("Interpretations" of physics is not my expertise and I’m a bit skeptical, but I’ll try to be careful not to get into mysticism…) (Warning: disgusting) The common argument that collapsing superpositions leads to inherent randomness and thus makes free will possible seems to be misaligned with what people mean when discussing free will. I’ll explain my skepticism with an analogy: A scientist will do something differently if they detect that a radioactive sample decays in five seconds. The scientist’s state and actions depend on random decay of the sample, and I won’t call this free will of the scientist. I don’t think there’s something fundamentally different about the supposed (and really interpretive and perhaps mystic) collapse of superpositions in the brain causing things to go differently, and my example on radioactive decay. No matter if they’re inside or outside the body, truly random events are still spontaneously random @@ -112,6 +117,7 @@ <br /> (Or perhaps this experience is limited by my perception of my own trans femininity and isn't a common theme upon modern cis femininity?) <br /> + Also, those who don't experience trans experiences cannot assume that trans experiences do not exist. <a href="https://www.andrewyu.org/microblog/#7">&</a> </p> <hr /> |
