RE: Do we have free will?

in #philosophy8 years ago

We know death occurs objectively because we can see dead people but we can't know anything about death subjectively because we're alive. Some people dismiss free will because we don't have objective evidence that it exists but we technically don't have any subjective evidence that death exists and nobody questions that death is a part of our experience, so why should we assume that a lack of objective evidence regarding free will means that it isn't a part of our experience?

Thanks for clarifying. I don't disagree with any of that really. And I'm open minded to the idea that maybe there is no death in a subjective sense, like.. Maybe we go elsewhere or things start over like Groundhogs day or.. Who knows.. I dunno. I admit I don't. Many people seem to have a problem admitting when they don't know. Heh. Not me.
