real love without free will is like two magnets attracting, i.e. nothing to glorify.
I'm not saying that I or OP have solved any thorny free will philosophical problem, but the first step is recognizing the problem. If you believe two magnets attracting is what love is, that's fine, but promise me you'll tell that to your spouse in your vows and on every anniversary and make sure your kids don't start to imagine that you are anything but a choiceless automaton in your feelings toward them. Please don't use chatGPT to write their birthday cards, chatGPT is liable to convey feelings.

- Brian_K_White 4y agoEven "nothing to glorify" leaves room to interpret poorly. I would say it is fine to revel in, but no special virtue. If it really is beyond choice, then it's no better than a form of lust. It can still be fine to experience and engage in, but it doesn't make the participants heros or good people, or bad.
