Penpot is a better option here.

Sample size too small to be statistically significant…

A definitely not l lawyer ,but also though that, not knowing/understanding a law usually does not shield you from said law, right? And doesn’t the ruling mainly clarify what the law actually “means”?

If that is the case I could still try actions made in the past, no?

This sounds like a great step in the right direction. Would this have any effect retrospectively?

I remember the powerball one and referenced in conversation just yesterday. I did have it saved too.

And I missed I was in Lemmy.ca :)

I like how you refer to BC and NS in the context of confusion communication, as if that is universally known.

Not sure if you actually wondered what Xing means, but in case you did I think is X-ing as in cross-ing. Similar to Xmas, is Christmas which I think Americans relate to the cross (even though the name of Jesus does not relate to the cross).

I’a very much not universally understandable m, whereas the European is at least decipherable.

Yes, I think you have a point that for it to be an illusion “something” has to perceive it.

I also think your reflection on consciousness being a some sort of process is interesting. Is it a “machine” process where one input+state always results in the same output? Regardless of the answers implication on agency and choice, the mystery is still that I feel aware. I cannot speak for you, but I think you’d tell me the same, even if you cannot prove it to me.

Regarding the emergence I think one aspect could be scale, and said emergence might not be binary. I listened to a Lex Friedman(think what you will about him) podcast episode with Michael Levin from Dec 3 which talks about things along these lines. Not directly related perhaps, it might be more geared towards intelligence, but you might also find it interesting.

I read it as consciousness being more of a “side effect”, rather than the thing a controls actions and “making choices”. So consciousness would then be more of a passive effect than driving change.

In that sense the illusion would be that consciousness has any agency, when it is instead a passive experience, a perception of control.

I also think those recreational spaces may be raised from street level. The perspective is not not meant to show any of that. Could be grocery stores etc. below it as well.

Well, go on a tell us the real story then.
