What do we do while deciding if free will exists?
#21
RE: What do we do while deciding if free will exists?
If there is no free will, no one is making any choices, not even the people "judging" others for making those choices. So there is no moral dilemma. It would only be a problem if some people had free will and were judging others who didn't have it.

But since there's a good chance this is not true, you can only lose by assuming it is true. If it turns out there is no free will, then all the clever tactics to try and avoid it were just what you would have done anyway. But if it isn't true, you've handed over the keys to your brain.

Ironically, this is like a Pascal's wager that actually works.
