| The modern recurrence of strict pre-determinism as a philosophy, to my knowledge, can be traced to the term "spacetime" as the object. If spacetime is strictly viewed and misinterpreted as one object, as one thing, than the past, present and future is represented at once within that object and choices become meaningless.
Ignorance as used above alludes to the fact that there is something to see, that there is something big at work behind the scenes, that there is an obvious truth but that we are all helpless subjects to an illusion with the exception of a few who can see their life as a futile struggle against an inevitable pre-determined outcome
Well, if this is the case, than I am proud to be ignorant with my illusion of free will. |
