Sure, but bash is more relatable, I think

It's not according to quantum physics we observe

I don't think my wording implies that the will is sitting on top of those processes, but rather that it's an emergent property of them. You're the one who's implying a false dichotomy - just because our choices might be influenced by prior causes doesn't mean we don't have agency. I'm asking what makes you think our actions are predetermined, not what makes you think we have some kind of magical free will that defies causality. Can you actually address the question I asked, rather than nitpicking my phrasing?

I am curious to hear why you insist it's inevitable. What intrinsic properties of the universe make you believe that we don't have any choice and all our actions are set in stone?

I want chocolate, I don't eat chocolate, exercise of free will.

By your logic no alcoholic could possibly stop drinking and become sober.

In my humble opinion, free will does not mean we are free of internal and external motivators, it means that we are free to either give in to them or go against.

If the escape velocity is above 1c, isn't it a black hole?

Kill La Kill - a side story

Agreed, fossil energy sources add more climate gases to the eco balance. I suppose the original idea of "carbon capture" was to capture the excess and store it back under ground.

But, we do have "technology" for direct carbon capture. Trees and plants. It will consume a lot of valuable real-estate, but we could plant a lot of plant life which would use carbon for growth.

There is just not enough will and to much economy incentives to not terraform earth.

I love the Americans in this thread answering the question literally

I haven't played Magic much, but boy let me tell you that this is Yu-Gi-Oh in a nutshell!

 

Hi! Sorry if this is a common question.

Is there a tool, search engine or methods so search for a given topic or posts on Fediverse (lemmy, kbin, mastadon, etc)? I come across a lot of great discussions and posts. It would be great to find more about a specific things, or even debugger a problem. Kind of like appending reddit to your Google search to find a niche discussion or solution.
