buridan's ass yes ?
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: devil's advocate: can attempt to resist where-to-go paradox without making reference to authority if you admit that agent's free will can also include (while still counting as free will) "unconscious heuristics" ("water is priority"; but yes this is missing the point, i guess) / "random behaviour" (
buridan would disagree that this is "free will", i guess)
Framedragger: one $sadthing re aristotle is that he did all his logic in verbal syllogisms. which is ~fine, but omg did predicate symbol notation help... and it took a long while. same with middle age logic (
buridan et al, not an expert tho). guess knowing lating well helps a lot, tho :/
