How to ensure I never ever get a kidney stone?
Anonymous
Kidney Stones = Calcium Oxalat The obvious ways to reduct the chance of getting them is to consume few Calcium and Oxalat heavy foods. Calcium is mostly found in milk products and Oxalat is mostly found in Spinach and Rhubarb. Evade those foods and drink a lot and you will be safe.

Even if we suppose that free will exists, what mechanisms would allow it to operate? Neurons firing in the brain in patterns predictable by physics, past experiences, genetics, and randomness aren't free will. Even a soul, if such a thing existed, wouldn't allow free will because you didn't choose that either.
Is free will literally just magic?

>>13349324 You can choose to act in the pursuit of some end even if you don't want it in that moment. I'm a depressive retard, there are many days and longer periods when I don't want to do any or all of what I should be doing and wanted to do the day before. There was a time when I would just not do it because of that lack of contemporary want, but I can also make the choice to act on those wants while they're temporarily not there. I know that I will go back to thinking the things I'm doing are worthwhile, so I act on them despite not feeling them.
You can try to phrase that as "ah so you must have 'truly' wanted it even then!" but that's unfalsifiable nonsense. I'm quite aware of the mental experience of having a want/desire, I can also identify the lack of that desire. You will just end up playing a game of redefining anything I say as "actually" being a want when under normal meaning of the concepts you'd never call them the same as innate desires. Yes if you redefine everything as being a "desire" then you can't act without desire, I'm not sure what that is supposed to demonstrate other than you're good at playing word games which trip up sound reasoning.

Scientifically speaking, why have I always community-hopped on the internet over and over again? Different places, adapting well to the norms and discussion, culture, what have you, in those communities, leave, and then repeat? I'm always accepted by the people in the community, without any pushback, no one knows I'm actually 'new', but I do, and that always keeps me at arms length, I can never fully be a part at least in my own mind which is why I always end up leaving eventually without a trace. What causes this impulse? I feel like it's uniquely modern. Is this the right place to ask such a question?
