False - You have definitely been influenced by many factors to arrive where you are, but you always have control over the focus of your attention. That is the definition of free will - the ability to control the focus of your attention

Sam Harris will happily talk for over an hour explaining that you can't have free will because your choices are based on "who you are" and "what is happening around you." This is pure sophistry. The whole reason for having anything like free will is so that your choices will reflect who you are and you will be able to respond appropriately to what is going on around you. Would your choices be free if they weren't based on these two obvious situations?

free will, in philosophy and science, is the supposed power or capacity of humans to make decisions or perform actions independently of any prior event or state of the universe. So when we ask when a mental activity is either determined or undetermined. if it was undetermined, then its random = not free. if it was determined, its either internal or external. if it was external then it was not free. if it was internal then you have to ask again whether that thing was determined or undetermined and so on and so on. Though im not sure what position your making here when you say 'the reason for free will existing' because its either that free will exists or doesnt exist and not whether we want it to exist or not.

@@badgiraffe-ff1fu My point is that we don't live in a deterministic universe. The parts do not control the whole and the past does not control the present, so nothing in nature is determined. There are many inputs to any effect, but none of them designate an outcome as would be in a deterministic universe. My point in saying "the reason for free will existing" was to show the circular reasoning of the sophists like Harris or Sapolsky. If humans have free will it is so they can function in the world, so saying that this means that your choices aren't free is sophistry. What is happening around you and who you are as a person are strong inputs into your choices, but they don't control what you ultimately decide. "Free" in this case does not mean completely separated and isolated from reality.

@@caricue you don’t give evidence for your point that the parts do not control but I’m not sure what your calling ‘parts’. Would you agree that an act is either determined or undetermined? If so then would you agree that an act that is undetermined is random/not free. If it was determined it would be either internal or external and in the case that it’s external it is not free and in the case of it being internal eg inside the mind, then you have to ask again whether that was determined or undetermined and it circles back to the dichotomy, either of which is out of your control and therefore there is no free will.
@caricue26 күн бұрын
@@badgiraffe-ff1fu The only evidence for anything like determinism is the fact that you can do the same experiment over and over and always get the same result. This shows that we live in a universe that features reliable causation, so life can control its internal environment and humans can make and use technology. Otherwise intelligent people take this to mean that since the experiment comes out the same every time, then the outcome is "determined," but the scientist can change the conditions at will and get many different outcomes. The atoms and molecules (the parts) will happily go along with this new configuration since they are passive objects and can't determine anything.

Nor is it a mystery as to what "determines" the engagement of an action or the making of a final decision. It is your conscious choice to do so. The way you choose to walk to the kitchen for food or type on your computer, your conscious choice to engage in an action is the determining cause of that action being taken. It doesn't matter what your biology or environment or emotional state is. It is your intentional choice to take an action that causes that action to be taken. No infinite regression and no other factor or some amorphous notion like "the universe" or some other non-answer is required. This is very simple psychology 101 stuff.

There is no such a thing as 100% free will, which is literally of divinity, and the most of factors are out of our control, but that still doesn’t change the fact that we still can consciously reason and make a choice in a decision making process. So we do have small degree of freedom, which I consider it to be meaningful, but it’s just incredibly small compared to the vastness of universe.

Free will is having the ability to make a decision without any internal or external motivating factors. God is the only one that can make free will decisions because He does not have any internal or external motivating factors, influencers or pressures that cause Him to form his decisions. He just has plans and he implements them. Man is born in sin and it is his flesh that needs things and his heart, eyes, mind and nature that wants things. These motivators or influencers cause him to make his decisions. example: if he’s hungry he needs to eat, if he’s cold or hot he needs to adjust the temperature in a room. If he has a family his life evolves around a family. If he has a sick relative he needs to care for the sick relative. If he wants to take a vacation he needs to save his money for his vacation. If he wants to buy a Rolls Royce car over a Honda he needs to get a job that pays well enough to afford this kind of car. If he wants to be a scientist instead of a construction worker then he goes to school for a lot of years. All these things are influencing motivators for his decision making. Man has an illusion of free will. God gives man limited authority contingent on obedience to God. Once man starts going against the provision that God blesses that man with them God starts removing those blessings. Example. If the man knows not to steal, and God bless him with a nice house, a nice family then all of a sudden one day he decides he wants to start stealing through his company and starts embezzling money from the company. God will allow him to get caught and go to jail for a long time and lose his nice family, lose his home and lose all those blessings.

The body is not meant to be stressed by weights. It's meant to be stretched. It's meant to be flexible. A flexible tree stands strong during a storm, while a rigid and tough tree breaks.

@marcusstrinidad4 ай бұрын
@@user-uu9kj3nt6yyes and no. Working out is predominantly contracting muscles. Sure you are lengthening during a rep, but you aren’t necessarily stretching the muscle beyond its normal range of motion. So if you ONLY lift weights, you will become less flexible because the physiological adaptation is for your muscles to be better at contracting in that limited range of motion. Does it require flexibility to squat? Sure. But does it make you MORE flexible if you squat? Not necessarily.

This is so redundant. Of course "complete" free will doesn't exist. Nobody has the freedom to will a pair of wings into existence and go flapping around the New York skyline with the pigeons. But we do have the freedom to will ourselves out of a life of unproductive and self-sabotaging vices, work hard at some pursuit, perhaps do well in school, get our pilot's licence, and soar above that same skyline in an airplane. I've read Sam's book on free will. It's arguments are horrendously flawed, and often rely on totally outdated neuroscience. Sam isn't a scientist in any case. What science does he actually do? What study in what journal has he had published in the last 20 years? There is very little that separates Sam from any other preacher. What they preach about may differ, but their methodologies certainly don't.
