RE: Do we truly have freewill? Deterministic approach.

in #life8 years ago

I don't know. I find the deterministic view somewhat comforting. I mean, it makes no difference to my life experience really. A good cup of coffee in the morning is still a good cup of coffee, determined or not. And the bad things that happen, well, it was going to happen no matter what. So even though the concept of personal responsibility has been pre-determined within societies-- psst, psst, our little secret-- there was nothing I could do about it.

I completely agree that in reality whether it is true or not it doesn't actually make a difference to life and how you enjoy it. Though it is an interesting idea to look at as it does raise a lot of questions in more areas than just philosophy and science.
