Goof. Biochemist. Swing dancer and rock climber. Joke terrier and dance monkey. Loyal friend. Procrastinator. Fond of my special places in other people's yards.
Whirlpools, Part II
(blog entry)
Here is the question that launched my interest in grad school: does randomness exist? To some degree, it's a silly matter of definitions. Think about the premise. Randomness means: events to which we cannot ever (in the quantum dynamical sense)...

Free will vs. Determinism, part I.
You have free will, so far as you know. There you are, thinking “I can do whatever I choose to do”. Everything you think about who you are is roughly divided into two categories: 1) the history that has infl...

Macha Loves Bedhead is aural porn. Despite getting up in 5 hours for a joyously grueling climb day, I keep hitting repeat. The sounds light me up. It's like being on the receiving end of that rare, arrestingly naked look wo...

Randomness means: events to which we cannot ever (in the quantum dynamical sense) or cannot reasonably (in the deterministic sense), attribute cause. If the former, then yes randomness truly exists. If the latter, no.
The latter interpretation (randomness does not in principle exist, but we lack the means to detect cause) c...

Free will vs. Determinism, part I.
You have free will, so far as you know. There you are, thinking “I can do whatever I choose to do”. Everything you think about who you are is roughly divided into two categories: 1) the history that has influenced your choices and 2) a mysterious and unpredictable source, which you perhaps define as quintessentially “you”, that makes you who you are.

Macha Loves Bedhead is aural porn. Despite getting up in 5 hours for a joyously grueling climb day, I keep hitting repeat. The sounds light me up. It's like being on the receiving end of that rare, arrestingly naked look women sometimes give. I'm entirely present.
