Russians withdraw billions from banks amid fears Putin could seize deposits

An increasing number of Russians are rushing to withdraw and move their funds from Russian banks before it is too late.

Their Genocidal Dictator is focused on hiding the problem rather than addressing it

>At the weekend, Putin sacked the chief economist of Russia’s second-largest bank after Russian media reported on his critical comments about the country’s economic condition and suggested Moscow would lose a “war of attrition” against Kyiv.

However, the collapse of the Genocidal Russian regime offers an opportunity to remake a major world country that is not based on the mass Genocidal slaughter of innocent people

Is the Iran war loss one of the most embarrassing military failure in history?

The world is watching Trump destroy America's reputation and America's future with Trump's Iran fiasco loss that just keeps getting worse and worse.

America is far more weaker now with nothing to show for it, and the wasted money has very real consequences.

Trump passed his BBB, which kills hundreds of thousands of innocent Americans from cuts to life critical programs. All because he argued that we don't have the money for it.

Instead of helping Americans, Trump just pissed away far more money on losing the Iran war, and still mass murdered Americans anyways.

Trump already has a death count of innocent Americans that is over 100X more deadly than Bin Laden was.

He has lost the respect for America from key allies, and enemies alike with nothing positive to show for America yet.

I can't imagine this will be good for US arms exports either. As Trump showed just how quickly America crumbled in Iran using those weapons.

There are definitely military failures with far worse casualties, but is the Iran war disaster one of the most embarrassing military failures in history?

The Evolutionary Creation of Consciousness and Free Will

We know of no instance where consciousness has existed without a brain. Changes in our brain state, or damage to our brains directly affects our conscious experience.

At the very basic level, we can confidently conclude that:

No brain = no consciousness.

However, consciousness and the required brain structure to support it wasn't present for all of evolutionary history.

Somewhere in our evolutionary past, there must have been organisms with no consciousness, followed by organisms with primitive consciousness, eventually leading to the conscious experience humans and animals have today.

Since there was a time before brains evolved, there necessarily existed a time before consciousness evolved. Regardless of whether consciousness first appeared 520 million years ago or much later, evolution had to produce it somewhere along our lineage.

A creature without consciousness can still react to its environment. We see organisms with no brains performing surprisingly complex behaviors today. They move toward food, avoid danger, solve simple problems, and adapt to changing conditions. But all of those behaviors do not allow for complex mental decisions that require an internal model of world for general world understanding.

The complex mental models that are the basis of our consciousness did not exist until they were evolutionarily created.

In addition, evolution didn't just produce consciousness—it produced a limited capacity for choice. In other words, whatever degree of free will humans possess must itself be an evolved trait.

There is also a clear evolutionary development on what our senses and consciousness control, and what they do not.

Most of the function of our bodies happens without our conscient control. Blood flow, food digestion, and internal regulation all occur without our direct conscious control. The information we receive and possible actions that we can take are all evolutionarily limited.

Given that both our available limited Conscious Choice options (the range of our free will), and the world modeling capabilities of our consciousness are evolutionarily derived, it means that both our consciousness and possible free will will continue to develop as our species continues to evolve.

If that idea is correct, then free will isn't something that suddenly appeared in humans. It would have evolved gradually, alongside increasingly sophisticated consciousness.

There is also a clear evolutionary development on what our senses and consciousness control, and what they do not.

What can you do with your definition of free will or determinism that you couldn't do otherwise?

The difference between near Determinism and full Determinism is all of life, evolution, and the function of the entire universe.

It makes it easier for humans to simply life through the inherently contradictory theory of "Determinism," but Determinists effectively give up on understanding life in exchange for simplified convenience.

In many ways, the people who chose to call themselves "Determinists" give up on understanding or changing the world in what is functionally a very Nihilist worldview.

The complex interaction of Systemic Dynamic pressures in our lives create the near Deterministic patterns that influence what choices are even possible for sentient creatures to be able to make, and which choices are more likely to be made.

Our human minds are driven to simplify large complex topics like this into easily understood concepts like Determinism or religion, but we sacrifice reality for convenience when we do.

For many, the knowingly false simplifications of religion or Determinism are "good enough," for them.

However, Artificial General Intelligence could allow humans to understand the near Deterministic Systemic Dynamic pressures that govern our choices, and what we have labeled as "free will" in ways that we could not before.

I think that this better understanding of our world could allow us to identify ways to reduce the waste and pollution that is pushing our species to extinction.

What can you do with your definition of free will or determinism that you couldn't do otherwise?

A Russian explains why Ukraine must win: "I want Ukraine to win because only its victory can free Russia from the disease it suffers from - its current government. Losing this senseless war could finally bring it down. I want my country to prosper, but it never will with these f*ckers in power."
