• Sam Harris #1 quote about Free Will

  I don't know what to say. The act of making a choice is just to "select from two or more possibilities," as dictionary.com puts it. We do that. Cats and dogs and birds do that. Single cell amoebas do that. Trees can even be said to do that. And certainly computers do that. Even the problem Sam Harris is stating above is in the form of an if-then statement, the fundamental conditional statement upon which... Source: 5 months ago

• Possibly moving to Portland from Phoenix, AZ. Transplants (from anywhere), what considerations do you wish you would have thought of (or did) now that you live in Portland?

  Forgive me if this is a exhausting question, but I did search both this and r/Portland and didn't find many answers. Anyway, for the past few years I've been juggling moving to Portland (or Denver) against how comfortable I am now.
