Stimpleton:

What exactly is your evidence for this claim?

… The existence of the “Higg’s Boson”???

Stimpson you have just clearly demonstrated your utter fanaticism and complete lack of understanding about what you are pretending to be an expert on.

I’m gonna save this post for the future.

A Graviton is the Quanta of the Gravitional field. When two Gravitons entangle (interact) they create a point in Spacetime.
And I am going to save this post for the future :)

When two gravitons interact? :D Stimpy is fanatical and doesn't understand his subject? :D

Crunchy Frog?
If you like. You can download it right away - assuming the site is still working. Haven't done anything with it for months. Yup, still seems to work.

Crunchy Frog Blues was my first album. (And my first single, too.) Had to release it on an independent label, of course, since the big record companies wouldn't know a catchy tune if it bit them on their naughty bits.

2) Spin 2.

Franko.
Remind me...Is spin=2 male or female. Is a graviton with spin=2 a little boy Graviton or a little Girl Graviton? Are girl gravitons pink? No, sorry, ignore that last question, I was just being silly......But I would like to know how to sex a graviton, so what is it? spin=2 is male or female?

Very good, wraith. You have correctly identified that you made at least two decisions. As I mentioned earlier, this example was given to show the difference in the MPB type of free will, versus free will with no MPB. The decision to pick a number probably had an MPB element. It might have been a wish to be seen as amicable. It might have been curiosity as to what I was going to do with it. Actually, I considered that you might refuse to pick a number and then your free will would have thwarted my experiment. However, you came through like a champ.

When I pick a number between 1-100, if I preferred a certain number over the others, then I would have "choosen" it.
What if I dont perceive a number that is more beneficial than another? 33 was the first number that came to my head. It looked good, so I "chose" it.
You claim this to be free-will? For you argument to be consistent, my perceived benefits must be all "equal" and that my every action is spontaneous.


Your second decision was to pick the number 33, and you even admitted you didn't know why. Well my friend, if YOU don't know why, how can you possibly hypothesize some other entity that not only knows you better than you know yourself, but is able to "force" you to pick a certain number without giving you a clue why? This is the free will decision that occurred without any MPB input, illustrating a fairly minor difference between free will and MPB. Apart from that, they are virtually identical.

?
I obey TLOP, dont you?
and
read above ;)

So what you are saying is you still can't rationalize why you would pick a certain number. Don't try. It was essentially random. ("More sexier"? :rolleyes: )

Was I obeying TLOP?
Is obeying TLOP random?


Calm down, hormone boy. You're not likely to impress any women here unless you stop talking gibberish.

Im not here to make friends
;)

Misa is probably just using his favorite Anime character as an icon. He has already disclosed his gender and has never claimed to be female. The fact that you cannot look at that icon without having carnal thoughts says more about you than him.

Carnal thoughts?
I said that Pixy is pretending to be a woman....X-rated stuff is it?
haha

But I hope you had a good (and safe) birthday party.

THANKS! ;)
Yeah, it was dandy
:cool:

I'm claiming every decision you make is free will in action, including the first thing that pops into your head. Some of your free will actions involve thought and careful selection (MPB) and some are apparently random (non-MPB), but both are free will.

Like I had said before....for your argument about free-will to be consistent, my actions would have to spontaneous, and I perceived all outcomes to be equally beneficial.
 


Yes, you have blithered about this before. So, what is it that I think I have, wraith? I observe that I have free will. What am I observing?

You observe free-will like a child observing a santa clause....
but really, 4 sided tris dont exist
;)


I have never once run a red light.

yeah, it's called MBP
and in every situation where you come to a red light and the conditions are the "same" you will ALWAYS stop

And we have established that MPB is free will.

because you said so?
lol

Do you buy your stupid questions cheap by the case-load? If I didn't have consciousness, I wouldn't think anything. And you have now reversed your position. Which is it?

!!!!!!!!
You said
"I'm not sure that the argument of free will is related to the functioning of consciousness."

wraith: Are your "choices" based on how YOU interpret information?

Pixy: Yes. No. Maybe.

dont want to give an answer?
suit yourself
;)


wraith: Just how often do you use "free-will" to ask someone to tie up your shoe laces?

Pixy: Oh, it's been several minutes at least.

In other words youre saying
"Ill just plead sarcasm, in the hope that the question goes away. Then I will be "right" by default."

wraith: No. You cant have both.

Pixy: Why not?

The moon cant "choose" it's orbit and obey TLOP at the same time.
A soldier cant be commanded to go to war and claim that it was his "choice".

Ah. So you choose to misunderstand what it means to obey the laws of physics now. Well, you are still wrong. Obeying the laws of physics allows choice. It doesn't remove it. Nor is there anything that does not obey the laws of physics. But not everything is capable of making choices. You, for example.

Yet your evidence is where exactly?
Saying that you have free-will is not evidence Pix.


Why? If you can't see that the atoms in the brain are arranged diferently to the atoms in the moon, you're a hopeless case as well as a mindless zombie.

Point?
You both obey TLOP.
And you cant have "choice" and obey TLOP at the same Time...


The brain processes information. Consciousness is an illusion presented by this information processing system. It's the user interface.

hahaha

Vote Pixy for Solipsism

wraith: What is something that obeys something and has "choice"

Pixy: Me. And all other humans. And bunnies which are not dead. You have to understand what "obey" means, and what the laws of physics are, and as you have demonstrated repeatedly, you do not.

Whats an example involving you and everyone else?

You may think so. You are wrong. I have explained why the moon does not and cannot choose anything.

LOL
did all the atheist miss the hint of sarcasm in my post?
you have failed to prodice free-willy too
;)
 
wraith said:

Why are you refusing to answer the question? You have stated that there is neither free will nor the illusion of free will. What then is it that I observe?
yeah, it's called MBP
Which as you well know has been shown to be free will.

Oh, and no, that's not the reason. Not the reason at all or in any way.
and in every situation where you come to a red light and the conditions are the "same" you will ALWAYS stop
Do you have any more evidence for this now than you did the last dozen times you were shown to be wrong?
because you said so?
No. Because I have shown it to be so. The Banana Pancakes and the Fork of Doom utterly demolish your concept of MBP. I note that you have not even attempted to debate this, but have retreated to ever more desperate assertions.
You said
"I'm not sure that the argument of free will is related to the functioning of consciousness."
Yes. I did. And I will ask again:

Do you buy your stupid questions cheap by the case-load? If I didn't have consciousness, I wouldn't think anything. And you have now reversed your position. Which is it?
dont want to give an answer?
Very well: my conscious choices are based on how I interpret information, various irrational factors, the chemicals that may be sloshing about in my bloodstream at that time, stray quantum influences, my present physical environment, and possibly other factors as well. Not everything I do is the result of a conscious decision, either. Since you are a mindless zombie, you will of course understand none of this.
In other words youre saying
"Ill just plead sarcasm, in the hope that the question goes away. Then I will be "right" by default."
No, I'm saying the question is stupid and irrelevant. Look, I'll ask my imaginary friend Bob to tie my shoelaces for me. There. Happy now?
The moon cant "choose" it's orbit and obey TLOP at the same time.
The Moon cannot choose anything.
A soldier cant be commanded to go to war and claim that it was his "choice".
Soldiers have been known to disobey orders, wraith.
Yet your evidence is where exactly?
Saying that you have free-will is not evidence Pix.
I have defined free will as the ability to choose between possible courses of action. I do this. It is objectively observable behaviour. Six billion other people also manage to do this. Only you, the sole mindless zombie on our fair plant, lack this ability.
Point?
You both obey TLOP.
Actually, given your recent definition of "obey":
Obeys = is controlled by = is moved by = under the authority of = is governed by = is subordinate to
No. Nothing "Franko-obeys" the laws of physics.
And you cant have "choice" and obey TLOP at the same Time...
It may be true that you can't have free will and "Franko-obey" the laws of physics, though you have not shown this. Fortunately, it doesn't matter, since nothing "Franko-obeys" the laws of physics. We live in the Universe, not in your confused imaginings.
Vote Pixy for Solipsism
Nothing I have said suggests solipsism, and I have categorically denied it both as my position and as a useful position in an way.
Whats an example involving you and everyone else?
Everything we choose to do.
did all the atheist miss the hint of sarcasm in my post?
Sarcasm? You wouldn't know sarcasm from a hole in the ground with you at the bottom.
you have failed to prodice free-willy too
Wrong. You persistently deny evidence presented to you. There are six billion humans in the world who do nothing but exhibit free will. And there's you, the sole member of the mindless zombie clan. And even you make the occasional slip.

What are you talking about? I did answer it. Youre blind woMAN!

Pixy: Do you have any more evidence for this now than you did the last dozen times you were shown to be wrong?

Yeah Pix, the only way that I can be wrong is if you run red lights at "random"
or ask your mum to tie up your shoe laces or not use dunny paper when youre in the loo
;)


No. Because I have shown it to be so. The Banana Pancakes and the Fork of Doom utterly demolish your concept of MBP. I note that you have not even attempted to debate this, but have retreated to ever more desperate assertions.

no it hasnt...it doesnt even make sense ;)

OH, I havent attempted to debate what?
I dont bother to reply to your replies that involves gibberish...(youre whole post is actually gibberish)


If I didn't have consciousness, I wouldn't think anything. And you have now reversed your position. Which is it?

I have reversed nothing.

Yeah, your free-will argument has a lot to do with consciousness actually.

Very well: my conscious choices are based on how I interpret information, various irrational factors, the chemicals that may be sloshing about in my bloodstream at that time, stray quantum influences, my present physical environment, and possibly other factors as well. Not everything I do is the result of a conscious decision, either. Since you are a mindless zombie, you will of course understand none of this.

I do actually ;)

but you dont....
youre obeying TLOP, yet you maintain that you have "choice"

No, I'm saying the question is stupid and irrelevant. Look, I'll ask my imaginary friend Bob to tie my shoelaces for me. There. Happy now?

because it challenges yours beliefs?

The Moon cannot choose anything.

neither do you

Soldiers have been known to disobey orders, wraith.

Then they are not obeying their commander.
Can you disobey TLOP?

I have defined free will as the ability to choose between possible courses of action. I do this. It is objectively observable behaviour. Six billion other people also manage to do this. Only you, the sole mindless zombie on our fair plant, lack this ability.

Ultimately, youre saying that 2 + 2 can "choose" to equal 3...sometimes 8

It may be true that you can't have free will and "Franko-obey" the laws of physics, though you have not shown this. Fortunately, it doesn't matter, since nothing "Franko-obeys" the laws of physics. We live in the Universe, not in your confused imaginings.

Im not the one who is confused
;)

Nothing I have said suggests solipsism, and I have categorically denied it both as my position and as a useful position in an way.

yeah, im an illusion too...
youre thinking me up right now

wraith: Whats an example involving you and everyone else?

Pixy: Everything we choose to do.

That doesnt answer the question.
You obey TLOP
You dont choose anything.
You want to say that we are different to the moon, in terms of obeying TLOP, by saying that the moon doesnt have a mind. You say that the mind is a product of matter. Even so, so what? Youre still obeying TLOP.

You cant obey something and claim to have "choice"
:rolleyes:

Wrong. You persistently deny evidence presented to you. There are six billion humans in the world who do nothing but exhibit free will. And there's you, the sole member of the mindless zombie clan. And even you make the occasional slip.

"Pixy says so" does not equal evidence
lol
 
Hey Wraith …

An important thing you have to keep in mind when you debate Pixy is that Pixy has a non-standard (A-Theist) definition of the term “Truth”.

To Pixy, a thing doesn’t just need to be TRUE to be TRUE, it also has to be “Useful”. In other words, if something is TRUE, but Pixy doesn’t consider it “Useful”, then Pixy considers it FALSE.

In other words Pixy is NOTHING more than a dogmatic Religious Fanatic, but I have the feeling you already knew that … :cool:
 
wraith said:

Yes, even if you don't know why you preferred it. Free will in action.


What if I dont perceive a number that is more beneficial than another? 33 was the first number that came to my head. It looked good, so I "chose" it.
You claim this to be free-will? For you argument to be consistent, my perceived benefits must be all "equal" and that my every action is spontaneous.
No, every action is not spontaneous. Some are carefully reasoned. But you have demonstrated that some of your actions are spontaneous. As I have said before, the purpose of this little exercise was to demonstrate the relatively rare situation where free will does not use MPB. However, even if you are using MPB, you can still be spontaneous and do something unpredictable. The "Fork of Doom" scenario demonstrates this.


?
Was I obeying TLOP?
Is obeying TLOP random?
TLOP include both randomness and non-randomness. You are not operating outside TLOP if you do something completely random (such as choose a number between 1 and 100). TLOP are quite capable of dealing with random data, as it does with certain aspects of quantum mechanics. For someone who holds such high esteem for TLOP, you give them too little credit.


Im not here to make friends
;)
Must resist.... not going to be so obvious....engaging free will.


Carnal thoughts?
I said that Pixy is pretending to be a woman....X-rated stuff is it?
haha.
Hey, I'm not judgmental, wraith. If it turns you on to imagine PixyMisa as a woman, then go for it. Twenty is a very itchy age. :D


Like I had said before....for your argument about free-will to be consistent, my actions would have to spontaneous, and I perceived all outcomes to be equally beneficial.
No, that is only true for the rare non-MPB case of free will. Every decision you make gives evidence for free will. Some are spontaneous, some use MPB. Some are smart. Some are dumb. The only common factor is that they are all your decisions.
 
Yes, even if you don't know why you preferred it. Free will in action.

Kind of like if you don't "know" what causes Lightning and Thunder then you say "God must be the one causing it"?
 
Franko said:

No. Not a thing like that. I can't use free will to cause lightening and thunder because it is not an available, perceived option.. If you believe in God, you could use your free will to say God causes it. Personally, I prefer more sensible explanations.
