Au contraire! https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/science-choice/201712/choose-your-feelings. Emotions, as I already stated, may mitigate but not eliminate one's responsibilities for one's acts as both your examples show. The offending party in both examples is not acquitted; a lesser...

The “let-states-regulate-capitalism”, would be delightful, I'm sure.

Good. I look forward to your follow-up thread on this FTC ruling after the inevitable challenges are litigated.

Gee ... do you think prejudices might be in play at the FTC? And under Biden all other prejudices disappeared? You did not explain in your post the limited scope of your search. Limited searches often find just what the searcher is looking for and not much else.

Did your research find this article? https://www.forbes.com/sites/aldenabbott/2024/04/23/ftc-rule-barring-non-compete-agreements-likely-will-fail/?sh=23b5d9116193 The proposed rule also failed to cite FTC staff economist John McAdams, who had demonstrated that there is no research consensus on...

Sorry, but the above just appears to me to be word salad. Why don't you start by concisely stating your position on free will and give a principled argument in support. Those are the premises of the OP. He responded to the post where I challenged the testability of his premises but he did not...

Suppressing wages? No evidence of that. Moonlighting with competitors? You mean agreeing not to simultaneously work for the company's competitor? That's nice? You mean justice is nice but irrelevant? I sense extreme prejudice here.

And comforting to the one whose proprietary info is thereby protected. Employees under a non-compete can still move but not to a direct competitor. Providing a competitor with info gained solely because of the former employee's intimacy in his prior employer's business is unjust. And no one...

OK. Why not? Externalities may influence but they do not determine one's acts. Even though influenced, one can, and often does, deviate from the received values, opinions, morals, etc. of others. "My parents, teachers and others told me to never steal but I just wanted that thing soooo...

Yes. American contract law.

? Can you clarify or provide a real-life sample of such a contract?

Really? Do you not see your internal contradiction? The determinist believes that he cannot will any other way. If you are to be consistent then you would post only in the passive voice: "I am willed by things I do not control or fully understand ..." Yes, that is nonsense. The premises of...

That's a bit muddled ... well, no, it's a lot muddled. As one who is only acting as Bradski's apologist, let's see what comes out of the horse's mouth. I'm sure he'll have something to post. Yes, yes .... here it is: You did, as the self-governing agent of your own acts. No, only with those...

Apparently, you have never attempted to enforce an NDC.

Nope. The contract does just that. ? That's exactly what the non-compete contract does. Did you do any research at all? Absent an employment contract, a non-compete contract requires that the company provides sufficient economic consideration to the employee who enters into the agreement.

Silly ... just silly. All contracts are void at expiration. More silliness. Nope. Suggest you update yourself on contract law. You are misinformed.

? "He used" informs us that he is the agent, the efficient cause, and his free will is the formal cause of his moral acts. Exactly where do one's "preferences and inclinations" exist? Answer: in the soul of the person (the locus of reason (conscience) and free will). The determinist is...

So ... now free will is an emotion? Odd that you, as one who is quite often informed emotionally rather than rationally, to claim the truth of one's feelings. OK, then like Smokey Robinson, I Second That Emotion. Nope. I would not have broken into your house. The burglar decides (free will)...

Non-compete agreements protect proprietary information that an employee gains as a result of employment at the company. Non-disclosure agreements often accompany non-competes but are more difficult to enforce. Nevertheless, the non-competes are still contracts requiring a quid pro quo. In...

Let's do the math. You say that 12 million trans people are probably "uncomfortable" using the facilities designated for their sex. We say doing so makes 300 million non-trans probably "uncomfortable". True, you can parse the ratio in many ways but doing fairly so still leaves one with the...
