Life changing events are often out of your control
- jedberg 3y agoThat's sometimes but not always, or even often, true. You're thinking of accidents or death. But what about marriage or jobs or education or divorce? Those usually require an active choice (or many of them).
- nsagent 3y agoThat's a debated topic. See the recent book by Stanford neuroendocrinologist Robert Sapolsky "Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will."
- jedberg 3y agoIt's true, any system is 100% deterministic when you get to a low enough level, but we can't observe it and saying so is rather pointless.
