Obviously you have drunk the appropriate number of IPAs to make such a ludicrous statement. Well done!

I’m currently having lunch; lobster bisque soup, grilled rockfish sandwich, and an IPA to wash down my Free Will in ordering such an excellent lunch.

Sorry. An ex-cabbie, ex-statistician, ex-poker player cannot be at odds about everything with an ex-cabbie, ex-mathematician, ex-poker player.

To save some electrons, I won't post it in your blog, but you should consider being a professional writer next. I spent a couple of years writing for a newspaper. Didn't enjoy it, but since it seems that you are mostly endeavoring to plagiarize my life, it seems like a good idea.

All your questions answered in this video. Stranger brought into a stupid universe versus a child of God. There's a third option!

If you get into a car to go to the supermarket to buy groceries. Couldn't the groceries be equally looked upon as the cause for making you get into your car?

Compatibilism is the word I was looking for. Hume was a compatibilist.

You can drink all the coffee you want but you can't want more than you want.

Is there a specific word for the sense of superiority one feels when one manages to not engage in a pointless political discussion?

I hear "blue light" tanning salons are all the rage in Sweden these days.

@ Brian - I think it is an elaborate conspiracy; it is, after all, a Pentagon Project. No doubt when successful it will be used for nefarious purposes.

Excellent question. I dismiss Lastcard's input as just too far below par.

I do recall that, in science, we used to make up descriptive words/terms using Latin or Greek roots. See link below-

Both is good. And I bet a bottle of booze that you could come up with an excellent one. You Limey's are good at that. Go for it. I'm too busy being a sarcastic ass and wanker.

I would, but I'm too busy searching for a Key Lemma.

My selection would be 'satisfaction' but, if I have the time, I always enjoy that type of talk bec I can troll the opposition as hard as I can and see if it causes a stroke or heart attack or some form of unendurable mental distress.
