I confirm. It's hilarious. People are trying hard to find other means of mentioning this service without actually saying ChatGPT but most of the times, they're stuck and everybody keeps a straight face but deep down we all know the boss/teacher/minister just said, "cat/pussy I farted" and I think it's wonderful.

Cadenza plats music. Cadenza also reads Thomas Mathiesen.

I'm trying to patch together my conception of free will and determinism to sum it up here in answer, but it's full of holes. Basically it goes like this. Determinism is the rule of nature and, of course, mankind. Free will doesn't exist. Some measure of freedom and emancipation, on the other hand, do exist. It's hard to sum it up. Basically, very close to a spinozist stance, just with more holes and gaps. But I'll stop here since the OP specifically asked to leave philosophical perspectives at the door.

Yes, but there's such thing as a class war.

Extra fine meme, thank you OP !

That's a good argument. It reminds me of the idea of free will as a necessary illusion. Something that us fundamentally not true, but without which societies can't operate.

carefully leaves his philosophical hard determinism at the door.

Well, I'd better learn a thing or two
