Determinism, Free Will and Paradox
#43
RE: Determinism, Free Will and Paradox
Sure, if you draw a circle around only what you wish to acknowledge and ignore where that surfeit of order comes from as per our understanding of entropy, sharpshooter.

If we ignore whatever's inconvenient we can always say that whatever's convenient is true, regardless of whether or not it is. As I mentioned though, for purposes of good discussion I'll allow it. Now tell me where our brains are getting all of that indeterminancy from, how they do it, and how I could observe that? Also..what portion of the universe is being shittifed or made even more deterministic by our "choosing" things? From whence does this spring flow?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
