  I don’t think that defeats it at all, it just changes the direction of the conversation and is as deeply philosophical as the first. Some might say life goes on with or without free will so it doesn’t matter, other say that the a societal acceptance of the absence of free will removes the burden of guilt, and could reshape society in very profound ways, so of course it matters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have a shamefully dark question for firefighters. I'm sorry but I'm just too curious to not ask... It's about the smell and how that affects life.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not speaking from experience with the firefighters side here, but I do think it come’s down to the ick factor of smell is so much stronger than the yum factor.
  Smell is how we know if something is safe to eat, so if its off even a bit, that jumps to the peak of our attention.

  Usually if you burn something a little bit, that’s the only smell you notice.
