People manage without the difficulty you claim. Others are not privileged to even have hobbies because of the financial burden while employed. People should be able to choose what'…

The Code of Hammurabi explains it all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_of_Hammurabi Basically, nobody shall harm someone of higher status and not expect a worse punishment than …

That's an incorrect assumption because I can look at myself. I understand free will is an illusion and I don't have to stop doing anything.

That's the typical assumption that has no statistical evidence and is made by someone who thinks the illusion of free will is good for society. I suggest first try thinking about h…

This as well.

Some of HN understands hard determinism and once in awhile I see an interesting post. Otherwise it's just a comment triggered from reading the article. I enjoy it.

Oh, I thought the article was about psychology and where what we have studied illustrates determinism and where nothing has ever shown free will. I mean even what comes out of neur…

You never have "real" control over your own actions because free will is an illusion. Thus, my emotional state tends to rarely get angry compared to when I thought free will was a …

You literally don't, unless you had control of the "starting point" being your birth. One cannot make an action of their own without the influence of the external forces upon onese…

Understanding the deepest sense of reality is best for navigating what's thrown at oneself. Even if one has no control over what happens in life, such as one's thoughts, or actions…

Better to just read philosophy & psychology from respected sources of academia than an ideology that ruined many lives unjustly. One major negative of religious influence is creati…

I think the conflict is the idea of the majority claiming what "normal" is for everyone and the real problem being society is structured for this normal; not designed for the non-s…

I have no objection to surveillance if people are open about it and the information is accessible if reasonably needed. I honestly would rather live in a world that had cameras eve…

I'm skeptical of the image against terrorists being just a facade. I theorize the massive data collection is for studying psychological patterns in society.

Is the United States really a democracy? I'm shocked to see how awful the people are living there "if it's truly the case of it being a democracy" and how things are as an outcome.…

It will be nice when the religious old generation with their ideology die off. The repressive outcomes restricting a better timeline from proceeding earlier is so sad to witness. S…

Michigan is awful for a LGBT person and the state isn't approaching modern lifestyle for the young since I've last been there; it's more of just a catering state for the age-group …

I guess this risk could be mitigated if the browser had recognition code running in the background for if the top of the screen was mimicking the search bar. I'm not fond of the id…

In the US, the typical consensus for law enforcement & government entities, is basically use whatever's available that's beneficial and when nothing has been written into law about…

I don't know if I completely believe the more room for your memory part. That's my excuse for not memorizing things that take a few minutes to look up. I don't necessarily believe …

I always star the main packages I use on GitHub but I realize I'm missing out on the required packages being used as well. It would be nice if an alternative sprung up that was p2p…

Wow, hats off to you and that would have been so terrifying for me if I was there. I doubt I'd would've been able to even tell anyone such as your girlfriend to go below deck. Such…

I'm impressed by the presentation and the project as a whole looks very well put together. I don't even game anymore but when I was a kid this would've been very appealing to get i…

The longer I live I'm more inclined to view countries very similar to prisons. I wonder if some day people will be free of the being born into one social/psychological experiment c…
