Is how it's supposed existence is demonstrated, right? They usually use this binary prompt-response scenario. Like "Think of a city. Now did you pick the the specific city or was it random?" And I think that's the wrong way to conceptualize it.
Hym "So, my problem with determinism (at least in this example of determinism) is that although I don't choose the specific city, I still activate the 'mode' that searches for city and I can choose not to do it and prevent a city from coming to mind OR I can misfire. It's like a hat with with slips of paper in it and, on the slips of paper, are the names of cities. Now, you can prompt me to think of 'city.' I can choose to reach into the hat. And only then do I get a random city. But what I DON'T get is 'Nissan' or 'helicopter' or 'banana' or 'dog.' I activate the mode that searches for city and I reach into the hat. See, as I have it conceptualized, thought exists in this nebulous, un-articulated format. So, to get language I need to activate some kind of process. And prompt response ISN'T THE SAME as what I'm doing when I'm monologing. I'm running that nebulous, un-articulated thought-matter through a lexicon that corresponds with my native language. But I am that which activates modes. I can can turn it on or off like a switch. It can also misfire while I'm not paying attention. So, yeah... I think it's a failure to properly conceptualize and a failure to compartmentalize."

Get the Frat World Problem mug.Similar to a first world problem, a frat world problem is a situation commonly or exclusively faced by fraternity members.
Can't believe we're drinking with no nicotine, such a frat world problem.
Sorry, I can't go to ADPi's social with you. Stacey is mad that her best friend's grand big's freshmen year roommate got ghosted by my big so she black-listed me. Total frat world problem.

Get the Frat World Problem mug.The chronic state of having painfully bunched up proverbial underwear, the all too common mindset in current times state of being that is eager to take offense to anything possible and taking everything the wrong way. Synonymous with the rampant chips on the shoulders of American citizens who prefer to constantly have some axe to grind, rather than accept that they don’t have the answers and that they cannot trust their leaders.
A) During COVID I was met with the problem bottoms of the malcontent public, who are irritated by my existence or standing near them. B) My former neighbor had serious problem bottoms regarding me, to the point that she called the police on me and lied to them. When I had to go to court, she beat her problem bottoms into the ground, paying a lawyer to drag out my court case and eventually being considered crazy by the entire New Orleans Municipal Court House.
