Me too. I'm terrible at writing papers.

I've never finished a paper in my entire life! Isn't that an assistant's job?!

But then I have agreed with your secret implication heh? (this is where I would love a naughty grinning smiley) :)

I admitted I am lying even to myself, and am trying to project a better self than what I really see in myself.

Chew on that ;) and then tell me if I am suited for politics or not.


One should lead by example, or not at all. Despite being imperfect.

Then how did you get your degree! :P

Unfortunately diaper changes and being high do not mesh well...

So you're not being true to yourself? That's a perfect politician. ;)

WHAT?! I need to GET A DEGREE?! Noone informed me of this!
Quick! BURN THE LAB! DESTROY THE RESEARCH!

TO THE BARRICADES!

FOR GLORY! And beer.

BEER!

VIVA LA REVOLUTION! DOWN WITH THE BOURGEOISIE!

Guys, I think Brasas is about to kick us out. And at this point, who'd blame the dude?

But it's my hypothetical. :)

I can precise it further until you are satisfied that my inaction caused Jane harm. Rather than having accidentally happened at the same time.

I mean, I thought the causation was obvious. Maybe expand why you don't see causation in my proposed scenario?

If you want to define causation to imply action, sure I guess. But then please tell me what word I need to use that does not imply moral agency, but does imply determinist causation.
So you were serious from the start about me and politics, and my original answer stands. :D

Aren't paradoxes fun?

Hmmm... that's perhaps too revealing... [kicks himself out of the thread for a while]

You make my brain hurt. I think I'll just go back to easier things, like investigating extreme violations of local realism in quantum hypergraph states.

Now that's a loaded topic.
