RE: @freewill On Free Will and Accountability – a demand for more Compassion from @kevinwong !
I tend to write in a middle kind of way without going too far left or too far right. Personally don't think there's a difference in objective/subjective reality (talked bout it in my previous post about consciousness). For some, illusion of free-will is good enough an answer. If you think about the universe as a giant state machine, and believe in the theory of parallel universe - that's pretty easy to reconcile both deterministic / non-deterministic worldviews. There's really no way to tell if my claims are right or wrong. So I just tell it based on my own experience and thoughts bout the subject, and make a case for decriminalization as the next iteration (instead of immediate abandonment of the state) in social contract. @_@ thanks for engaging me in this :) I have to say i'm actually pretty tired, maybe i'll read again in the morning!
Thanks for the reply Kevin.
I think your approach is reasonable, but as I say in the OP I just can't see why you wouldn't follow your own argument to it's logical conclusion (that there is no free will)?
I'd love it if you read again after a sleep and came back to discuss this more! All the best, @freewill
I'm still trying to wrap my head around your post. Are you on steemit.chat?
I'm afraid not... happy to discuss here though : )
