    What if some parts of the universe are deterministic, and some others aren’t? Or that is is deterministic sometimes, but sometimes it is not?

    Then, would it mean that initiating a chain of deterministic events that eventually causes suffering makes me responsible for this suffering?

    What if i choose to cut taxes because i think I’ll have more money, but it causes a series of events that end up increasing organised crimes? What if it was always the deterministic result of that choice, but the choice itself was not deterministic and I could have chosen not to do it?

    Today I witnessed a kid skiing through a totally-avoidable puddle of water for fun. My friend commented on how immature the kid was because he got all wet.

    Just at that instant, a ski resort employee on a snowmobile went through the exact same (totally avoidable) puddle.

    I confess that I would have done the exact same thing! Also, if i was a bird, i would totally slide down roofs for fun.

    In the context of Dawkins meme, this post is definitely a meme!

    idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning

    If we consider scientists imitating the behavior of other scientists (ex: leaving the us) combined with the social network post (signifying the symbolic meaning), it checks all the correct boxes to me!

    Would another peer review my analysis?
