Determinism and free will are both stupid concepts. Much more relevant question is what you'll have for lunch tomorrow.

We are (mostly) human beings with very limited scope of physical and temporal existence. In our narrow slice of everything, we have processes that can said to be predetermined, but also some we are able to affect. In the end you just wanna know about a deterministic course of events early enough to use your free will to get the upper hand.

In hindsight, every mistake I made was deterministic and couldn't have been avoided, while every success was made possible by my choice of doing the right thing at the right time. This keeps my ego afloat.

If we define magic as "shit that isn't understood well enough to be modeled", brain is clearly affected by both magical and physical world. That doesn't mean there isn't any underlying principles we can eventually figure out, I'm just saying we are not there yet and it would be foolish to think we are.

If you squint your eyes, you may see the Apple of Discord inscribed on the backside of your iphone.

All my iPhone has on the back is a smoldering crater, about 5 millimeters deep and weeping stinky yellow goo. It makes finding a case that can survive a real pain.

You should try to return it, sounds like a factory defect.

A sharp increase of weather anomalies that won't fit in the wildest climate change models will sweep over Oceania, causing doomsday cults all over the planet to gain power. Jesus was reportedly sighted in the middle east and was declared as an endangered species. Trophy hunters from everywhere start flowing to Syria.

I'd bake a cake if I didn't have to wipe it off my face afterwards.

How about unpolitical memes? Ones that say something like "I always eat my toenails while showering" and then somebody shares it, because "this is so me". Usually it's something abut depression, anxiety or OCD, things that are good to bring to the public view, and difficult to handle or explain, without anecdotes or humor memes provide.

Still, I feel like there's something creepy in the part person goes "this is so me" and presses the share button. Like it digs the mental illness deeper into their identity. Or maybe it helps them express the way they feel bad, making them feel better. I wouldn't know, I'm not into browsing depression memes.

I know nothing about forum tech, but is it possible to redirect them to another forum? Preferably one you are not fond of.

For very long I was afraid of looking at nazi shit. For I felt that my views were so feeble and my mind so easily altered, that just browsing through their shit could convert me into a genocidal maniac. That meme from Niechehszhhehhrese about fighting monsters and becoming one kept echoing inside my brain.

So I let the secondhand knowledge about my enemies from friendly memes build my view about them, never getting them, never realizing what is actually going on inside their heads. You don't really get how dangerous nazis are if you just assume they are idiots, don't you.

If it's true that the memes are no longer able to convert people, best way to build up immunity gotta be taking a swim in a pool of shit. The mechanic behind reactionary memes are basically the same, but disagreeing, you'd be much more likely to spot the hooks.

I could also be wrong in a really horrific way.

What I've noticed is that consuming enemy memes makes my brain turn on. My brain is so much more critical when I know beforehand that I'm looking for something I disagree with. I think it has also to do with the context and the state of mind I'm in, since I have to go outside my bubble to even find enemy memes.

Friend memes tend to pop up while I'm just trying to relax and figure out what people I know have been up to lately. They strike when I'm comfortable and defenseless. I don't examine them as they pass by, why should I? They seem to be in line with my worldview.

HOW ABOUT WE GO BACK TO WRITING LETTERS TO EACH OTHER BY HAND AND USING ROTARY PHONES AND WATCHING THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW, NOW THERE WAS A GOOD SHOWMAN.

Are you saying we can beat the fascists by going back to the Good Old Days?

I think slow communication is stupid and for smart people. Most of us didn't know how to read quite recently. Meanwhile everyone's getting stupider, because world around them is getting smarter. We are here to process tiny abstracted crumbs of information and pass them on. Real thoughts are happening waaay over somewhere else.

Old people I like need to stop dying today damnit.  Old people I don't like can continue to do so, and they better.

Try connecting their hearts to world nuclear arsenal in a way that the moment they stop it's boomtime. Be very public about this and medical researchers around the world will work their asses off to provide immortality to your loved ones.

Well... who won?

So is this too a toxic internet community that will ruin my mental health?
