People want to deeply believe this as true. I find it false because I see free will as an illusion. Majority of people think free will exists. Agreement on ethics cannot exist with this conflict because it inherently effects morality.
- wool_gather 8y agoWell, if no one has free will it doesn't really matter what you think, does it? Any agreement or disagreement must also be an illusion, because no one involved can do otherwise. In fact, "I find it false" is meaningless, since you have no alternative.
- bellerose 8y agoNo. What I see people describing as ethical is not correct when people have no choice. It's also not meaningless to live with knowing free will is an illusion. Hard to really reply to such a dismissive assertion.
