How can I apply to become a globohomo? I mean I’m straight but still, I would love to join the movement.
- Comment on Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit? 5 weeks ago:
Tbh, Lemmy leaning strongly to the left is a big plus for me. I mean, it’s easy to find right leaning or centrist communities everywhere. A clearly left leaning space is a gem I’m happy to help preserve and nurture. I’m saying that without offense in mind. But I feel the majority of social networks / boards / microblogging sites lean farther to the right than Lemmy.

And both of them indeed!
- Comment on Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit? 5 weeks ago:
I just love it here. But I also know that while most communities are really nice, we rely a lot on two (2) individuals who provide a sizeable part of Lemmy’s content (Picard and PugJesus). We should all try to do our part!

Well, I can’t say I’m 100% sure it’s RPGMaker, but it has the tag on steam and the art styles is… quite matching ?

- Comment on Is martial arts really that useful? 1 month ago:
I’m not certain, given your use case. As someone with a deep passion for martial arts (judo > Jiu Jitsu > Aikido > Tai Chi), I would say while they can be useful in certain situations (even tai chi chuan, which is certainly the most inner one). Self defense classes with actual teaching about fighting a guy with a knife/gun would be more suited, maybe.

Ah, yes, that’s also true. Thanks!
- Comment on NSA and Ghidra 2 months ago:
Yeah but… isn’t it weird that they share their tools then?
I’m not into conspiracy stuff. It’s just that when I downloaded Ghidra for the first time, when I saw it was being published by the NSA, I had a “wow, didn’t expect that” reactions and it somehow became a shower thought.
It may be important to say that I’m not from the US. Where I live, I’m not sure things like that would happen or have happened. Well, or it did and I didn’t really pay attention.

Possible case : me. I often forget my seat belt. Fortunately, most people remind me about it and then I immediately fasten it.
The reason is simple. I think I use a car, always as a passenger, like 3 times a year. When I used to drive, it was such an automatic gesture I’d never forget it. But it’s so easy to forget when it becomes very rare. Everything is hypnotizing when you enter a car. I’m glad the driver reminds me, but I could be OP’s lost one.

You could have stopped at (universal) servitude. But yeah, they say it all becomes clear p.72!
- Comment on Those books are different from how I remembered… 3 months ago:
By pushing the idea that the humain brain is capable of “free” decision making to adapt to its environment without being forced by external factors it seemed to me that it implied an exception, or, otherwise, you’d be forced to extend that hypothesis to all living beings, and causality would surely take offense ?
I’m answering, but I see what you mean, and I generally agree with it. I just tend to think the idea of free orientation/action is both dangerous and the reason of a lot of human suffering. I’m also a compatabilist, but I another way I suppose.

One cauld rightfully argue “determination” and “predetermination” are wildly different concepts. The comic is wrong on this. But let’s go page 72 anyway
- Comment on Those books are different from how I remembered… 3 months ago:
I propose to sincerely rebute this conception which I always found lacking. And if we’re to rely on facts and facts only, I’ll say its internal decision are themselves absolutely determined by several factors, most if not all of them being determined causally.
In that sense, it is imo both the more scientific and logical, but also eliminates vague and speculative concepts like “free(dom)” and “free will”, which would somehow escape universal determinism, hence creating a special case in the laws of causality for humanity only.

Indeed!
- Comment on Here kitty kitty 3 months ago:
I’m not qualified enough to approve or contest this statement, but I know for a /phisicistsfact that there was a time when great mathematicians were also great philosophers and they couldn’t conceive doing one without the other (Leibnitz or Descartes, among many others). Why I changed and exactly how, I don’t know, but I find it interesting.
- Comment on Here kitty kitty 3 months ago:
Meh. Natural sciences and philosophy/methaphisics are quite closer/more intimately linked than you seem to think.

- Comment on Objectivity 5 months ago:
Empirical evidence wins out in the end but… it’s not that simple. One name said a lot about this : Thomas Kuhn. Try giving The structure of scientific revolutions a read whenever you can. It’s old and there are more contemporary work, but Kuhn is still a reference in epistemology.

I literally agree with you and you’re arguing with me. That’s… awkward.

True enough, but that wasn’t my point. I was referring to the French FN/RN.
