Is it possible to apply the concept of free will to any "matter"?

[Olga]

Idiot. Reread your own posts.

Ольга. Приятно познакомиться.

 

[(Q)]

I'm not trying to deceive anyone here.

You mean you're really that stupid?

Why would I want to? I'm interested in understanding some things myself. And yes, it's not a given that I'll share the fruits of my thoughts with everyone.

Brilliant, come to an online forum to NOT share your thoughts. Why didn't I think of that?

Olga: you started with infinite universe. Quotoing you here:

: if our visible material universe is infinite, then determinism is

Then you switched to multiverse

Dave, you've confused determinism with the multiverse.

This continued dishonesty looks very bad on you.

Отвали, Мартин. Мне лень с тобой ругаться.

ГДЕ я упомянула мультиверс до того, как ТЫ о нём заговорил?

 

[(Q)]

Back off, Martin. I'm too lazy to argue with you.

You have no concept on how to argue, all you do is make utterly absurd claims and then run away to hide.

Опять перевод тупит? Я не писала "спорить", я писала "ругаться". Зачем мне с тобой спорить? Ты глуп, как пробка.

 

[(Q)]

Is the translation being slow again? I didn't write "to argue," I wrote "to quarrel." Why would I argue with you? You're as dumb as a brick.

Yes, it's obvious you consider a lot of people here dumb as a brick, especially the ones that have to constantly correct the verbal diarrhea you keep depositing here.

НЕ говори за всех, Мартин.

 

[DaveC426913]

I quoted you once. I'll quote you again:

Dave, you've confused determinism with the multiverse.

That is the first mention.

Так это был ответ на ваше ошибочное утверждение.

 

[DaveC426913]

So that was a response to your erroneous statement.

Can i take that as an apology for your accusing me of being the first to mention 'multiverse'?

Then you can explain what statement i made that you consider erroneous.

 

[(Q)]

Don't speak for everyone, Martin.

I don't need to speak for everyone, your words are here where you accuse others of being dumb, the same ones who question your absurd claims, who push for you to defend those claims and then provide you with truthful commentary to the garbage you spew.

Мартин, в младших классах мальчишки иногда дёргают девочек за косички, чтобы привлечь к себе внимание. Ты уже большой мальчик, Мартин, перестань так делать.

 

[(Q)]

Martin, in elementary school, boys sometimes pull girls' pigtails to get attention. You're a big boy now, Martin, stop doing that.

A squealing pig getting it's tail pulled has more sense than you.

Of course, your post implies that you're attractive, yet I see only ugliness from your words.

Ваш пост #715, он ошибочен.

I would ask you to explain how you think it's wrong.

By invoking an infinite universe to address cause and effect, presumably you are referring to the idea that, in an infinite universe, there are only so many combinations of atoms before they must form duplicates. I.e. in an infinite universe, if you go far enough, you will have to encounter another world with an identical DaveC426913 on it. Presumably, you are thinking that the actions of that DaveC somehow affect the actions of this DaveC.

If thats not where you were going, no problem. Please explain your logic then as to how an infinite universe eliminates determinism, in your opinion.

OK, I may think Olga is being foolish and trollish, but this crosses a line into personal attack.

Reported for bullying and generally being a childish jerk.

In my experience, first you have to stop your thoughts before you can learn to use the mirror of rationality. Then you can think or not think at will.

We are all unique and have free will, if only we can learn to use it.

The first two sentences seem to precede the third.
