So true lol when I figured this out,I was pretty pissed how controlled I was, bound to psychological categories of how we are because of influences.It's unavoidable, but there truly isn't free will.We're basically built in a certain way to act the way we act and choose the way we choose. We become who we are with our surroundings and ppl around us, so in the end, we decide on what we've been turned into by everything we've been through. Thats y psychologists can understand ppl really quick.
To you, what are the implications of there being "little" free will? The only thing I can derive from that belief is freedom from responsibility for bad choices. I mean, there are definitely lots of physical and chemical laws that govern how we behave, it's entirely probably that electrical laws and other unknown physical laws determine what seem to be our free choices... But we still make those choices based on what we know, and those choices still impact the world around us.
uhh.. free will is if you choose to steal or kill or something or not? right. its not really related to like emotions and sexual impulses. but i still love you and im going to like ur video and continue to be subscribed and all i just think ur a lil confused on this subject.
You can have weakness and desire- but that doesn't mean we have to act on it. Most of people does, it's fact. But things like boner and hunger - those are signals from body in case if it's functioning well.
My friend, Rev, and I always used to talk about this. Only, instead of feelings, we demonstrated using a bottle of hand sanitizer. People are great hand sanitizer dodgers, if you were to throw a bottle of hand sanitizer at someone, they would instinctively dodge. There was no choice, no will in that. Tell me what you think.
So many choices that are influenced by another force don't have to be. If we step out of our character boundries we could make a decsision of pure logic. I feel that this may be important as to making the right choice, somtimes. Btw I love your videos, Onision!
erm, i'd have to half agree, half disagree. i agree with the outside influence and stimuli part, but it's our choice to take those into consideration. and instincts and natural reactions shouldn't really be considered in this discussion in my opinion, because they are involuntary. i can chose when to blink my eyes, but if dust gets into them, my body's reaction is to flush it out. so, i guess TRUE, pure free will doesn't necessarily exist, but we are free to make our own decisions. nice topic :)
personally i don't believe in free will, because basically all of our actions are ultimately based on our natures. and our natures are inevitable consequences of existing. thus, free will doesn't exist. op.
I think its all about attitude. you can teach yourself to look at everything in the world with nothing but pure logic, but as i've found out from watching others do this to themselves, its not the right way to go. As humans we have a need for emotions and desires. It's just how it is. There is indeed free will, in my opinion, but not a completely "pure" free will because as you said, we have all these influences around us to affect everything we decide on a daily basis
This is interesting because one day I decided to track when in the day I am making different kinds of decisions whether it is on free will, emotion and why. It turns out that every second of everyday living is filled with free will. For example, choosing to tie your right shoe before the left or when not engaging in any particular activity, which spot on the room to zone out into. I believe anything with a brain has freewill unless drugged or disabled somehow.
Everything that happens is determined by every occurance, whether huge or seemingly insignificant, prior to it. Free will doesn't exist but people are unwilling to accept this because we fear not having control.
Freewill, among many things, is extremely limited due to our perceptions of what is considered to be acceptable by the community around us and the world.
Your desires and instincts come from YOU.. and yeah, we don't have free will over survival as in food and drink.. but we have it over what we Choose to eat and drink. Anything that comes from you, be it your desires or needs is still free will because it comes from You. By definition you do not have free will if it comes from an Outer source.
There's influence, and then there's what we actually do. Sure, being angry might influence you to punch that person who's pissing you off in the face. If we were slaves to our emotions, we probably would act upon them. Instead, because of logic and freewill and the ability to know the consequences of our actions, we can avoid punching that person in the face. You make it sound like we're mindless slaves to outer influences. If that were true, then what about teenage rebellion and law breaking?
It's my personal opinion that free will was given to me by God. The human needs that everyone feel can't really be put under the umbrella of "free will", because they are nothing less and nothing more than chemical reactions in our body, including emotions. That in and of itself is just nature taking course. Does a tree choose to perform photosynthesis? No, it just happens. Free will comes with being animate, and in that regard, human. Nature is not apart of free will. Neither is being human.
Well I'd say people are influenced by their needs and certain other desires yes, but we are free moral agent - we have the ability in many circumstances to choose how to respond to situations, regardless of if we helped craft that situation or it was placed before us. So while it's not strictly speaking "free will" as you define it, the agency of choice for each human being is still there in many respects and must not be trivialized.
Yes Free Will does exist, It's because you have the will to disagree or deny a request. I can choose to not drink water, I can choose to not have sex. That is why influence will never outweigh free will.
Think of a Dictator, he tries to influence you, not take your free will. You can choose to go against him and die and if the whole country grew balls, he would have a choice, would free will allow him to choose to kill everyone or not?
Regarding that we are all influenced by our genes (as you explained already) and the way we were educated, the way we feel towards our family ties, the way friends treat us, the way we learn to see the world. All of that influences us day by day. We cannot change and our very every action will be an result of our genes and our social envrionment in the end. But regarded this way, world would be a sad place and humanity wouldn't have any choices at all. Therefore we imagine to have a free will...
Definetly no free will, we are bioligicak robots just prosessing life chemically, or on the other hand we are infinite timeless beings will godly like free will, or on the other hand our free will is the test we are given to choose light or dark.
Im pretty sure we dont have free will, we make our decisions based on circumstances, will, personality..since every person has different characteristics, will and circumstances, we make different choices, not because we have free will. maybe we do have free will subconsciously.
Free will is action, not feeling. Maybe you can't control how you feel or what you think (to a point) but free will is the freedom to _act_ in whatever way we please. There might be peer pressure, desire, anger, emotion, influence of any kind, but we still control what we _do_.
not bein funny an no offense to muslim`s but I don`t gwt it? baby jesu`s is a baby at crismas but by easter hes a growne man on the cross? is it a miricle?
well we have free will in some areas , but not all...complete free will dosn't exist...for example a murderer..cannot kill ..because it is against the law..if he/she does they will be punished...stealing lying, we have free will in that but each of those free will actions have consequences, as does murdering,but lying and stealing is less consequencial obviously emm in sexuality.we have no choice to our feelings, so what i believe is that we have no choice to our natural feeelings.ye
just because you have feelings, doesn't mean you have to follow what those feelings lead you to, THAT is free will. Like with an alcoholic, they have the feeling that they NEED alcohol, but they can fight that feeling and will themselves not be the way they are...you are a complete moron greg...
I think decisions are made based on the circumstances that the human brain has to suffer. It's our decision to make whether we want to act according to the need or not. As to the existance of the need, I think that's just the natural manifestation of human biology. And about your desert example... think about it - if you wind up thirsty in the desert, it's because you didn't think twice before starting a trip through the desert... of all the places :P
I think free will exists, but there are definately strong influences on emotions, its just how that individual reacts to that influence, but there are certain survival drivers definately
You said a lot of involuntary actions when you used those examples... Its my free will to type here. I want to...I can stop, but I don't want to stop(but like I said...I can)....Free will is there sometimes(me typing), and not there at others(me getting a boner).
Then I chose to feel more happy, than sad... And now here I am, finally realizing you're an idiot.
It's true, that sometimes you just FEEL what you feel, with no choice, but most of the time... you have a choice. Kind of like "Choose to turn your cheek, or choose to argue, and perhaps gain even worse/better feelings." So stupid, Greg.
Free will isn't kept from us because of what influences us, it's our decision in the end. You choose, truelly. It's like peer pressure. You can say yes, or no. You sir' are not fully correct.
There is no free will. We act upon reactions. Everything we do it a reaction. Everything around us is a reaction. Therefore there is no free will. No will at all really. It is all just reactions.
emotions can be CONTROLLED by changing your train of thoughts. i find it easy to control emotions by clearing your mind or meditating and getting control of your emotions.
When people talk about free will, they're not referring to the complete control over your decision, they're referring to the most control. It's accepted that absolute free will can't exist, you just need to stop looking at this so black and white. Things as complicated as life are seldom black and white.
Free will? Whats that? I believe that people will do anything for money. If you have money, you have a voice, if you don't, your nothing, your a nobody, and you have two choices. To either accept your life how it is, or try to get money. Money can't buy happiness, but damn sure can buy you freedom.
Free will is what we do about it. You may be an angry person, but free will is what makes you go crazy about it, or just try to control yourself, you choose.
free will is the ability to make a choice of one's own volition. an ultimate decision made is the use of that free will. whether or not emotion influenced a decision is irrelevant, because in the end, the decision they make is up to them. we don't have a choice as of whether or not to get thirsty; but we do have the choice to not drink.
Ok this is important. Preachers say God gave us free will. I believe there is no such thing as free will when our actions and choices are influenced by anything. However, the majority of the time that influence is our own emotion or thought. So are we taking away our own free will? And consider this: is it more important to have free will than to have those emotions? And what is free will worth without them?
@dibbydancingdeer1 That's just some idiot wrote. While Onision's videos about his personal life all the time are annoying, he is smart and has good morals.
In my opinion, free will refers to one's ability to chose whether or not to behave a certain way or do something. Yes, we as humans have inclinations to feel certain ways based on emotions and needs, but free will is choosing to act or not act on those impulses. So feeling hungry and eating is you reacting to your body's needs. You choose can to eat but, you don't have to. Free will is not without influence but, its the ability to do as you wish, regardless. That's what makes it "free".
I think we have free will in the sense that we make decisions based on the programming of our own respective experiences. The human mind is a stimulus/response machine. Acting independent from any past or present environmental stimulus doesn't seem possible to me. Even with 'original thought,' it's still just a rehashing of what has already been learned. Even this comment I'm writing right now is just a product of what I've previously been exposed to in my environment.
What's the point, Oni? Most people can barely speak english these days, much less pick up a dictionary to read the meaning of free will. Free will does not exist. With free will we wouldn't even have gravity or DNA to alter our decisions or need things to keep us alive. Free will is a pipe dream. We do have options which are completely different.
hey everyone. with inspiration from Onision i have started my own channel and a speak-like channel. i want you all to come watch my video and rate/comment on it. it would mean alot. my video is a reenactment of how my gf of a yr and 3 months broke up with me. i decided to turn my depression into laughter and a goal like onision has taught me, so please come help me make this possible. thank you
I concur. However it's our free will as to weather or not we act upon most things..i.e. You get a boner. Now It is of your own free will what you do to it. Just an opinion <3 ya
@Acaitia He never told you that you HAD to be vegetarian. He says you should and it's what he believes is right. It's called an influential opinion. Get some.
@Acaitia it is a reaction (type of reaction always varies, of course) of for example, emotional sympathy for animals coming from personality traits developed throughout a lifetime. so no, not exactly.
The fact in general that you're making the decision alone is free will. Regardless if emotions or feelings get involved, those are YOUR feelings therefore the choices you make even if emotionally based are still your own
Because time flows in a set way, as a constant cycle of action-reaction, there is nothing that can change it. Therefor, human choices are just chemical reactions/electrical currents etc, and just part of the flow of time. Therefor free will does not exist.
I got your point, but I think that we have free will in many things of our life. That's what distinguish human beings of animals - the capacity of choosing.
I think you're right that we are limited on free will. I think we have the choice to go run naked in the street, but it doesn't mean we should. We just went against every influence has told us to do. You know?

People today are irresponsible, and are brought up to be so. Free will is a great power, and with great power comes great responsibility (don't mind the cliche).
Well I think free will is based on action rather then they way you were born. Like people have the free will not to, or to do drugs, smoke, steal, cheat, drink, lie, hate, like, love etc etc. Being susceptible to anger, hostility, and other "feelings" us just how you are you don't have a choice to be the way that you were born. You don't choose to be born with green eyes, brown eyes, blue eyes, blonde hair, brown hair, black hair, red hair, big eyes, small eyes, short, tall, whatever. Those are
this is like a justification of a murderer not killing by choice but blaming it on anger or just down right being "crazy" there is free will to an extent
To the extent that we are able to act within our own personal boundries, yes, we have free will. Many people have more free will because they have fewer boundries. A devout christian who happens to be gay may not be able to be with someone they love, so unless they decide to be less devout or leave the church altogether, they have to remain single. Yes, free will is subject to who we are and what out surroundings make us, and it sucks. However, that doesn't have to be the end of the world.
@princeofbohemia "Yes, free will is subject to who we are and what out surroundings make us, and it sucks"
That is actually called determinism, which is opposite of free will. Free will would not have boundaries or influences but simply - if I want to do it, I will do it.
What honestly surprises me is the amount of dislikes. It is very obvious this has absolutely nothing to do with the video they are voting down.
It has something to do with their preconceived notions, with whatever it is they have against Onision for whatever the reason, yet not specifically for the video content.
This is very immature, childish, & stupid. Grow up!
@DavinaFaerie eh no, i have been a subscriber, i don't hate greg but i don't agree with his opinion on this topic, so I can't vote this down? Weird....
@TheFirstBlackEmoKid i dislike something because i want to, get over it. I am saying i don't hate him, my ultimate decision to dislike it has been through a lot of influences, feelings, pre-programmed thoughts and what not. Get over it =)
@TheFirstBlackEmoKid Even with all the influence that is influencing me, I still believe I have made the choice to dislike. The act of it could be accidental, it is really unfortunate when people sound like they know it all when in reality, we are constraint to think with just our brains, in terms of this world, in terms of our world only. There is no true answer to whether we have free will or not, because to determine it, we are thinking it outside bounds of our brain.
I'm shure this has been asked at some point but you always talk about religon but do u still respect peoples choices of chosing religon even though your against it and thoes people who have religon are your fans and support you
So we don't have ANY free will because we are born with a preset body? Which is why, of course, people can choose to not eat, not drink water, not have sex, and could go with what we want or what we don't want.
Just because you have a desire doesn't mean you will always follow through with it. So you have the free will to choose rather you do something or not.
He brings up a valid point. One of my classes this past semester was all about this. It was called Freedom: Philosophy, History, and Law. I think you would have found it very interesting. All and all, what I deducted from the class is no, we don't have complete free will (but it is of course always open for debate).
I really think there can be no right or wrong answer to that since the meaning of free will is abstract. For once, we don't know anything other than our world, using our own little brains to figure things out, seeing, having our own consciousness. I guess I also can see why you categorise yourself with animals since they subject themselves instintually most of the time. I believe there is free will in my little brain, i want to like this video but i choose to dislike it cos i don't agree with u.
@NewAgeTJ So, according to what you just said, if Greg raped someone (I know he wouldn't but just listen) he would still be awesome? You said no matter what. So if he starts eating meat, and kicking babies, he would still be awesome according to your logic. Pick your words more carefully.
LOL seems like a majority of your fans don't know what "free will" means. I guess this is what happens when your demographic are 6th grade level "thinkers".
I know what you mean.. When I get really depressed I can't control it and it causes me to be pretty unmotivated and unproductive.. And it's hard to do anything about it..
Free will is the ability to make a decision without any EXTERNAL influence. If you are influenced by your own emotions it is still your own decision to act on those emotions.
Same with if you're dying of thrist in the desert and you come across a water source. You can choose to not drink because you have free will.
Your emotions are still influenced by the environment, like if you choose not to drink it is because of either how much you value life, society norms, religion, availablility, etc... You have never made a decision that has not been influenced by the environment.
This is one of the few opinions of you that I don't share, but thank you for putting it out there. I appreciate your videos <3 I think "will" can be called free even though it is influenced by whatever.
you cant have free will.... if you give free will too every one in some way you will be taking it away from another ie if you give free will to a rapist you will take it away from a woman/women or men (if he rolls that way i suppose) because they will be petrified of getting raped and or murdered
Some people actually put logic before their emotions, that's part of becoming a mature adult. But even if you are blinded by emotions when you make a decision, YOU still made that choice. That's free will, dude. You're just trying to validate your pa
So true lol when I figured this out,I was pretty pissed how controlled I was, bound to psychological categories of how we are because of influences.It's unavoidable, but there truly isn't free will.We're basically built in a certain way to act the way we act and choose the way we choose. We become who we are with our surroundings and ppl around us, so in the end, we decide on what we've been turned into by everything we've been through. Thats y psychologists can understand ppl really quick.

just because you have feelings, doesn't mean you have to follow what those feelings lead you to, THAT is free will. Like with an alcoholic, they have the feeling that they NEED alcohol, but they can fight that feeling and will themselves not be the way they are...you are a complete moron greg...

I think decisions are made based on the circumstances that the human brain has to suffer. It's our decision to make whether we want to act according to the need or not. As to the existance of the need, I think that's just the natural manifestation of human biology. And about your desert example... think about it - if you wind up thirsty in the desert, it's because you didn't think twice before starting a trip through the desert... of all the places :P

It's true, that sometimes you just FEEL what you feel, with no choice, but most of the time... you have a choice. Kind of like "Choose to turn your cheek, or choose to argue, and perhaps gain even worse/better feelings." So stupid, Greg.

When people talk about free will, they're not referring to the complete control over your decision, they're referring to the most control. It's accepted that absolute free will can't exist, you just need to stop looking at this so black and white. Things as complicated as life are seldom black and white.

free will is the ability to make a choice of one's own volition. an ultimate decision made is the use of that free will. whether or not emotion influenced a decision is irrelevant, because in the end, the decision they make is up to them. we don't have a choice as of whether or not to get thirsty; but we do have the choice to not drink.
eatmydonuts 1 month ago
Ok this is important. Preachers say God gave us free will. I believe there is no such thing as free will when our actions and choices are influenced by anything. However, the majority of the time that influence is our own emotion or thought. So are we taking away our own free will? And consider this: is it more important to have free will than to have those emotions? And what is free will worth without them?

In my opinion, free will refers to one's ability to chose whether or not to behave a certain way or do something. Yes, we as humans have inclinations to feel certain ways based on emotions and needs, but free will is choosing to act or not act on those impulses. So feeling hungry and eating is you reacting to your body's needs. You choose can to eat but, you don't have to. Free will is not without influence but, its the ability to do as you wish, regardless. That's what makes it "free".

I think we have free will in the sense that we make decisions based on the programming of our own respective experiences. The human mind is a stimulus/response machine. Acting independent from any past or present environmental stimulus doesn't seem possible to me. Even with 'original thought,' it's still just a rehashing of what has already been learned. Even this comment I'm writing right now is just a product of what I've previously been exposed to in my environment.

What's the point, Oni? Most people can barely speak english these days, much less pick up a dictionary to read the meaning of free will. Free will does not exist. With free will we wouldn't even have gravity or DNA to alter our decisions or need things to keep us alive. Free will is a pipe dream. We do have options which are completely different.

Well I think free will is based on action rather then they way you were born. Like people have the free will not to, or to do drugs, smoke, steal, cheat, drink, lie, hate, like, love etc etc. Being susceptible to anger, hostility, and other "feelings" us just how you are you don't have a choice to be the way that you were born. You don't choose to be born with green eyes, brown eyes, blue eyes, blonde hair, brown hair, black hair, red hair, big eyes, small eyes, short, tall, whatever. Those are

To the extent that we are able to act within our own personal boundries, yes, we have free will. Many people have more free will because they have fewer boundries. A devout christian who happens to be gay may not be able to be with someone they love, so unless they decide to be less devout or leave the church altogether, they have to remain single. Yes, free will is subject to who we are and what out surroundings make us, and it sucks. However, that doesn't have to be the end of the world.

@princeofbohemia "Yes, free will is subject to who we are and what out surroundings make us, and it sucks"

So we don't have ANY free will because we are born with a preset body? Which is why, of course, people can choose to not eat, not drink water, not have sex, and could go with what we want or what we don't want.
Just because you have a desire doesn't mean you will always follow through with it. So you have the free will to choose rather you do something or not.

I really think there can be no right or wrong answer to that since the meaning of free will is abstract. For once, we don't know anything other than our world, using our own little brains to figure things out, seeing, having our own consciousness. I guess I also can see why you categorise yourself with animals since they subject themselves instintually most of the time.

noun

2.
the doctrine that the conduct of human beings expresses personal choice and is not simply determined by physical or divine forces.
