the difference between discrete and continuous is someone deciding to disobey the red signal in [walking emoji] pedestrian mode effectively breaking the rules. and the sign has changed but how much? how much of a car wreck? stay safe out there discrete analog marbles cruel determinism |

Hold on, this got 4 replies from 4 people. Did any of you 4 people understand what epic was saying? can any of you paraphrase his gibberish into a real, cogent point? I'd love to see it. What is it that you think it is that you're replying to here? |

I think you lazy fucks wont bother dissecting this. I'll give it a go. the difference between discrete and continuous is someone deciding to disobey the red signal in [walking emoji] pedestrian mode effectively breaking the rules. It's a horribly written, borderline unreadable run on sentence, let's start with that. By discrete/continuous he probably means a singular, one off event rather than a systematic flow of traffic. Probably. It's completely fucking unclear because he can't write worth shit. The singular event would be, what.... someone running across the street when the sign says stop? and the sign has changed but how much? how much of a car wreck? he's saying the sign changed from HALT to GO? Vice Versa? "How much of a car wreck" would be secondary to a pedestrian being mowed down, so how much of a manslaughter? What does he mean by "the sign has changed?" is he saying there's not enough of a visual indicator? probably not, somehow, in his brain, this relates to his point about discrete vs. continuous, and the sign change is some kind of metaphor which he thinks is actually smart. Your metaphor has down syndrome, and is illegible. stay safe out there discrete analog marbles cruel determinism I think this line is just an attempt to save face and be funny, but you ineptitude at writing lost you all face years ago and you've never made a coherent joke since you called Mohammed Mo'harmed after I apologized for misspelling his name. State what you mean here in human parlance. |

In a reasonable description, actually digestible by the human mind, I would describe determinism ultimately as 1. Everything in an unchangeable result of the motion of the big bang, including the flow of your own neurotransmitters. You have no free will and are subject only to motion set by the big bang. or 2. Everything is the result of a pre-determined divine plan from a higher power In a scientific sense, any motion "set by the big bang" is questionable, since quantum theory has THUS FAR proved anomalous, random variables to be a universal truth. Any argument for divine determinism is never provable, never arrived at via reason, and is only based on faith. An argument for determinism to be like a crosswalk, with no ultimate thesis of any kind, is both non-contributoary and just made everyone dumber that attempted to post 4 replies about it (so just me). |

for my 5th reply I'll say: There is absolutely zero percent chance epic comes here and clarifies his point in any meaningful way. He may reply, but the waters will be further muddied. I'm calling my shot like Babe Ruth. I guarantee this outcome. |

i'm reading it as a cute meditation like hey what if a singular incident, a pulse if you will, was actually a continuous function instead of a discrete event. what if traffic lights, they have three discrete values right, red orange green (blue??) what if instead they were a continuous function and what if if you were to cross when the signal is trending red and you got into an accident, what if that was continuous also, right like what if it was a value between 0 and 1 of an accident. i like it. |

hah, well in the US we only have 2. "walk," and "don't walk," and they both have the same color. orange usually (in california), but green in some cities elsewhere. to help the blind, an automatic speaker proclaims "wait. wait. wait. wait." for 20 seconds while the don't walk sign is up. A solid feature, imo. I understand this idea of breaking free of the continuous flow (WALK/ DON'T WALK). The basic metaphor made a semblance of sense. However, when he says "the sign has changed, but by how much?" what on earth is he saying? It *seems* to be the CRUX of his argument. I dunno, it's always hard to pin a thesis down with epic. What did he mean there? I'm genuinely curious as to an answer. I cannot figure it out. |
