How one can prove a choice? Once you acted on this or that you simply cannot go back in time and choose something else.

If you cannot change what you choose, there was never a choice. There was only one path (previously defined OR randomly defined), the one that you “chose”.

“I’ve could chose different” is only fiction at this point.

Choice would be so hard to describe. All animals have can choose? (what brain function makes choice available for a being?) Are we “special” animals? (even worse)

Free will is an ilusion and I think believing otherwise is like believing in god. An attempt to justify our lives.

But yes, the experiment in question seems totally flawed.


Now you know.


Know what?


It's increasingly difficult to have "business" with the big tech. I lived many years anxious with my Google AdSense account. Recently it a was a Facebook Ads account banned without any clear reason, and a 5yr old Pinterest account too. When the algorithm decides, you are terminated. It just don't matter if you follow all the "TOS" rules.


I think either we do not have free will or we have some special brain that shapes probabilities that literally make the reality as we see.

And I always prefer to believe we are not special animals.

Still, as opposite as deterministic universe, we may do not have free will but the future is not determined. The future may be random at some scale, with most obvious sequence of events happening and yet not prohibiting different events to happen.


The BR Gov said the brazillian equivalent of USPS can do the job because they delivered letters for 350 yrs and everybody trust then (maybe it's because only them can do it by law).


Yeah, this is how we trust then:

It was so much better when politics & conspiratorial stuff was only Reddit's business.


I'm with you.

Saying WP is a shitty CMS is easy, but where is a good alternative? There is none.

Anyone can say anything about WordPress, but the FACT is that it's most used CMS, with a BIG community and market arround it.


Just loved the editions on items. :) Didn't like only FB login. Good UI and UX. And liked the ideia of pre-packed collections, will users be able to create their own collections like "movies with best car chasings"?

Good Luck with your mypileof, dougcorrea!


Hi rslonik,

Thank you for your feedback. We are implementing a email/passwd login. Users creating their own collections and sharing is one of next features to be implemented. And it will be possible to publish your own collections photos and follow friends. Please let an feedback using feedback form on site then we work to build the best tool for collectors! :)


I agree. Passion is the best force. And I think you are passionate for two or more ideas, then you picks one that makes some money.
