I was randomly recommended this on YouTube, and it's super interesting

Never done LSD before but y'know

I enjoy LSD

They allowed absynthe during the Bush Administration, but it's not the kind that works.

I can't believe I missed a conversation about LSD.

There are some leading questions in that video.

Let's talk about biological determinism and how it leaves no room for free will.

I don’t like that

Why?

That’s scary shit

Why is it scary??

Because it suggests I have no control

And that “I” may not actually exist

I think we may be redefining the term "free will"

Not gonna be available for the next few days tho

@m.miller
That kind of thought process could lead to race realism. I've learned it is a taboo thing to discuss.

@tom there are no taboo topics in the war if ideas.

Isn't biological determinism theoretical? Is there any evidence for it?

More evidence for it than free will

example?

That

Also the law of cause and effect

fMRIS show the impulses in our brains a full ten seconds before we are aware if having made a choice.

Every decision you make must be an effect of something else. It cannot be spontaneously generated. So it’d be foolhardy to assume that our decisions are anything other than a culmination of variables filtering through our brains

Exactly, @delta, thank you

I hate that btw

That exact argument I made sucks

It@logically sound

It just sucks

“We already know our decisions can be unconsciously primed,”

"Although subjects are free to choose when and which button to press, the experimental set-up restricts them to only these actions and nothing more"
