Free will doesn't exist

[Devilinurear]

We may never know

 

[Amo Husserl]

This simple and understandable example is going to fly over every single intellectuals head.

If there is no free will, then the word proactive wouldn't be in the dictionary. The abortion debate showed that people hate being responsible for their own actions.

 

[Son Goku]

I could choose not to PAWG but I don't. That's all the evidence of "free will" I need.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Lets imagine they proved that free will doesn't exist in a way that totally satisfies everyone with the explanation. From the nerds to the simpletons, religious to hedonists - everyone is now in agreement that they are little more than sentient meat puppets.

What happens next on The Coli? What about you personally? How would this make you think or would there be no point because you won't be doing anything other than reading the script that is fed and fooling yourself into believing you thought of it as you stroll around this big ass Truman Show in outer space whilst being pulled by invisible strings.


Whats going on inside your head as you consider this? Remember, for the sake of the thought experiment, everyone agrees with the proof that free will doesn't exist. What are the implications for the human race if this was proven to be the case?

Nothing... People will go on living life. Actually, people would probably go out their way to PROVE there still was free will, by doing whatever the fukk they wanted........

But yea... All knowing God and free will cannot both exist

Did some higher power make me just type that? Was it fate? Destiny?

No..i typed it because i chose too

Free will, bytch

Your inane reaction had nothing to do with having free will.

Its not possible to not have some level of free will. In this physical realm we have options,which we at least have the illusion of choosing. We would continue to move foward as long as the illusion exist. Obviously it would create moral dillemas for religious people,as well as the criminal justice system.



Also it would matter who is controlling us. If its just God controlling everything as an omnipotent force,I dont think much would change on this physical plane.



If we find out there are individuals controlling each of us like a video game. And these individuals are watching us. I think that would completely change things. Cant tell you why it would be different,but it would

In this scenario, there's no freewill so whatever is predestined is what I'd be thinking Complexion.


More specifically I probably wouldn't care too much and keep it rocking. Probrably thinking that's cool and all but imma keep it rocking fam. Focus on my goals and dreams.

You can't reduce the human condition to belief or scientific analysis when neither are absolute.

 

[badhat]

If free will doesn't exist, then it's meaningless to create a thread convincing people that free will doesn't exist, as the intended audience's belief in free will is arrived at deterministically.

The "illusion" of free will is still a level of free will. The problem in this scenario is that even after being told free will is an illusion. The humans never stop to consider if everything is an illusion.


If everything as we know it is an illusion. That would just mean illusion is "God". And that would make what we consider "illusion" the new real.

Foh with your fake ass socrates philosophical bullshyt

Your inane reaction had nothing to do with having free will.

You wack, you twisted, your girl's a ho
You broke, the kid ain't yours and everybody know
Your old man say you stupid, you be like, "So?"
"I love my baby mother, I'll never let her go"





Dont blame me for that comment. I had no say so there. It wasnt me, or my free will.... just some innate reaction that i couldnt control

Exactly. Aquire knowledge, put your best effort out there, and see what happens.

Typing the words and having humans believe it is two different things

I’m sure god could come down and perform miracles and half the earth would be like “hmmmm I need more evidence” and “I don’t give a fukk, I’m still getting some p*ssy tonight”

We have free will, but we also have a blueprint. Deviate too far and you'll likely suffer.
