This statement presupposes free will.
Free will is not primarily a political concept but an epistemological concept that has political implications.
Free will is an irreducible primary that many people today want to ignore, deny, evade to shirk the responsibility of judgement.
Free will is validated by introspection and no one can convince you of its axiomatic nature except your self, i.e. your own will, which makes it paradoxically circular or self-referential but nevertheless it is at the base of ALL knowledge.
- chirau 11y agoSo you would agree with me then that free will ultimately leads to chaos? It would constitute freedom to hate openly and freedom to retaliate openly too.
- Mimu 11y agoNot really. We have rules but free will allows you to do whatever you want. Hence why hate crimes actually happens, or terrorists or whatever things we have rules against. Absence of rules may lead to chaos (I'm not entirely convinced since we didn't have rules before, so absence of rules may actually lead to rules) but this has nothing to do with free will imo.
