Free will and humans
RE: Free will and humans
(March 7, 2016 at 3:43 am)pool the great Wrote: In your opinion do you feel that humans possesses free will? What is your opinion on the matter?

It is my opinion that humans does possess free will, so I will be arguing for it. I feel that I do poses free will as I am capable of deciding what I'm going to do in the very next minute. If I didn't poses free will then I should've been incapable of deciding what I'm going to do even in the next second. Thus as I have a control over my actions I have free will.

Simply because your actions feel free doesn't mean they are free. In a deterministic universe where humans have the illusion of free will, it would be impossible to tell whether any of your actions or decision are free. For all you know, EVERY decision you make - what to have for breakfast, what film to see, whom to marry - is simply the inexorable outcome of the mechanistic processes established when the Universe instantiated.

Sleep well.
