how is that cuck

I accept that IQ and most traits are under genetic control (explaining nigger societies, etc etc) but I don't believe in strict full blown determinism in that every action we make is merely the result of strict causality
>>
>>76010300
You have the free will to ride a tie-dyed skateboard to the nearest nail salon and ask for a Hulk Hogan schnitzelsandwich. Therefore, you must have some type of free will regardless of any philosophical or scientific circle-jerking about the nature of causality.

Determinism might be (mostly?) true scientifically, but it's a poisonous ideology. It's for people who don't want to take responsibility for their actions.
>>
>>76010522

That's fatalism, which is different.

>>76010608
No, it shows how little you know about the subject. Everything we do can be traced to prior causes which took place before our inception.

Except the real evidence increasingly shows that your diet, social & economic environment, and even things like temperature have a massive, massive effect on the way your genes are expressed. It's a little subject called epigenetics

Not true. You could surgically remove the parts of the brain that lead you to pursue pleasure and avoid pain.

Taking responsibility for ones actions may be useful for societal reasons, but from a scientific and philosophical vantage it is patently wrong.

Realizing the mechanics behind something doesn't automatically invalidate that "something", especially if you're still stuck in the same plain of existence

>>76011731
Mainly from what we know about quantum mechanics. There are some qualities that particles exhibit that either cannot be measured precisely or that we simply cannot know. To imply that all things within the universe abide by a cause-effect relationship with each other is a very large leap of faith.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causal_loop

I don't understand why people think determinism is incompatible with free will anyway.

If we lived in a universe where a banana could peel itself without expending any energy, would that universe be one with greater free will? Why do you think that?
>>
>>76009927
Compatibilism is the only rational belief. You have to understand that things are already determined by higher dimensions, not a god.
>>
>>76012993
Some would argue that a deterministic universe is a requirement for free will to exist: There wouldn't be any meaning behind our actions if we couldn't guarantee the outcome of those actions.
>>
>>76013128
>not a god
And you came to that "understanding" because...?
>>
>>76013313
Agreed. That's the point I was trying to make. In a non-deterministic universe, our 'decisions' would be based on sheer randomness. If a human living in a hypothetical non-deterministic universe suddenly made the decision to lower his landing gear and prepare for rapid photosynthesis, is he more free or less free than us?
>>
>>76011919
What does that have to do with anything? you dont control it, its another variable.
>>
>>76012691

So there is also something like "indeterminism". Which allows some things to act randomly, but without much effect for a whole determined universe.

That is why everything actualy works in this universe and we can call it "an order". When I throw the ball at you, in normal circumstances it will hit you. Just that simple. Maybe simple particles can act randomly, but it does not have much effect for an universe. All big things are acting linear, detemined by every previous effect that had impact on them.
>>
>>76009927
it's not 'genetic' determinism but universal. Everything goes moves according to laws of nature that humans understand as equations and 'general rules'. When you see a waterfall, if you had all of the variables you could calculate the precise location that each water molecule passing over would fall up until all of the water on Earth boils away. The only issue is that humans cannot, and will never be able to know all of the variables. Similarly if you stood above humanity you could parse all of human history if you had the unknown variables, everything from evolution to migration flows out of material circumstances shaped by the physical processes we understand through the laws of nature.

It's kind of a no shit idea to say that determinism is true, but since humans are human we will never even approach understanding of the God function so there is no reason to live any differently than if we believe free will to be true. Free will is an abstraction we use for consequential purposes, it helps us understand the world from our know-nothing perspective better.
>>
>>76015215
Exactly how biblical prophecy operates aswell.. major events.. but minor events less so.

Like.. major event.. sun is going to do something, you might not be able to control.. this is a major event. Just an example not necessarily a real example but just a conceptual one.

Can't have a 1 dimensional line without a 2 dimensional plane, can't have a 2 dimensional line without a 3 dimensional plane. You can't have a 4th dimension (time/duration) without a higher dimension to contain those frames.

Determinism is shit for weak people who complain on r9k all day. Free will is a fundamental of what it means to be human, the way God made us

>>76015609
(cont) also there's the determinator part of this, that some have the power to change this, those who direct the major events.. or can alter them.. might be called gods.. or god level interactions in what we think of that to be..

If you analyze yourself you will realize we are biological robots.. very advanced, not the tinker toys we create.. it's very possible that we have build in things that relay every expression and every thought to some kind of storage..

We are the most advanced robots that exist.. the biblical god is clearly considering us his children.. that they made us or had a role in making us.. But we are not tinker toys.. the level of intelligence to create something like us.. well just consider micro bacteria being more advanced than our most sophisticated robitic technology.. if they wanted to kill us.. we would barely even recognize it before it was over.. Clearly they have other motivations..
>>
>>76015461
Not exacly.

But yet, IMO indeterminism is some kind of easy shortcut. Chaos theory sais that EVERY event has an impact for every other thing in the universe. Which would mean, that tiny little quantum bastards are messing all the order, and make everything pretty random. Well, still we don't have free will, but our future is just not detemined.
But I think there must be some other force and law which moves that quantum particles in determined fashion, and we are lacking with evidence for their determined movement. Now we see their randomness. I hope someday we will find the answer for that dilemma, and all things will be clear from then.

If he wants to, but it's very clear that man is left to their own devices and it's all settled in the judgement.. go see matthew 13.. that way those who do bad can start to do good etc. instead of immediate judgement which would destroy most of them unjustly because it would destroy those who do bad and change for good aswell were it it to come right away..

You are a sequential biological robot.. with sentience.. you live in time in a sequence of events determined by actions.. conceptually god sees your entire line instantly and when you change something he see's it also instantly your future changed.. when you yourself only see your past and the next choice ahead of you.

you're exaggerating here. The impact is actually so small it's still difficult to prove where they come in effect.

True op. People who "refuse to act on their impulses" are only doing so because something in the environment or their own biology caused it.

If something happens outside of causality it doesn't exist.

He simply is..

(the universe). maintainers/shepherds etc.

If you didn't have something that is permanent you wouldn't even exist.. do all the mental gymnastics you require.. and take chicken and egg as far as you want you will always come to the same conflusion.. The only thing that resolves it is something permanent that precides over something that is impermanent.. and the universe is impermanent.. so it cannot be the eternal, even if it remodels itself and rebirths itself in new solar systems.. because doing so it would lose its basic mechanisms..

(cont) the only alternative to this is that the entire universe is an advanced simulation, but then again you've just simply extended chicken and egg yet again.. the only resolution for you even existing is that there's something undefined that is permament.. and aware. and able to form a structure that facilitates us..

theism is inevitable the only question is really who is right and who isn't.

Since inductive reasoning exists, I can only accept that the arguments drawn from it hold water so far as its premises do too within the context. It is a part of our reality and I find that fortunate because it gives clues to the nature of the larger system in which our reality is some subset.

(the grand ressurection) these beings have left us to our own devices to decide for ourselves and only support those who have faith and the understanding of them, this is why so much injustice is happening..

The matrix would be modeling a probabilistic system which is something like a monte carlo simulator. The only way it could do this is if it had access to probabilistic truths. Basically we cannot have truths in a subset that are not also in the super set.

The idea is so crazy, but it's related to the matrix and the many worlds ideas. We have concepts of infinity and we know that simple laws can create emergent behavior. Laws can all be encoded in number systems, and if numbers can be the atoms of reality, then many realities will exist in a paradoxical fashion.

Yes, but you deny they must have access to probabilistic truths in their more real reality?

I think truths and falsities are just compound mathematical combinations in an "allegory of forms" number system that has some kind of divine structure, where chaos and unpredictability derive from garbage sequences, but the interface gives time-like animation to these systems which are basically just infinite numbers contained within a larger infinite number, and so goes a paradox I embrace. I have no proof for any of this, but I am pursuing the mathematics from several angles.

Not necessarily. The stoics have an interesting way of looking at this.
It may be true that your actions result from causal factors, but the way you react still shows your character.
Think of pushing an object down a hill. It started rolling because you pushed it, but the way it rolls is determined by its own characteristics.
Although one isn't necessarily responsible for their actions, we can still make character judgments.

How about this philisophically:

A man follows the paradigm set forth in this thread, he seeks pleasure and avoids pain. He then meets one who makes him consider others on a deeper moral level, one that increases alturism at the expense of pain. This influences his further decisions, and ultimately changes what he was biologically determined to do. Has he not received influence outside his genetics?

No, it doesn't.There are indeterminate states sometimes, but they don't exist everywhere.

But he wasnt forced to change his behaviors, he chose to. His decision to increase alturism is an example of free will.

You can't choose to change your behavior. You can only do what you believe will be the most pleasurable and least painful outcome. In the case of altruism, the expense of pain would outweigh the greater satisfaction of doing a "good deed". Your argument is null.

Why would they never have the same ratio? You didnt really give a reason, you just said thats how it had to be. In fact, the way determinism is presented seems to be like that as well. You claim things like morality are predetermined because of genetic factors, but what are those factors? It seems like a combination of nature vs. Nurture, where nature sets the base of decision making, and then any variance from that which may indicate a conscious, independent choice boils down to "well genetics did it" with no further reasoning. Sounds a lot like the patriarchy or the jews to me.

Suppose there was a situation in which there were equal amounts of pain and pleasure. Upon making his choice, the individual could not account for why he chose one or the other.

(guided one/den vejledte) på arabisk.. der vil være kejser af dem.. kalif.. alle 1.6 milliarder af dem.. og de rovrender os med konspirations teorier omkring eu osv.. og alt imens ved muslimer meget vel at de vil gerne have mahdi til at komme! som er suveræn kejser over et nyt kalifat! Det er bæst imperiet som biblen beskriver.. og dem der ikke forstår islam forstår ikke bibelenen.. fordi når du forstår islam forstår du bibelen fordi islam er direkte djævelens manuskript.. det er vandvid at folk ikke ved det.. jeg tror folk har in generel ide om at der er noget meget galt ved islam men de hiver altid en eller anden imam eller whatever op til interview og selvfolgelig som forventet lyver han roven i laser.. men hvis folk ville læse deres tekster og vide hvad det er islam står for.. hvis jeg kunne knipse mine fingre og fra i morgen alle i danmark muslim og ikke muslim osv. ville vide præcist alt hvad islam er og hvad der er i deres tekster.. så ville der gå 2-3 dage for der ville blive foreslået lovgivning for at islam ville blive ulovligt at praktisere.. men det er selvfolgelig onsketænkning.. men det er SÅ slemt.. tro mig.. men tro mig ikke bare.. læs det og når du har forstået hvor slemt det er så vil du vide at du kan stole på mig omkring det.

They don't realize and they do both at once, it's part of the paradox of infinity and primes, and I imagine it possible through some sea of unique structure that can be navigated in any direction through any lens or scope and all perspectives normalize to unity where they also contradict nothingness together to create each other in a sense as a paradox.

For our own reality, I think we have substrates of logic, and at the levels we're reaching in physics and science, there is some kind of information encoded upon a topological surface which itself is all encoded in a string sequence. Through some translation of this infinite string you can derive any experience, both valid and invalid, and networks or families of experiences form, and some will perfectly meld into others, while others have abrupt destructive sequences. All of the combinations are based in probabilistic terms in the way entropy is described. I suspect garbage sequences create chaotic links in patterns with actual information content, and I think some of these sequences manifest as our consciousness kind of like a signal riding on a carrier frequency of reality, except the frequency is a unique string scope.

Not really. My speculation I'm describing is more spiritual and mystical because I am embracing paradox and hoping it explains how we can have confined free will. I think of consciousness as information interaction, or more flattened, as a unique number sequence.

I guess take godels incompeteness (and stuff like chaitin's omega number) + chaotic unpredictability + applications of measure theory with probability and topology (things like fibre bundles).

In the end, our conscious experience has an origin out of nothingness and from then on it is a constant flow of information available to us which can be classified as how we perceive it and the interactions of these information and the mathematical rules that govern their interaction manifest as our consciousness, and because the structure is infinite, there is a greater being for which we belong to kind of like those russian dolls. Each of our existences is both infinite and nothing thanks to the endless possibilities in the primes. I have no ontology, I just am spouting this.

You don't adopt anything under genetic determinism. It's already there. Nothing changes it, and whatever might have influence it certainly is not "you" or your mind. There is no such thing. It's just particles in motion. We're not even having a discussion. We aren't even here. We don't even exist.

There is something about paradox that will always let things be both real and unreal. There are many dead ends, infinite regressions and such that lead to realities that mean nothing. 0 and 1 are a duality like the yin yang and they encapsulate infinity paradoxically.

Well then then the only possible motivation for him to choose one pill over the other would be free will, if he doesn't exist then he would always choose the same pill and the other pill might as well not exist and essentially doesn't.

I suppose you could make an argument for infinite realities where every choice forms a new string of consciousness in an immensely huge web of lifetimes. But you as a conscious being and observer in your limited dimension could only ever observe one reality at a time and therefore would only see one selection. The argument could be made that whatever choice you made was always the choice you were determined to make and the only reality you could ever perceive.

Sorry dawg free will is essentially an illusion in our existence, we need to be a dimension up looking down in order to have enough information to know if our choices are of free will or not, like a god would be to us.

A string sequence with 0 information content.

Ultimately, if you take a set of logical axioms or postulates and go from there to explore your emergent world of truths (the infinite, arbitrary, abstract, coincidental families of sequences), for any paradox you come across, there will be a resolution to this paradox through a greater context, but that reality is unavailable to you so it is unreal in your subset consciousness of limited logical truths, and once you enter the new context, your reality is not the same. At any level there is a limit to the provable truths and provable falsehoods available to you, but if you add more context they are resolved, yet new paradoxes will arise since no set of axioms is self consistent. What the structure of all these sequences mean I don't know, but I believe it has to be related to the primes since they are infinite, have a common friend of 1 which is the duality of 0 and exist as the anti-infinity encapsulation paradox, and are shattered into irrational sequences of 1s and 0s when divided by anything else. Any whole number can be constructed from a sequence of primes.
>>
>>76037228
How do you distinguish between a strong sequence with 0 information content and string sequences that *do* have information content?
>>
>>76037502
calculate entropy which is a probabilistic meaning. Perhaps probability is built into the structure of the primes? Anyway, you will find patterns with information. Patterns can represent many things in different frameworks and context (like the theory of forms, or abstraction of software), so an infinite sequence may be unique, but that infinite sequence is also not unique in that it's also a finite number within a larger infinity as it expands out further. All numbers relate back to primes which relate back to 1 though, and so all possible sequences of infinity exist equally in paradoxical contradiction to nothing.
>>
>>76038155
>calculate entropy
Uncertainty doesn't necessitate a lack of information though.

K, that's not how I was using entropy. That doesn't tell me what has information content though. It only tells me some things can be regarded as not conveying information.
Do you like Bayesian probability?

It is identified in its paradoxical nature. It is just a string of numbers that do nothing or provide a logical contradiction. It would be coming from the structure of primes where we get all our labels basically. We will have infinite labels for non sense but they almost certainly will be some kind of failure in a synthesis of what we are just like a fractal has many meaningless structures which only help to further propagate its steady state recognizable patterns.

Yes, that's my more comfortable way of understanding probability for now.

They exist. And you can describe them. I wouldn't call them an unreal thing if that's even a possibility.
Meaning is also something we ascribe to things to begin with, unless you think any of your numerical strings as conveying something like brute facts. But then I'd be brought back to where your ontology is coming from for why that would be the case.

Lots of people in philosophy of mathematics and science like it.

You have about 5 things going at once, my friend. Regardless of modes of existence, parallel dimensions, or recursive loops, a choice was made on preference, which was developed by our character's own self.

What preference though? They are the same pleasure and pain as far as he can tell

Yes, they exist in the sense of chaos or as contradictory information within a given scope. This is the defining attribute of chaos to me. I mean nothing in the sense of useful information content rather than the number 0. Information content is useful when it is used in a context to provide emergent reality.

What do you think of it? I only skimmed the surface of the frequentist approach because the authors of my texts decide to focus on bayesian, even in the practical applications.

Can't help but cringe when /pol/ tries talking about shit like this. Nobody here has any clue.

Contradictory to what though? Other strings? What if those strings are actually necessary and serve a function, and perhaps you just couldn't find the relation? Making the determination between useful and not-useful information seems troublesome without something akin to omniscience or total knowledge of everything as a whole (which is an inexhaustible infinite so not really feasible).

There's a trouble with what you're articulating as coming off as being an ad hoc type metaphysics. I don't have any problem with such, but alot of people - mostly naturalist types - really object to such kinds of system formulations.

>>76039662
I agree with the most fundamental premise - that belief comes in degrees. I really strongly believe it's a nigh fruitless endeavor to tie or qualify/quantify belief in degrees though.
