Alright here's my pseudo-philosophical thought: I don't believe in truly 'free' will
In a traditional sense, at least. And this isn't any predestination stuff, I'm still pretty squarely an atheist. I was given this idea by a friend about a year ago and came around to it a few months back.
Basically, the crux of the idea is that everything that would guide your decisions is already set. Who you are as a decision maker is determined mostly by who you are as a person in the moment, built on past experiences and your personality, and grows mostly due to external stimuli, none of which you can really control. Your reaction to those external stimuli are based on the other factors (which, again, are out of your control). All this put together means you (and by extension, your actions) are more or less set in stone have fun with this or don't it's apparently not really up to us tldr |

This is basically just the same as people who believe that there are infinite universes with an infinite number of timelines, and that time being viewed as the present/past is just your perspective since everything is all happening at once. You’re experiencing a single timeline where all the outcomes have already been determined, and an infinite number of sharps are all on their own timelines making different decisions. I wouldn’t call it pseudointellectualism since there’s plenty of physicists who are working to prove this, but obviously it doesn’t have nearly as much conclusive evidence for it as something like evolution. Good post

i think this is another thing sam harris espouses to tie it into the other thread
i don't buy it but i get it. its mainly the contrarian in me. like FUCK THAT i'll stab myself right now. but then i think well maybe i was predestined to be that big of an asshole to stab myself to try and prove im in control of my DESTINY at which point i think hey, maybe. and then continue on with life

I don't know enough about multiple timelines to say how this relates to one specific timeline in those theories tbh. Glad you like it though Quote:
It's more of a semantics than philosophical argument Quote:
-personal - you're a still the negative attention lover who likes to antagonize this forum and start shit -past experiences - your personal and boarding experience, which informs your decisions, and in some ways you're the product of our own unavoidable decisions -external stimuli - I made this thread So what part of that has you freely choosing to come here and make this post? You're compelled to come here and say this because of factors beyond your current control |

Literally just that You have free time You're here and posting Everything that is setting you up to choose to do this is already set - the external parts (netcees and your employer being sick of the reminder that they made the mistake of hiring you) and the pieces of your personality that drive you to want to do that (desperately wanting the attention from us, good or bad) are already set. It's more a semantic thing, but the jist is, of course you'll be here posting. There was no other way the next two days could go |

These men aren't nazis, Donny. They're nihilists. Say what you want about the tenets of nationalist socialism, but at least it's an ethos.
These men believe in nothing.

Diode gets me

Every determining factor in any of those is based on stuff that has already happened or already set about you. You can't really have an effect on anything that you control because your reasons for acting a certain way are based on all that Like I've been saying, it's semantics Quote:
Really it's just a petty issue with how the phrase 'free will' is interpreted |

Nah I get what your sayin' bro...Sorry, like I made a decision to get a parent from my child's school out of a domestic violence relationship (& apparently she is now, which is great if that's the case) only to be completely shut out by her...If I had chosen not to I wouldn't of not only been hurt but would of regretted not steppin' in...That's like A plus B yes?

Wouldn’t you simply be able to up and move to a completely new environment and thereby change your external input sources thus changing anything that may have been predetermined by biological and internal factors? I see the argument that this very choice would also be predetermined, but... what if the choice was made simply to disprove your argument? What if it was made again and again? I think free will lies in that area where we legitimately could make decisions like this. I think we do all the time.
