There is No Such Thing as Free Will
- api 10y agoI have yet to see a popular science article that discusses concepts like consciousness and free will that isn't junk. We can't even define these things in any scientific way so how can we talk about them in this context?
- jospoortvliet 10y agoYeah the article points to that, talking about different ways of seeing and describing free will. In the end, the focus of the article isn't on the philosophical concept but it's impact on society and it does a fine job describing three different views: understanding that there is no free will is a disaster; it is just fine, beneficial even if we just explain it properly; and we just redefine it and all is as it was.
