This was simply breathtaking and beautiful. At the same time it surprises me and it doesn’t, the fact that the same manifestation of Consciousness penned, created and composed such a coherent piece of art. Thank you.

Thanks Tav. I often ask myself that :) but not having free will doesn't mean that you will act unpredictably or randomly. In fact it's just the opposite. Predictable behaviour is reflective of 'causes and effects'. The question, is, could a particular cause have a different effect simply because of free will? Because even if you were to do something out of the ordinary just to spite the test... are you not still just reacting in response to the situation? - thanks for the comments mate. Great to play with these ideas with you.

No I agree... because, even if it was true, their response would also be a continuation of that same process. And that might not be too pleasant.

Good question. But whether you believe in it or not makes no difference... you will do what you will do. Regardless of whether you choose to stay in bed or get up, we can still ask: was it you who decided, or was it just the unfolding history of the universe that lead towards your biological circadian rhythms, coupled with your understanding of 'work = food & shelter', coupled with the fact that you needed your breakfast and so on. Choice is a reaction to a situation, yes. But our question is not whether choice is real... it's whether "choice" is deterministically reactive just like pretty much everything else in the universe, or if there is some element of our consciousness that enables it to act outside of, and seperate to, ordinary physical cause and effect. Which is actually a far more incredible claim. My personal take, however, is not that the universe imposes itself upon us, rather, that we are the universe.

@@InfiniteNow_withSeanCrowley I wrote a bunch of crap, then erased it. Usually, I'm quite good at explaining what I mean. This is a rough one. My feeling is that, whether people have free will or not, it's important for us to believe we do. I'm concerned that people might decide a lack of free will also gives them an excuse. This is a moral argument, not a logical one, but I feel it matters. tavi.

@@richarddeese1087 Ah, yes. I'm glad you clarified that then. I think it's similar to the moral God argument. Many religious people presume a lack of spiritual judgment will result in people abandoning morality. But the truth is they don't, as they have their own moral compass. The reason we don't do bad things is because we don't want to do bad things (or we do want to as the case may be). Though I don't see how it matters whether the act is mine independently or just enacted via me. Only at this minute was I reading the Bhagavad Gita, and the line I stopped at was, "You have a right only to action, never to its fruit. Do not let your motive be the fruit of action, but do not be attached to inaction." We must abandon the drive to do things for this or that gain and instead allow the universe to act through us - which kinda seemed poignant. The only problem I have with free will is that it presumes a detachment and freedom from our environment. When, in fact, we are a reflection of our environment, just as it is a reflection of us. Thanks again mate. :)
