If free will is an illusion why do I struggle ordering sandwiches

>>16853117
you have the freedom of choice, we all do. what matters is the number of choices we have. you have one icecream flavor? you either get it or not. you can choose to get it. or not. you have this freedom. dont' know why people are so confused about this
>>
>>16853117
It's the social interaction, not the choice making, Tubbs O'Meow.
I want pickles and jalapenos but they aren't included if you say "with everything" and I can't look the sandwich order taker person in the eye to fix my order if I fuck it up.

you're being influenced by fine micro-structures that physically exist but cannot be modeled because classical analysis uses limits to smooth away fine structure and turns it into "discontinuity" or "gaps" or whatever, and we're left with a big fat fucking nothing to actually explain what's happening at fine scales. This is why quantum physicists believe everything is truly random, because with current analysis you cannot even model infinitesimal objects, limits don't allow you to do this and tell you such things cannot even exist in nature, even though we know they do (black holes exist).
>>
Free will is like the illusion of color.
As long as I perceive it, it is.
Now, the real interesting question is, "what is wavelength in our analogy?". That is, what it the underlying physically measurable phenomenon that we perceive of as free will?
That's the good juice.

I honestly do not understand why they code like this. It's some weird way they get trained over in India by whatever sweatshop they learned in. I don't get it. It doesn't save money, it's not easier, and it doesn't do anything better.

Positive Circle,
If the Universe is a ball, which would make sense, because it started expanding in every direction uniformly at the same speed for about 14 billion years. The exact shape of the Universe should be the most exact sphere that could ever exist.
Negative Circle
If you zoom in, past the surface of that sphere, you will find massive black holes, those should be compressed matter around an intense gravitational distortion that is an exact perfect sphere of gravity, compressing matter and energy into an exact sphere.
Positive Circle
If you zoom into the orbits of objects orbiting black holes, you will find massive starts, which are essentially, spheres, though less perfect.
Negative Circle
If you zoom into the orbits of objects orbiting the starts, you will find massive planets that are spheres, and they are even less than perfectly spherical, but still pretty close.
Positive Circle
Around those planets, you will find Moons orbiting the planets, and those moons are spheres with slightly more imperfections.
Negative Circle
On the surface of those moons, there are craters, and as the moon spins, those creators represent empty spheres in the half sphere craters orbiting the moons, which are never exposed to light, and the most extreme cold temperatures collect there.
Positive Circle
Within the extreme frozen temperatures, exists shaking molecules that vibrate always even slightly above absolute zero, which functions as an orbit that preserves the conservation of energy accost time indefinitely.
Negative Circle
Those Atoms that comprise the molecules will have nucleus that essentially orbited by electrons.
Positive Circle
Those Nucleus are comprised of Quarks, which... Once again would have an orbital interaction.

These were considered comically huge breasts not even 20 years ago. You go back 40 or 50 years the average bra size was maybe a B. It wasn't plastic surgery it's not because people are simply bigger. What caused bob sizes to explode in the last 50 years? Did our DNA change? This shit is wild.

There're should exist a breast-to-waist ratio because obesity makes breasts larger but in a self-defeating way.

try to factor in that you might not be the only flying car in the air, and that humans are untrustworthy as fuck
if you look at it from the über rich, well he'll have a super luxury room right near the office and that will be it, no flight required, some others will fly from their mansion, with a pro pilot
but when this hits mass production, it'll be an uber for those with hella cash, there's more factors to the equation that I won't reveal, but basically take me from medium far, to the office, is the thing here, or from the office to the airport, or from x to that ebin restaurant
that's what is mostly going to be used for in the early stages
you piloting these things, well you better have cash for burning and the licenses, eventhough all are saying "no license required Xd", that won't "fly"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine-structure_constant

137.035999

>In physics, the fine-structure constant, also known as the Sommerfeld constant, commonly denoted by α alpha (the Greek letter alpha), is a fundamental physical constant that quantifies the strength of the electromagnetic interaction between elementary charged particles. It is a dimensionless quantity (dimensionless physical constant), independent of the system of units used, which is related to the strength of the coupling of an elementary charge e with the electromagnetic field

WTF is this number? Is it important? What does it measure?
Can you show me a .webm of this in actual physical reality or is it just more madeup nerd slop like "Ether" and "Dark Matter" and "Black Energy"?

Doesn't matter. It was all superdetermined already, after all. Superdetminism über alles. No one has the ability to decide which experiment to perform, or when to perform them, so scientific progress can be nothing more than (superdeterministic) stamp collecting. Only when this Unquestionable Gospel of secular Ghazi Bell and secular Grand Mufti Einstein are fully appreciated, together with complete and total destruction of the Copenhagen Infidels, will all of society's problems be solved. Superdeterministically, of course.
