Regarding free will debate: As long as no other human controls my will, my will is free enough for me. Not sure why others aren't satisfied with that.

But hey it's voodoo right?

But hey you people just seem to keep on impressing me with your stupidity and unwavering will in preserving the little "intellectual bubble" you have. It's time for some facts and for kids to stop pretending to have a clue about what they're talking about.

Do you have a reading impediment or are you just hell bent on embarrassing yourself when called on by TC for some ego-aid?

It's okay, calm down. Everything's going to be fine. No need to be so aggressive. This is a safe place.

"In many ways, the notion of choice and chaos being real is akin to thinking magic isn't trickery and voodoo isn't science."

You seem very confused, our best models of reality, and by extension models that forward determinism and predict the future rely on chaos theory. This does de-facto mean that the computing power needed to accurately model a closed dynamic system over a long period is larger the the system itself. Discussing determinism vs free-will is as far away from real science as you will get and is more the realm of philosophers and other pseudo-scientists.

Don't dabble in educating others about what is true vs not true when your own idea of reality rests on a house of cards. Next time don't skip that physics class.

Oh I wasn't aware we where using your definition of "chaos" and not the generally accepted one. This is in part why discussing things on here is so fruitless, the  understanding and knowledge of a topic doesn't seem to impact the confidence or frequency of a poster. Claiming chaos is akin to voodoo is reckless and totally uneducated.

Keep trying to save face and change the initial conditions of your post (wink wink). When you're talking about physical determinism and modeling reality, assuming you're using the standard definition of chaos and not some vague definition which fits your post should not be too much to ask. Chaos is most often refereed to as measurement of disorder and entropy.

Again this boils down to the fact that you're discussing things confined to a field of real science without conforming to the norms of that field or understanding the basics.

Chaos is almost always defined as "disorder" or "randomness" the Webster definition is not the "go-to definition outside of physics" it's the exception to the rule. Which they even choose to elaborate on and correct in their little dictionary. No reasonable person would see chaos inherently being bound to an idea of things being governed and controlled.

I could care less if I'm right or wrong in this little meme thread, what I care about is the truth, trying to snake yourself out of someone correcting you is pathetic.

It takes me extra effort to do things I dislike seeing others do.

The responsibility of staying committed to a project, and fear that I might not be able to keep producing the same excellence I started out with. 

Also, lack of attention span and organizational skills can frustrate to the point where escapism and procrastination are more inviting.

These are all y'all's barriers, yo...  I be retreatin' behind mine!

We are getting to witness the crashing of unstoppable forces against immovable objects.  Very barrier-y.
