Implications of not having free will
#5
RE: Implications of not having free will
If we do not have free will, then everything that has happened will continue, status quo. The real question is whether or not the accepted knowledge of no free will would change anything. That would be answered by the ultimate question, "Is this a deterministic universe?".
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
-- Homer Simpson

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.
-- Superintendent Chalmers

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
-- Ned Flanders

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.
-- The Rev Lovejoy
