you associate it with the word vanity. I hope you realize that appearance can be just as important psychologically in a life as a person that's needing surgery for other reaso

I achieved what I can only describe as pure euphoria while going without sleep for extended months in my 20s. I've actually been thinking about doing it again recently. It really should only be done if you don't need to drive and

Nietzsche never truly had a war with Christianity. He was an optimist often mistaken as an nihilist. I’m skeptical why he never went into how free will is an illusion and otherwise his writing illustrates he thought people could make themse

The other side can view it similar to past bigotry in history. It's unfortunate when people in society don't blend in for the correct pronouns to be used automatically and even more distasteful when other people dismiss the effort

I think your accepting outlook of the situation will be the popular approach for the new generation from what I've observed. The "other reasons" have been pushed because of non-transgender people rejecting transgender people.

That study is worthless based on the small sample size. I'm also a trans woman and I hate when this study is brought up. I think brain development could be a reason but I also think how a person is raised could play into being transgen

I wouldn't be surprised if the planet is beyond saving and even if the majority of people started consuming a vegetarian diet. The real culprit is the nonexistent checks & balances for using excessive resources in industries. Laws

I think making friends is similar to wealth. Easier to make friends once you already have friends than if you have nobody. I think men specifically suffer from this dynamic because they're more closed in communication than women.

I think death isn't bad when you think about infinity. The universe can repeat the same occurrences needed for what made our life and where the exact same conditions happen again for having the actions & thoughts we already lived.

IDK, keep doing your thing if you find everything working out for you. I thought of suggesting what I did because maybe you have curiosity in what your dreams are but then again curiosity killed the cat.

I wish there was a requirement of building 'x' homes before you can build 'y' and rinse & repeat. Need incentives or people just build the best contract deal.

I know some suicidal people that are thinking it will be fun to go for ending their life. I doubt most people think about how many vulnerable people are going to use this event as their exit. Nevertheless they might just all back out.

I'm not sure if I follow your example. Are you implying after one occurrence a person thinking "in a deterministic way" is going to take the outcome and think it will reoccur again? I don't think that is deterministic th
