Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

How Wisconsin Rigged The Vote in 2020 With Plans to do it Again This November

QUOTE:
Ryan Chew from The Elections Group emailed Claire Woodall-Vogg, Milwaukee’s former elections chief – Woodall-Vogg was recently removed from her post and replaced with her former deputy, Paulina Gutierrez, due to “internal” issues within the commission – basically admitting flat-out that Wisconsin’s ballot boxes were stuffed after the polls closed with fake ballots for Biden.

“D***, Claire, you have a flair for drama, delivering just the margin needed at 3:00 am,” Chew wrote in the email, which bore the subject line “Re: drama.” “I bet you had those votes counted at midnight, and just wanted to keep the world waiting!”

It turns out that Woodall-Vogg was done counting all legal ballots at 10:30 pm on Nov. 3, 2020. After that, she spent at least an hour and a half, based on Chew’s correspondence – and more like four and a half hours if it really took her until 3:00 am – stuffing the ballot box for Biden.

And the counting continues until there is enough counted by the expert counters.

The administrative state has become the 'gods' of medicine. The doctors now follow protocols mandated by the state, with nothing outside the state, or you are de-doctored by the state approved boards. Covid should have made that clear.

A burger represents your violent past... a soy burger represents your castrated future, with lettuce of course.

France on the brink of a financial meltdown... the California model does not work anywhere. Authoritarianism does not work whether called marxism, fascism, progressivisms, socialism, or any generic dysfunctionalism.

Behind the scenes the Democrats are scrambling to find a way to replace Biden. They are so desperate that they are even considering Kamala, god save us! But the time is short. It would not surprise me that by Monday morning Biden is officially withdrawn from the race. If they convince/buy off Biden then it will be a done deal but if not it will be a messy process. But if their only choice is to run Kamala then maybe they will just be ridin with Biden. If they do choose to stay the course then they behind the scenes coup will begin in earnest to make sure that Trump can never reverse what they have done or expose their crimes. They will tie him up with litigation and palace uprising and the deep state will circle the wagons. It will be the roughest 4 years in our history. One more thing: I hope Trump picks a really good candidate for VP. My gut feeling is that if elected Trump will not serve his four years. Assassination, lawfare, whatever, Trump will not serve out his term. He is too dangerous to the deep state.

If Crick is right about "free will" then He could not possibly be "right" !! Prove me wrong.
#4 LA Dave on 2024-07-11 10:43 (Reply)
Crick had no choice but to make his statement. Whether his statement is true or not has absolutely nothing to do with him. This is no reflection of his reasoning, because if free will does not exists, he cannot possess any...he is merely one instance of a predetermined sequence of events.
#4.1 DeGaulle on 2024-07-11 14:37 (Reply)
So are you saying he doesn't have free will and wrote what was prescribed for him to write OR that he does have free will and wrote a fiction to deceive.
#4.1.1 LA Dave on 2024-07-11 19:48 (Reply)
I think that the former is the implication of his assertion. However, he seems an intelligent man, too intelligent to accept something so self-negating, so to me the most plausible explanation is malice to deceive the gullible.

Black Smoke Billowing Out Of Rouen Cathedral In France

QUOTE:
A 12th-century medieval cathedral in Rouen, northern France, was evacuated Thursday after black smoke billowed from the scaffolding around its spire.

. . . "I turn around and I see the cathedral spire, the tarpaulin which was protecting the restoration work, which was burning, big flames, black smoke," eye-witness Patrick Waeselynck told BFM television, who was eating at a nearby cafe at the time of the fire broke out.

Just an unfortunate accident doncha think?

In the story of Watson/Crick it is the story of James Watson that is the most interesting.

IMMIGRATION control is very doable as a nearby neighbor clearly demonstrates. Send them back.

Immigration control is easy. Getting your government to do it is not easy. This is planned. They intend to destroy the middle class and replace the voters and the citizens so that the country can be easily controlled. The New World Order is at war with us and they have spent the last 50-60 years dumbing us down so that we wouldn't figure it out in time to do something to stop them. Imagine for a moment that you live in a world, in a country where 51 of your Intel leaders lied to you to steal and election knowing their lies would be exposed but they also know you will do nothing about it. Do you really believe you have a chance to come out of this when they are done? They intend to break you or kill you and they no longer care that you might be able to see them for what they are.

Free will - We know that some of our actions are more constrained than others. In fact, most of our actions might be mostly constrained! Yet that fact illustrates that some actions are freer than others. It is a technicality to worry that it is only free-ish will at that point. It becomes an angels-dancing hypothetical at that point.

As for the irony about Crick's own free will, Kierkegaard strove to disprove predestination...and secretly believed he was predestined to be the one to do it. He caught his own joke before others caught it for him. It is not that such logic games are not serious. They teach us much. Yet we always have to keep in mind that they are of necessity one step removed from reality.

If you consider free will and consciousness as sensations, that resolves the conundrum.
