@acceptthevoid This was a family members video. I am glad to see that you liked it. I feel the same way as the author and because of your comment I feel that I should probably start making similarly themed videos.
go for it it man. id love to see more.. i love the comparison between the concept of eternal damnation to the reasoning of a child lol and the thing about how forgivess contributes to a delusion that there is something to be forgiven, that like blew my mind
I imagine using free will arguments against individuals in an attempt to modify their behavior would be equivalent to using threats of eternal damnation. The technique may work but I don't believe it is healthy for the individual or society in the long run, especially when one is trying to get people to think scientifically instead of superstitiously.
watch?v=-HZgIZPSKWs (Re: Free Will Doesn't Matter) for more. And in the comments, help me help user, melancholyid see the light.
Thank you. By the way, don't you think it is really silly of people to assume that so called "moral responsibility" is a prerequisite to behavior modification? The Average American wouldn't allow dangerous brain-damaged individuals to run amok. But if I pointed out that "criminals" are not responsible for creating their existing mind-set, then the Average American makes the nutty claim that the "criminal" must be released. Free will and moral responsibility are different sides of the same coin.
yeah im a determinism noob but i love your video its psychodelic and brilliant
