    What if some parts of the universe are deterministic, and some others aren’t? Or that is is deterministic sometimes, but sometimes it is not?

    Then, would it mean that initiating a chain of deterministic events that eventually causes suffering makes me responsible for this suffering?

    What if i choose to cut taxes because i think I’ll have more money, but it causes a series of events that end up increasing organised crimes? What if it was always the deterministic result of that choice, but the choice itself was not deterministic and I could have chosen not to do it?



  • If you got the time, I find it incredibly satisfying to spend time to fix just one little thing in the house, (like a creaking door for example). Then, every time I use that thing, it reminds me of that success.

    Even if it’s just one simple fix out of the dozens of broken things, it still feels good! Also, friends may help with fixing the house 😉









  • I always found this study to be lacking…

    5 minutes is not worth 1 marshmallow. Marshmallows are not that good, so one is way enough. As a kid, I could never trust adults who wanted to limit good things. Who’s to say the strange adult in a white coat would really bring a 2nd marshmallow? What if they actually remove the marshmallow instead?

    In short, it can only separate kids in two groups: the blind followers of authority and the other ones.
