Do You Have FREE WILL?
In this episode, I explore my thoughts on free will, from both the direction of the physical, objective world, and the conscious, subjective world.

    The Noumena may be a pure light or something related to light, as light being processed is what generates our reality from our consciousness. The consciousness is grounded and centered in a pure awareness that is inherently singular. So it may be possible that the physical and ideal realms are both equally grounded in a singularity of awareness and light unified in the common attribute of being. And with this philosophy goes back to Parimenides, who taught that the Truth is simply "it is" or in other words, being.

    Where is the “self “ that either has or doesn’t have free will ?

  • @Belinor6
    @Belinor6 4 місяці тому

    I don't think I even want free will. I want my thoughts and actions to be determined, by my past, my experiences, by my mood, without this is sort of like playing a game but the game has no rules, none whatsoever, it's not a very good game. And ultimately I think you become more free when you abandon the notion of free will, because being influenced and having you actions determined are the rules of the game, this happens even if we pretend it doesn't, once you accept the rules you can actually start playing. For instance I used to get in much more arguments, but once I understood the impact that low blood sugar and cortisol have on aggression this happens a lot less, if a discussion starts to get heated I have lunch and after I solve whatever I have to solve. I had to accept that these behaviours were not mine they were external to me, once I understood the rures of the game I had more freedom to play. This is a very basic example, but it extends to every single aspect of our existence, from childhood experiences to genetic predispositions, the more rules you accept as determining you the better you can play the game. At the same time I feel even better with my choices specifically because they are not free, I understand where they come from.

    There is no scientific evidence of a soul just as no other religion has evidence for it. Modern science is effectively a religion. It has arbitrary standards of belief necessary for something to be considered truth. These standards are set by science's clergy: academia, industry, and governments. Despite this lack of evidence, if you blindly follow your intuition/gut instinct long enough in your decision making, then you'll eventually begin noticing a series of coincidences which steadily become more and more unlikely. These synchronicities, frequent experiences of deja vu, and seemingly random thoughts are signs that you are becoming aware of the nature of your reality. Inevitably, you will come to realize that free will and fatalism both exist to a degree. Life is like a choose your own adventure game. Many things which we like to think we have free will over, we in fact do not. For instance, you and your friends are thinking of where to eat lunch and the idea to try a place your co-worker recommended pops into your head. You voice the thought for you believe it is your own, and so you and your friends go to that restaurant. You did not choose to have that thought pop up in your head, and you did not choose to believe that the thought was your own. Therefore, you never really had a choice in where you and your friends ate for lunch that day. Despite many apparent choices being illusions constructed by the ego to rationalize its subservience to the unconscious, there are points in this game of life where true free will does exist. Whenever you have a choice placed in front of you and your gut/heart/conscience is screaming at you to the point of feeling nearly ill, then that choice is a "real" choice and it will affect the course of your life whether you believe it will or not. This feeling is extremely distinct and will not be confused with common feelings like regret or guilt or anxiety. You likely felt this feeling sometime in your childhood and remember it as a random moment that you either regret or are happy for. For myself, I distinctly remember not helping an old lady who called out to me for help rolling out her garbage bins while I was walking to the bus stop during my Freshman year of high school. My gut told me that helping the old lady and risking missing my bus was the "right" choice, and I chose to ignore it. Within 30 seconds of me ignoring the old lady, another student walking to the bus stop stopped and helped the old lady instead of myself. I asked the student later what she had needed help for and he told me that she had asked if he could roll out her garbage bins each week for $50, which he of course accepted since it was extremely quick and easy money. Had I listened to my gut, I would have had a great early source of income while in high school which likely would've changed my life in ways I cannot expect.

  • @diamonddelver3845
    @diamonddelver3845 4 місяці тому

    Ive thought about this one a good bit on my own. While id tend to agree that speaking purely technically, no free will is the more 'correct' answer, it exists in a state similar to Shrodinger's Cat in that it exists until definitively proven not to. This proof would also cause problens of its own. For example, were you to ve able to prove that in 30 years, a baby in fornt of you would go on to do the most heinous crime imaginable, what are you behooved to do about it? Would you learning this information change the outcome? Id be interested to hear other's thoughts on this.

    • @Barefoot-Jaycee
      @Barefoot-Jaycee 4 місяці тому

      Considering the nature of this video and your comment, I'm assuming you're referring to "logic" in the philosophical sense (dealing with the formal principles of reasoning, involving the study of arguments, fallacies, and the structure of propositions.) If so, this argument may be committing a category error by conflating different types of existence. Physical phenomena and abstract entities like logic exist in different ways. Logic is a conceptual framework used to understand and describe physical reality, but it doesn't exist as a physical object. Logic is an emergent property of complex physical systems, just as software is an emergent property of computer hardware. The organizing behavior of the material does not exist independent of the material itself. Logic IS material, because it cannot exist any other way.

    Very illuminating! I've been thinking we need something like a 'meta-religious' framework for essentially this reason. It seems like mankind is rapidly disintegrating into many 'simulcra', and there has to be some kind of metaphysical revival, and a movement which will unify these disparate dimensions of our phenomenology/psychology. Some kind of unifying logic must emerge out of this post-enlightenment era that we seem to be entering.

      Thank you! And yes, exactly. For some background, back when the "New Atheist" trend was in full swing, I was quite enthusiastically in favour of the rational direction I saw emerging in society. While I still believe in the absolute necessity of rationality for modern human civilization, I also now see that - though the New Atheists were very effective in showing the holes in religious dogma, they made little effort to erect anything in religion's place. Religion has survived for so long and arisen independently so many times because it near-optimally serves both an important psychological and social function. I think the optimal solution for humanity must find a new framework that achieves this, but that exists without appealing to irrational modes of thought. - Xan

    I think the way we should approach the problem of consciousness it to abandon the somewhat unfounded idea of and "I" separated from everything else. We don't experience feelings or sensations, we are the feelings and sensations. When you look at a green wall you are the green wall. It might seem silly to think like this but take it just one step further, add more colors, diversify them and you have a painting. When you look at a painting and it captures you attention, in that moment the painting is you, it shapes you thoughts, it takes hold of them and diverts the cognitive power to study itself, the colours the contrasts, and takes hold of your actions, makes you move to catch the light better. Is this not what it means to be you? To be the thing that shapes your thoughts and actions? And you might even become the painting permanently, a tiny bit of you at least, if the painting truly impacts you, from that moment forward your actions will be slightly different, influenced by the painting, and as such the painting will be making a little to your decisions and as such it will be a little of you. Like a bit of clay being added to a large one, it so happens that with the green wall the bit of clay is much smaller, but the difference is in scale not in nature. I the Cartesian theater we must not see ourselves as the spectator but as the screen.

    Another interesting project was dispersing random number generators around the earth, and monitoring them for synchronicity. They seemed to have a relationship to human events, spitting out more coincidental matches when large dramatic events were happening. I wish I could remember the name of the project....it may be ongoing. It seems related to this subject.

    It's really nice to find people who share the same ideas as we do. In particular the idea of an universal ethos constructed on top of an all encompassing model of reality, is something I have been wrestling with for the past few months. The idea came to me when I was researching ethics and I stumbled into stoicism, an important part of the philosophy of the stoics is that one must live in accordance with nature, this sounds good but what the hell does "nature" means? For the ancient Greeks it certainly meant something different than it does to us. There's an infinite amount of possible interpretations of what the natural order is. And as such I sought to find my own and to try to make it as objective, encompassing and pragmatic as possible. It's a work in progress but I think that I have a pretty good foundation. Using this model I'm able of deriving structures like life, inteligence, social behaviours and possibly consciousness, form 2 basic principles of the universe. I know specially the consciousness claim might seem pretty bold, but I do have a masters in neurocognitive sciences and aim to do my PhD in the field of consciousness, I think I have a good working understanding of what consciousness might be.
