I agree that it's not a dichotomy; freewill is some aspect or extension of the machine that is the brain. I think having a thorough knowledge of the phenomena of emergence is key when thinking about mind as a subject; it's like trying to catch smoke with your hands. It's there but you just can't get hold of it.

Right.

That falls in the extreme range 10nm -121nm) and is highly-ionising: read very dangerous without the right training and protective techniques. Ionising radition causes atoms to shed electrons, causing acute physical damage by killing cells and quite possibly cancer by altering the DNA. It is so energetic it gets used up ionising airmolecules in the upp I found this: Would the fact it requires high vacuum put it out of the reach of amateur science as well as the safety aspect WRT to it being ionising radiation (10nm-124nm; extreme UV range)?

They are, The former is used by Americans and the latter the British. i missed it out but i'm not sure if they add it themselves.

Yeah, I forgot they say "resume".

Now, that's Yankee talk.

Do they handle some administration as well, working with records? Why on a resume but not on a CV? If they do then, certainly, that woud be more accurate and more impressive on an employer.

Computer sales assistant or shop sales assistant. In that role you are actively assisting someone to buy something which involves some sales methods. It may involve handling money as well. If you just stood behind or sat at a cash register, not offering advice/promoting goods as an integral part of the job you would be a shop assistant. Both titles could mean the same thing but if you entered 'shop assistant' in your CV when you have experience of promoting products and advising, a prospective employer may assume you just worked at the checkout.

Humour aside, big words, used appropriately, save space and time by compacting what you are trying to say into fewer words. This is why research articles are so full of them, because the authors are trying to cram as much information as they can in the minimum number of pages.This can filter down into discussion boards like this one because quite a few here do, and handle, that kind of work. The general idea in science, which necessitates big words, is to be as explanatory as possible but in as few words as possible i.e. be concise.

I was being sardonically humorous there. Sales people are important to any business in getting it going and keeping it going.

Talking about grinding gears and football: when Maradona handballed that goal and got away with it I wanted to kill him. I sulked for ages afterwards... along with a few million others. There was holes in the pavement (sidewalk) where I trod.

It's complicated. I'm in line with Strange on the meaning here in the UK. A salesman is an in-your-face person trying to to trick you into buying something.

I need to go further back to an older system image. I use Macrium Reflect. I have a virgin image which I want to leave until last because it requires the most updates.

GR falls apart as you approach zero because, IIRC, infinities starting popping up, so a new theory is needed that involves QT, which doesn't exist yet.

This is a current British magazine:

Yeah, i remember 'soccer' was used here a lot as a kid. I seem to remember a mag or comic by that name as well.

If I can articulate it better at some point, and with evidence, I will. I can't at the moment. Every thing is chemical reactions. The difficulty is describing how self-consciousness and freewill emerges from them

I don't know. I'm impressed as well.

Right. This about sums it up but that little bubble is not trivial because it distinguishes us from just about all other organisms.

I don't disagree with anything you've said and the vast majority of it doesn't require conscious intervention. but there are elements of our processing that can make decisions 'on the fly' and act against, or ignore, our automatic parts; an over-ride function in certain situations. I don't see freewill as a distinct ability with it's own wiring in a box, so to speak, but as a continuous extension of the autonomic functions. That's a nice analogy for neuroplasticity.

Yes. She initiated the "Me" mentality, of which, much is still in evidence today, if not more. I found a copy of that bit:

Do you know Italian? Do you mean like this Google translation? Click the speaker icon. https://translate.google.com/#auto/en/broglie

i might not be in the flow of where this conversation is now - I'm jumping in. Whether we feel a particular instinct, emotion etc to compel us to act a certain way, the fact that we can countermand that compulsion is an example of freewill; the ability to over-ride our personal instinct, however it is made up.Freewill is, in essence, partly the ability to over-ride hard-wired instructions. We can't over-ride everything but the fact that we can some is evidence that it exists, I think. We may not be able to control what comes next but we can decide whether to act on on it. We have a distinct oversight on the internal messages that we receive and what to do with them.

According to Evo, one of the scientists on Physics Forums, whose French, says the most accurate, probably, is as you have put it it but with a slightly longer 'eee' emphasis on the end. As in Da-broyEEE (accented emphasis on the end) Note, not Da-broy-yee. It apparently is Italian in origin or derived from it. Given it's Italian origin, here's two versions. One French and an Italian. The French one is "Da-broy" and the Italian is "Da-broy-yer". https://forvo.com/word/de_broglie/
