Nope, I don’t.
Doesn’t really matter, though. We certainly have the illusion of free will, we behave as if it exists, so it doesn’t actually matter in a practical sense.
It is fun to think about!

I’m slowly starting to post on the .ee one…

Good job guys :D
There’s closed-toe sandals, no? Maybe those aren’t called sandals…
My first thought exactly. There’s platform sandals and such.
I wonder if that’s genetic; there’s people that say celery tastes like soap, for example. I thought it might be something similar.
Hmmm yeah, I guess I just don’t get it - or don’t see it, more accurately.
I’m rather colourblind, so I’m really not sure what the really green stuff is. Are peas not really green? I thought they were orange for a very long time, but I’m pretty sure I’ve been told they’re green, actually.
Black eyed peas freaking rock. I love black eyed pea salad with onion and tuna. A shame you don’t vibe with broccoli… I love roasted broccoli, especially. Oh well!
Well, to each their own :D
Probably writing. I make sure to write a little every day. I feel like it helps me keep a rhythm and allows me to reflect on the things I care about, the things I’m thinking about, and what I’ve done that day.
That way I get it out if the way then I can enjoy the rest of meal without having to worry about eating it.
I always find it so weird to hear that there really are people that genuinely dislike vegetables. Or am I misunderstanding this? I love veggies :D
I’m not sure what you mean… I haven’t really gotten much of that at all, thankfully, as it does sound pretty annoying.
My family. I feel really good that I can trust and rely on my parents, that I can talk to my brother, that I have my grandma close and still healthy. It’s a privilege to be related to these people, to be honest.
Does HK count? In The Mood For Love.
Apothecary Diaries Season 1!
IDK if I can tell them anything, but certainly most things. They’re very nice.
I just use an old Kindle, but I’m considering buying an SPC Dickens Light 2 Pro. They’re sold out, right now.
What do you mean? Websites in general?
Well, I guess Alexandrite.app is my favourite website… IDK…
IDK man, over here I don’t think police interactions are as violent as they are in the US…
This seems like a very weird way to look at the issue.
For one, not being able to understand minute, uncountable connections and interactions doesn’t mean we can’t realize a broader relationship of causality between them and our own actions. There are many things we don’t know - that’s right and undeniable - but there are also many things we do know, or at least that we think we know. Sure, you can go around saying “we understand so little about [virtually any scientific discipline], might as well assume that whatever soothes my psyche is true,” but just because the first part of that statement is true doesn’t mean the whole thing is reasonable. In my opinion, by the way, it isn’t reasonable.
Here’s a question for you: if you assume free will doesn’t exist, what difference does it make? I mean, you still feel like it exists, you live your life as if experiencing it, and regardless of whether you, as an individual, believe it or not, the world continues on as if it does exist. I really see no difference, in practical terms, between believing free will exists or not.
A little off-topic, but this reminds me of those people that say that morality can’t exist outside of religion. You say you’re an atheist, and then they ask you why you don’t go around killing people. Hopefully you understand what I’m talking about here.
