Comment on Yes, We Have Free Will. No, We Absolutely Do Not
FlowVoid@lemmy.world 1 year agoI am aware it’s real, but I’m not aware why you think it specifically applies to Mitchell.
Do you not like his conclusions? Because that would be confirmation bias - on your part.

Indeed it would be! Delighted! Perhaps you’re correct.

LOL, fair enough!
(But just in case anyone has doubts about Mitchell’s academic affiliation, rest assured that Trinity College, aka the University of Dublin, is the top research university in Ireland. Trinity College/University of Dublin is older than Harvard, and like Harvard was a seminary in the 1600s but has long since moved beyond that).

Tbf, the Ivy League schools were in the admissions bribery scandals. I’ve nothing against Trinity, ( but I’m leaving my comment for transparency). I’m probably just skeptical having been ruled by the Talibangicals since Gingrich.

Yes, I deleted my comparison to Harvard. Its most relevant peers are Oxford, Cambridge, and a few other schools in the UK, there is even a program for reciprocal granting of degrees.
