@boriquagato Rwal life:
A worker can produce $100 of value a day.
They train on how to use computers and now any company who makes a nominal investment in computer systems can benefit from 10x more output from the same employee.
I buy a computer, hire them, and pay them $50 a day.
@RCEY28 Drill a slightly larger than 1/2 inch hole through the stump.
Bang some 1/2 inch all thread through the hole. Add washers and nuts. Secure the strap to the bolt.
Pull.
Also, digging out around the stump a bit with a landscaping axe is recommended, but not necessary.
@escJB@___TheGOOdWitch Interesting you don't mention the thoughts, intentions, or actions of the child. You seperate the hand from the person.
You specifically state that foreknowledge of outcome is causation, and then deny the repercussions of your own argument.
I believe you lack honesty.
@oidonhagouda Muslims should be accommodated in other countries the way they accommodate others who go to muslim countries.
Namely, they should pay extra taxes, their religious activities should be curtailed and if they disobey any local laws they should be subject to execution.
@escJB@___TheGOOdWitch Your conjecture can be summed up as such: if your parent knows your hand will be burned when you touch a hot stove then they cause your hand to be burned every time you touch a hot stove.
This reveals a fundamental flaw in your being that no amount of logic or reason can remedy.
@escJB@___TheGOOdWitch I learned you are not capable of having a discussion.
By your own definitions you have no agency or self determination, nor are you responsible for anything.
Knowing the outcomes of your own actions you would still attribute them to someone else because they could see it too.
@escJB@___TheGOOdWitch Interesting and refreshing.
Glad to meet someone who trusts God completely with everything in their life, everyone else's life, all of creation, and completely supports God's decisions and judgements.
@escJB@___TheGOOdWitch What level of intervention do you deem is necessary if someone is determined to do something you know will have detrimental outcomes?
@escJB@___TheGOOdWitch When did I become omniscient???
That changes the whole question.
You, knowing I am omniscient, hear me tell you not to do something. I as creator, made you able to not take that action. You do it anyways, refusing my help and state I am causing you to do what I told you not to.
@escJB@___TheGOOdWitch That'a a bold claim.
What if I specifically told you not to do that action? Am I still causing everything that happens as a result of your action, to the limits of my ability to predict the outcome?
@BenShindel If the intent of any discussion is to get "an academic perspective," then the intent and results are never directly correlated with truth or accuracy.
Choose which you want, and state it plainly.
@escJB@___TheGOOdWitch You're getting way ahead and making unproven statements.
Are you in fact stating that if I let you do something and I know the outcome of your actions I am both causing you to act and also causing the outcome of all your actions to the limit of my knowledge?
@Mulachi1@___TheGOOdWitch It is obviously broken in some fashion.
Unstated assumptions abound in the poor child's argument, rendering it false and also indefensible.
Not sure if that is intentional or due to some deficit or defect.
Noticably attempted for emotional payoff, rather than truth seeking.
@PhilosophyOfPhy His lecture does not go far enough down the path of scientific cultist.
He spoke of misunderstanding and misattribution of causation.
Now we are confronted by cult leaders who intend to mislead and who use the cultist trappings of science to do so.
Recovering from illness is an opportunity to change habits.
Makes you wonder if it's not unrelated to why illness occurs in the first place.
Maybe illness is just integral to behavioral pattern interruption and establishment.
From dope sick to hay fever, a truism.
