By letting go the outside view, the impossible angle that does not exist, you will come to the conclusion that nothing is pre-determined. Time does not exist as a static entity. If nothing is pre-determined than free will is not an illusion.
Free will means cognitive decisions with derivable motivations, but without true cause. I chose to write this and no law in the universe can trace the intent of my writings. There are solely a product of my interlect and proof of my existence as autonom. However, we do interact and live in accordance to rules that formed to serve the next higher order, the society. Societies possess a consciousness and live as more than the sum of their parts not unlike the conglomeration of your cells that make the You. Societies compete, unite and wage wars until one day, one uniform culture will emerge (the internet)
Indeterminism exists as the random fluctuations of energy fields, they exit that fog and step onto our stage of reality and are exposed to competition, a war of attrition to serve the struggle against entropy as they evolved to form the structures we see. | I beg for you to clarify. How is it that you think you have proven free will simply by ignoring an "outside" view? I am tempted to think that ignorance does not yield insight. | |
