Predeterminism is the correct term for what's going on. Research Einstein, Hawking, Husserl and Heidegger on that. Research "consciousness lag". Listen to Roger Castillo, he breaks that down into quite simple descriptions.
You are a biological automaton, predetermined by your biological and social preconditions, i.e. programmed. Everybody is, all the time, right now, e.g. me typing and reading this and having the taste of coffee in my mouth.
Your thoughts are a phenomenon inside of your consciousness, i.e. you are not thinking (no one is), you are that what is aware of all phenomena as it occurs to you. Your thoughts and feelings are just another phenomena. As soon as you are aware of anything, it already happened/manifested. If all you can be aware of is in the past, try to argue about free will. The present is an infinitely small border between future and past.
Everybody can figure all of this out by simple observation.
It's not so difficult.
- RcouF1uZ4gsC 6y ago> Everybody can figure all of this out by simple observation. There is no figuring out in a predeterminism world. Whether or not you were programmed to accept a belief is really all that matters. "Figuring out" implies some sense of free will in that you are weighing the evidence and making a choice. If there is no free will, there is no making a choice. Basically, if there is no free will, it is pointless arguing about it since all arguments are pre-determined and all responses to arguments are pre-determined.
- polyacr 6y agoYes, you're completely right. Thank you for pointing that out. That was poorly phrased on my side. Whether one will figure these things out or not is indeed a consequence of the underlying biological and social conditioning, i.e. inherent to the predetermined circumstances of our lives.
