- adam12 4y agoIf free will isn't an illusion.
- baremetal 4y agowhat benefit is gleaned from thinking free will is an illusion?
- dkersten 4y agoNot beating yourself up over past mistakes.
- MrTortoise 4y agobut you are saying you dont have a choice about that i dont really see how you can say free will is an illusion so you shouldnt do something. Thats a direct contradiction
- adam12 4y ago> Thats a direct contradiction No, if free will is an illision, then even "choosing" to believe in it and "choosing" to let things go is an illusion. It would apply to every "choice" we make.
- baremetal 4y agoif only it were so simple to side step personal responsibility. just call it illusory. to what effect?
- tuyiown 4y agoI often see this reaction when people suggests that you should care too much about your past decisions since you can't ever imagine control everything. It's about _past_ decisions, nobody says you shouldn't care about doing the best for you in the present. You can't be sure if your decisions are the best, but you surely have to avoid the bad one if you can !
- sjg007 4y agoDon't repeat the same mistakes, it is boring. Make new mistakes, much more learning happens that way. There's probably a Yodaism in there. The meta level is to recognize classes of mistakes and create a process around preventing them to help avoid future mistakes.
