Well recently the news in France had the same effect for me. The fascists won the European election, then our president dissolved the National Assembly. And the fascists just seems to be more and more popular recently…

Not sure I share that viewpoint for the US, the history of the indigenous is the story of the people, not the nation.

And the US has many more populations that have great history, from EU and Africa.

But the beginning of its history is founded on the gathering and interaction of all those different cultures.

So for me saying the country is young doesn’t quite have the same connotations of erasure from colonialist, it mostly makes me think of how current the melting pot of all those different cultures are.

I still agree we shouldn’t diminish the importance of indigenous people in it.

Even better is, we casually drop the “Comment” and add the accent of a question instead, so it can go like : “Ça va?” “Ça va.”

Note that in French we can make the meaning of it vary from roughly ‘not great’ to ‘good’ just by how enthusiastic we are. It’s really only when we want to express radical emotions that we might stop using it.

(Although someone depressed might not want to express their distress and use it like the expressions in this meme…)

It is, and it doesn’t mean i don’t love them, i do.

Cats are more manageable to love because they don’t lick you, their fur still triggers it but not as much.

I think i got the allergy alongside my love of pets from growing up with the nicest cat ever.

So i’m honestly thinking about trying something to lessen the allergy, that or a hairless cat.

Come on he would definitely be cute with a mini shopping cart!

I’m allergic to cat’s and dog’s saliva, and to everyone like me he may stay a good boy, but he can’t be a good employee.

P.S. One solution is to give him a little cart

You know beauty isn’t just the word we use for aesthetic beauty, we also use it for concepts, such as this one.

Flies are not an enemy, and are fren food so they are ok.

Mosquitoes are the enemy, diseases, infernal sound and itchy bites. No purpose that flies aren’t here to do.

Another example, mosquitoes, they need to go extinct and all burn in hell. That and also bed bugs, fuck them too.

I also wish ants were not that invasive, I love them but hell they can be annoying.

Elitist entail their is a technical reason behind it, otherwise it’s only gatekeeping.

In music it can be some music theory, prodigious playing, complex sound design etc…

I did fall a bit into this idea of elitism too at first. It’s easy when you are just starting to educate yourself and only see the technique.

But then at some point you gotta start having opinions and preferences that goes beyond rationality, or your not really enjoying an art form.

You can still be a bit elitist, but then it’s only personal and you stop gatekeeping.

That said the technical aspects can be very interesting.

Moreover I also love the way anyone passionate about music describe what they like.

I love that linear extrapolation you know is only there to lie even more on a graph that’s already a baseless correlation.

I’m exactly like that too. I think my nature isn’t nice, but i can choose to be.

And i’m also admiring anyone that as that nice nature, i find it beautiful and extremely attractive. So to a degree i have that goal of trying to choose it whenever i can.

One drawback, wich also coincide with my very rational personality is that i hate having too strong of an emotion, had anger issues as a kid, but also the start of love is somewhat unpleasant for example.

But hey, to me as long as your trying to be better, your are good person.

I mean you could also just leave the people you holds grudges against and befriend a crow.

That would make you really cool too!

I started with c++ so does c really has advantages over c++ ?

And yeah same, Rust seems to be pretty cool too, at some point I’m gonna try it…

Hell yeah, as one i’m so glad we get to have the flag with my favorite color palette of them all.

Lesbian and gay are pretty good too tbh.

I have outlook for emails and they have it as a theme, i wish more apps would have that.

Ho, I see what you meant now by this optimizing idea. And yes i would agree, it’s not exempt from exceptions, but this is a good way to describe most brain functions, definitely useful. Reward circuit being a prime example, one you summed up very well.

I don’t know for protozoan but to anything complex enough to have subjective experiences yes, it could have it. Definitely an interesting idea, wich i guess would fit with God, but possible regardless.

Or when joking but suddenly you see them notice it’s real instead of laughing…

First of all, i don’t think we can reduce choices to something to optimize. You can’t know everything and your benefit is a pretty unknown variable too. Being rational is great but also not suitable for every choice, it’s not that that i would call free will.

Now the idea that what we are born as and every experience from then on shape you and your choice is a good hypothesis. It means we humans are just as deterministic as everything else.

Then free will is just the term we use for the unknown and unknowable in us. Like when we call rolling a dice random. But it’s not a real physical thing.

But here is where my proposal can still be a good hypothesis too…

There is one thing that is a black box to our knowledge, not our biology or our brain, but our conscience.

We don’t really know what it is yet. We know a lot of biology and we’re getting better and better at understanding our brain. But our subjective experiences are not explained by science. And thus in it could lie something not deterministic.

(As a parallel, just like we don’t know how to interpret quantum mechanics, wich could have true randomness, or not…)

P.S. i do this parallel with physics because i’m more knowledgeable on it, but also because i think there is a good amount of understanding and questioning we can have on determinism through it ^^

I don’t think all-knowing exist outside of fiction, and neither do God.

But just for fun, I think there is an interesting way religious people would answer, and a more satisfying one than just saying God’s works in mysterious way.

See we can see free will as a God given power to make choice in a otherwise deterministic world.

The testing would just see what we do with his power.

And since it comes from him, it could be outside of something knowledgeable, outside of the “all”.

Or, at least to make him or his powers outside of the “all” would be the best solution to paradoxes like can ‘God create a rock he can lift?’ etc…

P.S. Obviously another way to answer the paradox and my personal belief is to discard the reality of words like all-knowing or omnipotent. But i think this view has some merits, it can’t probably be better put philosophically… (I’m not a philosopher thought ^^)

Yeah, they added those forever ago, we really need a quality update. The end has huge potential imo, although that also mean it could take a while…
