Fact #7
From an empirical viewpoint, the problem with Free Will (and causality) is reconciling determinism and freedom to make sense of morality.

First I wrote this:

I dunno man if that's real then I think the video is pretty edited, that isn't live audio captured moving through space - it's fake delay, and obviously is dubbed over the footage.

Then I found this



and it sounds like they add delay to the drone's voice ahead of time?! To make it sound more authoritarian and scary maybe. I feel so fucking bad for these people...

70 Percent of Pure Human Blood Ready for Transfusion Found to Contain Xanax

Scientists testing a small but random sample of donated blood ready for transfusion have discovered that 70 percent contained traces of Xanax.

Writing in the Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical earlier this month, researchers were surprised by the level of pharmaceuticals detected in supposedly clean blood batches—in particular, the concentrations of cough medicine and anti-anxiety medication.

The testing also revealed that all 18 batches of blood contained caffeine, suggesting America's love of coffee, tea and other caffeinated beverages runs deep.

Before Clearview Became a Police Tool, It Was a Secret Plaything of the Rich

Investors and clients of the facial recognition start-up freely used the app on dates and at parties — and to spy on the public.

...“defense” research into a super-virus and the corresponding vaccine; the vaccine can be pre-deployed to unwitting AI-aligned humans; the rest of the world will be devastated by the subsequent release of the super-virus. this can all be carried out by people who either don’t know what’s going on, don’t care because they’re getting rich, or can’t object
not saying my above scenario is happening, but it's soooo not impossible

is there a word or philosophical school of thought around the moving moving of ethical decision-making into ethics-free realms? this is my enemy

edit: lol forgot my pertinent link...
President Trump reportedly tried to poach German scientists working on a cure for coronavirus and offered cash so the vaccine would be exclusive to the USA
