Robots debate Free Will

One robot disses another which sparks a philosophical debate about moral responsibility and free will.

The green robot argues that determinism is true, free will is false, and that moral responsibility depends on the existence of free will.

The blue robot argues that free will may be true, but it doesn't matter because it is not necessary for moral responsibility.

We make our decisions based on our values.

Our values reflect our personality

Our personality is in our Pre-Frontal Cortext

Our brain is determined by our DNA

Free Will...FAIL. LOgical FaiL.

@HedgehogRebellion So.... are you trying to demonstrate a logical fail?

[HedgehogRebellion]

@herald1509

You can't always be first....

But you can always be next.

What part of my chain of reasoning did you find faulty?

[herald1509]

@HedgehogRebellion I guess I just didn't understand what you were getting at with the "logical fail". Although, I do recommend the use of a syllogism if you are trying to prove something, and I don't think all our brain's thoughts are due to our DNA. I'd say environment also has a role, and there's the possibility of random decisions.

@DougCameraMan I'll go u one better...we have no Free Will...it's ALL God's will.

Epic Ending :)

@herald1509 Our brain stores our experiences as memories. That is HOW our environment shapes us.

These memories are accessed by the areas of our brain that perform higher functions such as decision making. The memories relevant to the decision o be made therefore affect the making of the decision, and therefore our behaviour.

But the brain has already been wired bydna to have its own style of interreting the events that are stored as memories, how they are encoded, and how they are accessed.
