Re: Free agent cannot be created
I think you are mixing things. An indeterminate system is a system that its state is not known. That doesn't mean that the system doesn't have any state. Well... to reply to the above, please refer to these quotes from my large quote: We can't know both an electron's position and momentum, therefor...

Re: Free agent cannot be created
I found a really good (and very old) article that tackles the subject. https://hilo.hawaii.edu/~ronald/310/Quanta.htm I quote it below. The significance of it is that quantum world is indeterminate, and its effect on the macro world (the world we live in and experience via our senses and apparatuses...

How can you forget, Henry? You made the piont for six pages
What point am I tryin' to make? Indeed. If you are so forgetful or stupid that 1. you make a point and 2. in about five minutes you forget your own point, they you are not only stupid, but forgetful as well. Why do you put yourself out for the whole world (of those who can think) to laugh at you? N...

When stupidity will be declared illegal, Henry will be jailed
Not really. We read the paper, cluck disapprovingly at the crime section, and go about our business. We don't insist our towns, cities, nations, lockdown . We don't . You doofus. The propensity to commit murder, break-ins, rape and theft is not spread by human contact with someone else who does hav...

Stupid until proven otherwise
The thing is, if someone has cancer, heart disease and diabetes and is living, even if poorly, and then this someone has cancer, heart disease, diabetes and COVID 19 and dies, then COVID becomes a little suspicious. There are clear and very well defined indicators to tell who dies from what. Henry,...

Stupid until proven otherwise
Try this (I think it addresses your complaints)... From 1-1-20 to today: 298,680 people have * officially died from beer virus. From 1-1-20 to today: 287,066 people have ** officially died from cardiovascular disease. You are being mislead by your own blind wish to prove a point which you can't. Pr...

Re: Free agent cannot be created
I have an argument against emergence if you mean that. I can provide it if you are interested. Your deterministic model already proves that emergence is impossible without a supernatural or qualia-type substance interacting with matter. My only contention is that qualia can be created by a determin...

Re: Free agent cannot be created
Ok, the equation is as following: i*(d/dt)Psi(r,t)= H Psi(r,t). i is square root of minus one. (d/dt) is the time derivative. r is the position. Psi(r,t) is the wave function. And H is the Hamiltonian operator. Psi(t) is a complex function and its norm squared gives the chance of finding a particle...

Re: Free agent cannot be created
How do you get to the impossiblity of a free agent getting created by a deterministic movement structure? It happens. All the time. If your argument is a priori, then you must show where and why it is impossible. I maintain that inanimate objects can combine in such ways that they create a sentient ...

Re: Free agent cannot be created
The problem is that matter cannot decide since it is deterministic. The decision is due to a free agent. This is very true. But only in instances when the decision is to be made between two or more EQUALLY avaiable and EQUALLY desirable outcomes. This can be done by the mind. But not by an inanimat...

Re: Free agent cannot be created
The Schroedinger equation basically tells us how the information moves around. It is a deterministic equation, deterministic means that given the information at now, the information in the future can uniquely be determined. Whoa. That's not how a proper interpretation of an equation is. Instead, yo...

Re: Sick until proven healthy
I'm not telling us what we can and can't do. I'm saying we (as in we the people, not just the technocrats) should weigh all the costs against the benefit (assuming there is one) of lockdown, before we lockdown and during lockdown if we decide to go through with it. If the costs outweigh the benefit...

Re: Sick until proven healthy
Here's what we got... 20,946,445 dead, all over the world, since 1-1-20, from everything (minus beer virus). 291,519 dead, all over the world, since 1-1-20, from, we're told , beer virus. Nearly 21 million deaths and we keep rockin' & rollin'. Nearly 300,000, we shut down the juke, close up the...

Re: Free agent cannot be created
Matter behaves in a deterministic way in quantum regime too. The Schrodinger equation is a deterministic equation. The Schrodinger equation is an equation for spread of information. Mind is the solution to those problems. There are minds interacting through information. Interesting. I don't know wh...
