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's best for them. Otherwise life is torture.
Basically, nobody shall harm someone of higher status and not expect a worse punishment than doing the act to someone of lower status. The law hasn't changed much.
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 how people would observe all daily things while understanding free will is an illusion. Also think of the lives that are ruined because of bias to someone who happens to be a minority such as LGBT. Empathy for a minority is created when understanding there is really no choice and how they're born into a reality where they're labeled as not the norm.
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 neuroscience shows how the brain reacts before we're even aware. Free will is an impossibility, how can oneself make choice or decisions that are unaffected by the external forces exerted upon oneself. One's birth being the "starting point" into reality is all that decides everything until the end.
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 possibility. Since understanding there isn't any control over anything makes me realize what can a person reasonably blame others or themselves if nobody has any choice over how they came to be or act. I don't necessarily gain control but I'm more functioning in society than before. That's typically the goal for everyone because than we have a better living experience.
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 oneself. This isn't a bad thing, it's just reality and even studying this brings awareness to how God cannot even have own will. Once again that's not a bad thing.
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 because its all decided by a linear progression of external forces upon oneself and one's genetics. Ultimately it comes down to the individual desiring to be the best person they can be with using their awareness to their advantage. I can definitely handle problems & emotions better when understanding how nobody has a choice in how they are as a person. Specifically if I'm wronged by someone. That's just a small portion of what philosophy and psychology can be used for in living life.
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 creating an assumption of free will existing and thus clouding the judgment of the person which can result in depression. The person becomes less aware to how everything effecting them is external forces they have no control over. Then blaming themselves instead of accepting reality.
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-standard persons. The persons who think they should prize their difference are either deluding themselves of the negatives experienced or are seldomly at an advantage than the majority classified with the same illness. Maybe it's also needed to just get through a miserable day.
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 everywhere, including the rooms of my apartment and making victims actually have an opportunity to receive justice instead of the reality we live in today. Of course what I'm writing will be attacked because such a system is hard to design but it's not impossible and if it was made it could make it so the abused no longer be abused. Anyway I'm now in Canada because United States is only where the financially privileged get justice & healthcare.
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. I guess people don't care about if someone else dies from a less privileged life when it comes to health or finances. Otherwise people would vote for change right?
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. Speaking as an LGBT person who has witnessed suicide among peers and when this treatment likely could help the tolls of abuse in correlation to antiquated beliefs. Thanks to the dying god.
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 approaching retiring or already retired. The outdoor activities "the only thing it has going for the state" become tiring and when any decent city in a non-brain drain state has YMCAs that are built to facilitate fun social/active activities. The winters are awful as well.
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 idea that we put restrictions of fullscreen mode where it requires user approval when scrolling down or something of that sort.
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 it. So I doubt warrant covers much about digital data and that can be accessed from third parties or intercepted when traveling over the air with special devices.
