Reminds me of that anon who wanted to use a (really big) nuclear reactor to flood Death Valley with desalinated seawater to recreate the prehistoric lake that used to exist there.

>Since it's pretty well established that mental processes correspond to physical states of the brain the existence of "free will" would mean that a mysterious (you) outside of the laws of physics can i fluence the material world but only in your brain

> It is purely fabricated "golden age" mythmaking
And just like that, you expose the true motivating factors for your baffling drivel. You are lashing out in defense of your civilization-destroying handlers.

Why shouldn't he invoke your cult leader if you are literally and directly shitting out Malthusian propaganda?

>the contents of the box are set to what you do now.
According to the problem statement, they are set before the problem is posed. In other words, they are set based on whether or not you are smart enough to realize your subsequent reasoning has no causal relationship to what's in the box. Anyway, the funny thing about this problem is that it highlights the fact that being mentally deficient really does lock you into a perfectly predictable irrational pattern of actions that no amount of patient and logically rigorous explanation can snap the mongoloid out of.

>You still haven't provided any physical real world corollary
Why do I need to provide one? If you're too much of a driveling imbecile to understand abstract concepts, even if they're babby-tier ones like 2D points and planes, why are you on this board?

Dumb drone.

>Why would highlighting false information limit freedom of information?
It wouldn't. It would just create a corporate-governed Ministry of Truth that will be used to program you and your likes to act against the interests of the rest of the population.

This is a thread about biology, not codemonkeys and their toys, anon.

Well done, mouth breather.

>learn about the basics of neural networks.
Brains are not "neural networks", mouth breather. Your understanding of the brain is 80 years out of date.

>you make imaginary strawmemes in my head look dum!!

>Notice I didn't elaborate on it? There's a reason for that. I was nudging an astute OP in a different direction and trying to avoid getting into a tangle with this board of post-2016 midwits, but as I should've known, said midwits can't even grasp basic distinctions in real analysis -- some don't understand what "infinity" means to a real analyst, some don't understand what "infinite sum equals" means to a real analyst, some don't understand what "converges" means to a real analyst, and some don't even appear to understand the very fundamentals of what a "limit" means to a freshman doing Calc I.

How do you measure a "mechanism", mouth breather?
