I still think my original explanation is extremely cool
I think that's Locke's explanation. I'm not a fan of Locke. It's interesting and certainly adds to the debate, but ultimately I think it collapses under pressure.
*what pressure*
The pressure of actually conforming to any real definition of free will
That's what that argument has the biggest trouble doing
What's your definition?
That our will in some respect is uncaused
Assuming free will exists is the most coherent option we have.
That way we can kick the shit out of people who act like assholes instead of being forced to leave them alone because they didn’t “chose” to do it.
Philosophically we still ought to justify/explain it.
By face value it's easiest to assume we have it
In the same way that in our every day life we act as if the earth is flat, but everything is more complicated as we go up in complexity.
Is it acceptable for your definition that the source of the free will is not caused, but is the cause? Because my definition of what a subject is is basically the sum total of causes that ultimately cause action to be taken
If Free Will is say, the cause, then God still is the First Cause because He Himself made the Concept of Free Will
That's what Eoppa said referring to Molinism I think
Molinism?
Molinism is something a bit different
Imma Google that
And I say God at every moment sustains our free will
ughh
Free will and the modal collapse argument are two things I think I can contribute to if I write something longer and more fleshed out. If not free will then hopefully the modal collapse argument.
@Revolt Against Everything there's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya about the raising of the wrist, Socrates himself was permanently pissed...

Well. Maybe. "It's complicated".

- Where would you draw the line between insanity and creativity?
When are hurt or in close danger of being hurt as the result of the persons creativity/insanity
They are the same thing, one is when society views it positively, the other negatively
@Attika at the profit margin.
when u see what benifits we got from hitler and all nazis sht
u understand that it was worth it
but when u only see that hitler is killing people because u think with your heart and u cant imagine that there is benefits
then u are close minded
otherwise
u would try to understand why
hitler is a good person
and so
learn and upgrade your knowledge
because open mindness = research of the truth/ knowledge
