Reply to comment by Ytar0 in Compatibilism is supported by deep intuitions about responsibility and control. It can also feel "obviously" wrong and absurd. Slavoj Žižek's commentary can help us navigate the intuitive standoff. by matthewharlow
I'm not convinced the very concept of free will isn't meaningless. It doesn't necessarily correspond to any aspect of reality. There is an embedded assumption that there is an objective reality in which that free will is exercised and that's a meaningless concept, too. I can only be point to my own subjective experience, and I don't know if the idea of free will has any significance in that context. It feels purely conceptual, purely semantic.

Oh that's interesting. So that would have been around the Edo period, 1800s, when they opened Japan up a bit to foreign trade? It's interesting that Japan hadn't figured out a blue dye of their own. Do you know what is used to make Prussian blue that Japan didn't have, or hadn't figured out how to make?

Oh wow I never really noticed that. That's definitely an apt metaphor for all people of all times. The universe loves to misdirect us with one hand while it slaps us with the other.

I love the little wave peaks like fingertips, or like a fractal pattern, each wave has several tiny waves, each made of several tinier waves. It evokes the idea of Indra's Web, or Indra's Net, an infinite net or spiderweb covered in dew, where every droplet contains in it the reflection of every other droplet, an expression of pratityasamutpada, the dependent origination of all things.

I love the use of Hokusai's waves underneath. One of my favorite paintings...or is that a woodblock? I think it might be a woodblock but either way I've always loved it.

And they'll cost as much as our cars do now, which will be as expensive as our houses are, which will be the size of our car, and we won't be able to fit our future bed in it so we'll sleep in little cat beds, which will cost as much as normal beds cost now.
