'choosing' thoughts.
#12
RE: 'choosing' thoughts.
That's my attitude too.

And TBH if I believed in free will and found out today somehow that free will definitely doesn't exist. I think it would be stupidly petty and silly to sink into a depression and feel hopeless about it or feel "there is no TRUE morality now" (would that count as an NTS?) - because if I found out in this hypothetical reality that there's definitely no free will - then there NEVER has been! I spent my whole life without it! And I felt fine then so its just retarded to feel bad about something I don't have that no one has in fact ever had if its so.

Life can still be free without free will. Because there are degrees of freedom and lack of it: I mean slavery is less free than NON-slavery isn't it! Even if there's no 'free will.'

Freedom exists anyway. So free will is often a superficial attachment I think. Because if we discover we don't have it 'somehow' then we never have and NO ONE or nothing ever has - so what exactly is the point of whining about it?

EvF

P.S: And just to note. I think what really matter is how free you feel when I'm at my happiest I feel a lot freer than when I'm at my most unhappy. Whether there is free will or not - sometimes I feel a lot more free than other times Wink
