Ah, now I see how it works! If Trump's actions accidentally lead to a good outcome—well, that’s just an unintended consequence. If things go south, though—obviously, it’s all Trump’s fault. Conclusion? Trump is bad, no matter what. How about we skip the pre-packaged outrage and just focus on what

Re: [FRIAM] Will it have free will?

Consciousness? Sure. Free will? Not so much. Science still doesn’t really understand consciousness, but I do think humans are conscious. Free will, though? I don’t believe in it—it seems more like a trick our minds play on us. On Thu, 6 Mar 2025 at 04:34, Marcus Daniels wrote: > Will it have con

Another round of popcorn, please—the plot thickens. After Friday’s tantrum in the White House, Zelensky has decided to toe the line. Start quoting Zelensky (https://x.com/ZelenskyyUa/status/1896948147085049916 ) I would like to reiterate Ukraine’s commitment to peace. None of us wants an endles

This is simply another instance of powerful people beating down those lower in the pecking order. No good will come of it. Even if you think the End is greater than the Means and evil people like Trump can accidentally do good, you have to remember, especially in a forum like this populated by
