kanzure"Much recent research suggest that willpower-- the capacity to exert self-control-- is a limited resource that is depleted after exertion."00:44
kanzure"We propose that whether depletion takes place or not depends on a person's belief about whether willpower is a limited resource."00:44
kanzuresay what now00:44
kanzurei guess this is the most direct way to tell someone that their belief in willpower is bullshit00:45
kanzure(i'm not sure if i have ever known someone to believe they had unlimited/infinite willpower who was also able to back it up with physical results)00:46
Utopiahguess that's a strict proof for The Secret (morning humour warning)00:46

jrayhawkThere are a lot of hormonal and energy factors that could be loosely thought of as 'willpower' being 'used up'02:41
jrayhawkBut, yes, 'will' is generally a label used in agency-oriented thought processes rather than rational thought processes and, as a result, gets associated with all manner of magical thinking.02:44
jrayhawkIt has plenty of semantic value in its ability to import rational concepts to nonrational minds, so it's actually fairly impulsive and ignorant to declare it worthless.02:46
jrayhawkI guess I should start using 'idea-oriented' rather than 'rational'02:48
jrayhawksince 'rational' and 'irrational' and 'nonrational' have unpredictable value implications02:49

kanzure(lee smolin)07:21
kanzurejrayhawk: but none of that helps elucidiate whether or not there is an actual physical basis to 'willpower' in any useful sense07:22

fenninteresting that modafinil.com is owned by david pearce15:56
fennone would have expected cephalon to file some trademark something or other, but maybe they prefer all the 'unofficial' info15:57
fennaccording to some anecdotal articles i've read, modafinil is basically synthetic willpower :\15:58

JayDuggerQuantumG--what's the origin of Greason's quote at 12' or so, the "fields of Pellinor" and the "the enemy in the East"?19:35

JayDuggerhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Pelennor_Fields19:41
JayDuggerMy sympathies, Kanzure.19:41
JayDuggerThat must be awkward and inconvenient. I dread doing the same for my parents.19:41
