What is the good of having free will? Say as opposed to being determined to act in the same way. How is free will necessarily good?
I have already said that I don't know what the good consequences of free will are. I imagine it has something to do with us not being just mindless robots, acting on instinct alone, and not having a deeper awareness and understanding.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
