“Free Willy - Call of freedom for the #free #will”
In this essay, I deal firstly with “the #philosophical #problem of #freedom of will”, then with the #empirical attacks on freedom of will” and finally with the ‘latest #results of #cognitive #neuroscience’ of #self-control.

Can anyone recommend any #philosophical texts on #translation in relation to #ethics? Thinking along the lines of Barbara Cassin, Souleymane Bachir Diagne, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o…
#Epicurus, the precursor to #Lucretius in the #materialist #philosophical tradition, believed that we need knowledge only because without it we are unhappy. I find it wonderful that following one's curiosity to bring oneself #joy is fundamental to the roots of the Western philosophical tradition that led to #science.
In the wake of the current #leftist #libertarian #wokeist #hypothesis, the rise of the far #right #antithesis is inevitable.
It is to be seen if #intelligent #rational #minds will succeed in creating an #evolutionary #synthesis.
Dialectical idealism is a #philosophical systems of thought developed by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich #Hegel.
" #Existentialism is a family of #philosophical views and inquiry that study #existence from the individual's #perspective and explore the struggle to lead #authentic lives despite the apparent #absurdity or #incomprehensibility of the #universe "
I know #wikipedia isn't the best sources, but there it is. This is what I'm currently going through. How the hell do I navigate the world in this state?
Our power to affect the world greatly exceeds our ability to understand and anticipate the effects of what we do. #SoCalFires #ClimateChange #philosophical #GoodPoints https://buff.ly/3PHBUtg
[2/3] It's not showing how remote viewing can explain #UFOs. It's not showing remote viewing at all, so far.
Post #Newton, #science & #philosophical thought require #math & other #technologies that extend our #human senses & capabilities — #radioastronomy for example. These methods reach beyond our #biases, #intuitions & other limitations.
The show asks us to be #skeptical of official agendas, but then clouds its own #agenda. It knows a few things, but does it reveal hard #truths about #UFOs?

To rank loosely the human pursuits from the most #abstract to the least (equivalently, from the most #philosophical to the least), the following could be one possible enumeration:
• philosophy; mathematics; quantum physics; computability theory
• poetry; fine arts; performing arts; haute cuisine
• many STEM fields; airline pilots solving an in-flight emergency
• industrial software practices; carpentry; landscaping; farming
• repetitive tasks; airline pilots monitoring autopilot
• watching 10-minute YouTube videos; slaying dragons on social media

“As #AI developers & others start 2 think more deeply about how #computers & people intersect, Wolfram says it is becoming much more of a #philosophical exercise, involving thinking in the pure sense about the implications this kind of #technology may have on humanity” techcrunch.com/2024/08/25/s...

#TodayILearned about "Chesterton's Fence" & thought "That's a great term to advocate for fact/context based policy decisions & argue against reactionary politics"
Then, after reading into it further (including #GKChesteron's original quote) I found it's mostly used by #Conservatives to justify inaction & the #statusquo.
Net zero insights. My brain is just spinning its wheels.
