Physics assumes the conclusion. If free will exists (which it appears to), it must exist within the contingencies of physics. To assume otherwise it to say that you don't like physics.

I like to think of things like hurricanes as kinda proto-alive things, in the sense that they are somewhat unpredictable, though have dynamic structure and somewhat maintains that structure in the face of chaotic environment.

But, if we were to speed your brain up a million times, when you look at my brain, it might seem a lot more predictable - much more like an inert machine than a dynamic animal. So there's a kind of relativism to whether one subject perceives another subject as "alive" or free-willed, given their own context.

Well, disprove in the sense of showing that inconsistencies will lead us to believe that the interpretation is not likely to be as accurate as some other interpretations.

> it disallows the idea of a decision being undetermined and free to decide

That doesn't compute. A decision doesn't do deciding. A decider decides decisions. Any phenomena of "will" necessarily implies contingency on a prior. To ask for non-contingency is to ask for freedom _from_ will.

How free-willed or "alive" an object is, from one subject's perspective, will have a lot to do with how _unpredictable_ the possible futures of the object seem, relative to that subject.

Which is why this paper proves the Copenhagen interpretation of QM is wrong.

As an atheist, I love this CoC. Because these comments like yours are illuminating the non-inclusive, intolerant, authoritarian ideology taking over the CoC-wielding open source community these days. So yes, I'd be fine with "Allah."

You're basically saying that putting "SF Dem" in front of anything makes it less evil. Brainwashed.

Other CoCs mention other idealizations lots of times.

Do you truly _believe_ that? Would you say that is one of some number of truths you take on _faith_?

That's what every CoC does.

This shit is propoganda. Ain't no hackers giving up anonymity.

If you can just do that, can I just be a downstream user, and as long as I have a local license that says, "This is a rolling license fork of lerna" then I can redistribute to said companies?
