i think the reason we are here is simply that there is no reason we shouldn't be

2018-09-12 15:13:13 UTC  

all possibilities are actual

2018-09-12 15:13:17 UTC  

so here we are

2018-09-12 15:13:20 UTC  

However, one must also devalue all the information deducted from empirics

2018-09-12 15:13:27 UTC  

We could all be thinking suicides, one day attempting but never being able to meet death or could meet death in a differenct circumstance that is largely not in our control?

2018-09-12 15:13:32 UTC  

Otherwise, that is hypocrisy and opportunism

2018-09-12 15:13:33 UTC  

if you suicide maybe you will just wind up in a different situation which also blows

2018-09-12 15:13:47 UTC  

So do we really have a choice? Or do we just obey what our mind perceives to be reasonable course in action?

2018-09-12 15:13:50 UTC  

Claims without evidence are dismissed without evidence

2018-09-12 15:13:56 UTC  

Fair enough.

2018-09-12 15:13:58 UTC  

that claim has no evidence

2018-09-12 15:14:05 UTC  

so dismiss it. boom

2018-09-12 15:14:16 UTC  

But can't we rather talk hypothetical about it?

2018-09-12 15:14:34 UTC  

How did Nietzsche built his foundations on nothing?

2018-09-12 15:14:41 UTC  

It wasn't on nothing

2018-09-12 15:14:47 UTC  

>So do we really have a choice? Or do we just obey what our mind perceives to be reasonable course in action?

I would phrase this as you respond to the challenge of the world at each moment

2018-09-12 15:14:48 UTC  

There was evidence in his own terms

2018-09-12 15:15:08 UTC  

That would also imply that we "obey"

2018-09-12 15:15:29 UTC  

"I would phrase this as you respond to the challenge of the world at each moment"

Am I truly challenging the world? Or am I just reacting to what I am supposed to do due to the pre-events determining my course of forming these sort of thoughts?

2018-09-12 15:15:35 UTC  

Are you even real people or am I asleep?

2018-09-12 15:15:37 UTC  

You are reacting

2018-09-12 15:15:44 UTC  

Let me give you solid proof

2018-09-12 15:15:47 UTC  

aight

2018-09-12 15:15:56 UTC  

Put your hand in icy cold water for an hour

2018-09-12 15:16:09 UTC  

Ah the reflex

2018-09-12 15:16:14 UTC  

Should be below 20 Deg Celsius Idk what that is for fahrenheit

2018-09-12 15:16:17 UTC  

Or something else

2018-09-12 15:16:17 UTC  

Just one of millions

2018-09-12 15:16:20 UTC  

alrite

2018-09-12 15:16:25 UTC  

Use heroin

2018-09-12 15:16:29 UTC  

Where is your free will now

2018-09-12 15:16:41 UTC  

Drink 7 beers in a row

2018-09-12 15:16:55 UTC  

Oh I guess your chemical state had a direct effect on your consciousness

2018-09-12 15:16:58 UTC  

i mean are you just saying we're subject to cause and effect...?

2018-09-12 15:17:02 UTC  

Yes

2018-09-12 15:17:06 UTC  

YES

2018-09-12 15:17:06 UTC  

There is NO

2018-09-12 15:17:08 UTC  

"Oh I guess your chemical state had a direct effect on your consciousness"

2018-09-12 15:17:09 UTC  

proof to suggest otherwise

2018-09-12 15:17:11 UTC  

Also YES on that thing

2018-09-12 15:17:23 UTC  

again, there are rationalist critiques of this stuff. David Hume posed epistemological problems for science which have never been overcome
