@JacobFox I was not for a long time but I am going after Christianity now. I think it is great for people. I am just having trouble figuring out exactly what it means to be christian and trying to feel such a pressence
Say then also that the determinist puts forward an additional account that states, for
example, if a mind is caused to select the best it can in a situation, and that
selection is objectively correct, proper, and satisfactory (by some measure),
then it is properly freely chosen because no other possible future course of
that mind would make sense. Such a view combining deterministic ability
with the sufficiency of just one future opportunity is in fact called a compatibilist
account of freedom, and some like, believing determinists dub
themselves thus.

But what if, to the contrary, such a closed future is deemed insuffi cient
for freedom? (That the future, to be freely chosen, should be “open wide.”)
For example, what if the best a mind can select in a situation is a fifty - fifty
proposition of heads or tails, without any further preference between the
two?

A determinist account of this mind says that one actually is preferred,
for one is fi nally caused to be selected over the other. But here indeterminists
cry foul—how can that one be truly freely chosen if the other is
equally preferred? Truly free choices in these circumstances demand that
both future alternatives are available for choosing. This means that any
such choice requires plural opportunities in the future—and real ones, in
a genuinely open future way
And if that is correct, determinism is false, at
least for minds that are conceived as free in this way (so they can’t be supercomputers).
So for philosophers that demand such a plurality of future
opportunities for any stated ability of mind to choose freely, freedom is
incompatible with a determinist account of the locally closed future. Such
philosophers of freedom are termed incompatibilists; they hold that the necessity
of the plurality of opportunities for choice cannot be reconciled
with locally closed future determinism.
@trent u can check logs to find out the mod that deleted it <:GWchadThink:366999782348292108>
Incompatibilist, indeterminists, sometimes called libertarians—believe that minds at least sometimes
function in indeterminist ways, and when they do, the plurality of future
opportunities assures that this free will to choose actually exists.
So there are determinists who believe that compatibilist freedom exists,
and indeterminists who believe that incompatibilist freedom exists. But
now for a moment think hard (so to speak) on this matter of incompatibilism.
Incompatibilism as a belief is only a very abstract conceptual view
about the philosophical need for locally plural open - future opportunities
for freedom of choice and does not commit to whether such a future exists.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Rick’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick’s existential catchphrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
Thus there are some determinists who agree with this view, and since they
are also determinists about minds, reject any belief in such freedom of mind
and will. For them the truth of determinism rules out such incompatibilist
free will. They are called hard incompatibilists, determinists who do not
believe that the opportunities form of free will exists.
Does this answer your question now?
You should have listened
Ya missed out
