  • Free will exists due to our ability to judge and evaluate before we act upon our desires. Specifically, let's distinguish between freedom of action and freedom of will by asserting that the former concerns what one wants to do whereas the latter goes deeper and relates to one wanting to want what one does want...

  • The girl in this video is very beautiful. I am in love with her look. 

  • 1 We weigh our options and choose those which we anticipate will benefit ourselves.

    2 Our values and priorities.

    3 If we define free will as simply the ability of choice, then yes we have it. Though philosophically or maybe even neurologically, if our ability of choice is merely the behavior of our motives then we are, in a way, enslaved by ourselves. If we want to do the right thing, then we are adherents to our concept of right, minions to it.

  • i like your videos and i would like to recommend that you give a bit more thought on the title of your videos in order to take advantage of the search feature of youtube so that you can get more exposure :). Take care

  • u posted this on my birthday O:

  • It's still there for me.

  • Looks like the Milgram Experiment has been removed from YT .....Karma police !...

  • we talked about the milgram expirament in sociology, that is crazy what what people do under the right amount of authority

  • I honestly don't believe in freewill. I don't believe we really think for ourselves. What happens is, over time we see the world from a certain perspective based on whats happened in our lives particularly, not anyone elses. That's why people differ in opinions. What we choose to do, and act is based on who we've become through experience. This is what I think.

  • The influence that is made on our will derives from social and cultural constructs. However severe consequences there may be, our will is still that of our own, it is just influenced by our dissonance towards the alternative. You could kill someone, no matter what you think, one is physically able to kill someone, whether or not they do however, is based on their willingness to act.
