Free Will, Quantum & Orchestrated Objective Reduction

This is how I’d feel if you were gone
These eyes can’t see all you hold
I’d give my heart to you but it’s already yours


Walking down the street bored
Billboards haunt my free form
Mastermind like ben horn
The citys in an all out flame storm

Sipping on your drink I feel it, lord
Tugging on my heartstrings b sharp
I wanna see that dream be yours
Sugar rush on your tongue, touch me once oh I’m never done

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's story "The Lottery In Babylon" which can be found in Collected Fictions. The narrator of the story, a citizen of Babylon, discusses the complex history of the Lottery, the Company that administers it, and the multiple philosophical interpretations of both of these. The Lottery ends up being the centrally determining institution in this community, and involves complex infusions of chance into its society and its workings.

Jorge Luis Borges, The Lottery In Babylon - Sadler's Lectures

The provided Podcast comprises biographical information and an analysis of Pierre-Simon Laplace's contributions to theoretical physics and mathematics, specifically exploring the relevance of his work—including his concepts of determinism and probability, and mathematical tools like the Laplace transform—to modern quantum technology. The Podcast details how Laplace's ideas, though developed before the advent of quantum mechanics, are foundational to current quantum computing, cryptography, and quantum field theory. His interdisciplinary approach, bridging mathematics, physics, and philosophy, is highlighted as a model for contemporary scientific collaboration. The analysis also contrasts Laplace's deterministic worldview with the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics, examining the ongoing influence of his mathematical methods on quantum algorithms and simulations.

Gilles Deleuze - The Method of Dramatization

Delve into the complex topic of free will, exploring its philosophical and scientific dimensions. Discuss the illusion of free will, the constraints imposed by physical reality, and the implications of quantum physics on our understanding of choice and determinism. The dialogue navigates through concepts such as causality, entropy, and the famous Schrödinger's cat thought experiment, ultimately questioning the nature of reality and whether free will truly exists or is merely an illusion.

Are you a born criminal? Is genocide ever justified? Is meritocracy a ‘garbage’ concept? What are the entitlements that you have by virtue of being a human being? Do rights exist because the State exists, & vice versa? Are rights sometimes anti norms? Do nomadic and sedentary societies think differently of rights? Are rights always a product of struggle? Are you 42 and a communist? Are all rights inter-related? Can the right to dignity be limited? What gets transmitted across generations? Are the normative social structures of the past in our prefrontal cortex today? Does reservation come under the framework of equality? What are a prisoner’s rights? Does it suit us to have certain sections of people stigmatised? Must social, political & economic rights go hand in hand? Can societies be changed without economic incentives? Is West Africa still scarred by slave trade? Can historical recompensation be done forever? Do you have a present bias? When are gender points a good idea? What makes rights effective - is this scale dependent? Why is Geneva Convention not always enforceable? Which rights are non-derogable? &, what are the rights of the next generation today? SynTalk thinks about these & more questions using ideas from economics (Prof. Sujoy Chakravarty, JNU, New Delhi), history (Prof. Ajay Dandekar, Shiv Nadar University, Delhi-NCR) & law (Prof. Arvind Narrain, NLSIU, Bangalore).

#TEOR (The Effects Of Rights) --- SynTalk

Every action has its causes and conditions, but my will cannot be reduced to simple physical or social drives or neural processes. Everyone tells me to stay away from you, but I chose You – because I am free to love you.

I Chose You
