@user4894 What you're saying doesn't make any sense. First you're comparing terms of use rules to racial discrimination. Not the same at all. Whether the blatant racism commited by a private entity is acceptable is up to the people/government to decide. Whether you got suspended from Twitter for violating the rules that you agreed upon when signing up is up to Twitter. Even common carriers are allowed to refuse service if someone is breaking the rules. Just a month ago the bus driver refused a customer because he brought a firearm with him and that was prohibuted.

Keep in mind that when you use private platforms such as YouTube and Facebook you accept their terms of use and freedom of expression doesn't apply.

For one you'd have to accept the notion of parallel universes.

What does "it will be limited in some sense if the coherence and effectiveness of "science" as a practice is to be maintained." mean? Are you saying that if I wanted to spend some no-questions-asked grant money to investigate the soil biodiversity in North America that I should have to get permission from some authoritative science research body first?

Deception means to be convinced into believing or knowing something that is not true and it involves manipulation. Not knowing is not the same as knowing something not true. I may not know the true shape of the spheroid planet Earth in as much as I don't know the exact geometrical parameters to draw a precise model, but flat Earthers know incorrectly that the Earth is flat and disk shaped. Different things.

How does whether only the subject knows or the entire population answer the question of how Descartes knows his mind isn't being manipulated?

@D. Halsey I agree. In fact premises 1-3 are questionable and if you believe them then you probably already believe in a great being without the need for this argument. I mean if you take "possible worlds" as a real thing, then why not accept MGB while you're at it?

There is no mention of chaos in any of those definitions. Also there are physical systems that are not quantum related that are deterministically chaotic.

Isn't 3 an example of 2? It reads the same just with deterministic being synonymous with predictable. 5 too.

I agree with Mauro. The condition would have to be that it is done upon command i.e. prayer. Not as a random occurrence. This also necessitates that it is done more than once of course.

I wonder if people that think suicide is murder also think that regret after purchasing something is theft or that tripping and injuring oneself is self-assault?

While there are likely few if any people that will be pro advocating for suicide there are likely many people that are pro freedom for suicide. In many places people that are caught attempting suicide can be jailed and forced into psychiatric care unwillingly. There is a question to be asked here if we as members of society owe our lives to that society and as such we can be arrested for attempting to harm people (ourselves) or whether our individual human rights (right to bodily autonomy) should prevail without fear of punishment.

Must decrease enthalpy?

I think "eugenic steering" is a nonsense phrase. It is one thing to restrict people from reproducing, and another to give others data about which they can make informed decisions in the form of prenatal screening.
