Free will is inevitable.
- dvh 5y agoI knew you would write that.
- andrei_says_ 5y agoFree from what? If one has will to choose based on a preference is the will free from having that preference? Was the preference chosen?
- loopz 5y agoFree from stepping into an obvious hole in front of you. Free to smash particles at high speed. It's all relative.
- andrei_says_ 5y agoI don’t remember choosing to acquire the preference to avoid stepping into a hole or falling down the stairs. I was born preferring to avoid danger and pain. It was never a free choice. I have not yet observed a choice that is independent or free.
- imtringued 5y agoIf this universe has free will, did everyone in this universe have the free will to decide to be born into their current life? Did they decide to be born with free will?
- loopz 5y agoWe struggle to define all of existence, so we have no frame of reference to speak for Existence. What happens before birth (or conception really) is a Mystery. I believe in anticipation though. A dog may bark in anticipation of owner returning home, before they come home or not. So you need a frame of reference to speak of. If it's all bounded outcomes are certain. But nothing pragmatic is ever perfectly bounded.. Notice that Free Will doesn't imply we always get what we want!
