The free will debate is also NOT a meaningless debate at all, and one does not have to act like free will exists. There is much that relies on whether we have free will or not --- as a base understanding. This includes ethical responsibility, economics, criminology (retrobutivism vs rehabilitation), psychology, blame and being more worthy than others, and so much more. It is one of the most important questions we can ask.

Thanks.

They are all succeptable to the causal/acausal dichotomy. Either an event (ANY event) happens via a cause or it does not. If it happens via a cause, it is forced by that cause, and that cause is forced by the cause that precedes it, etc. It can never be free. If an event comes about acausality, it cannot be willed in any way (because a willer is required). Free will is a LOGICAL absurdity, and the argument against it is not reliant on materialism.

This is one of the worst arguments I've seen refuting lack of free will. "No evidence that conciousness is a product of matter". The logical fallacy here is "shift the burden of proof". The default position has to be that conciousness is a product of matter and the burden of proof lies on someone claiming otherwise. It's identical to the argument, 'You can't prove god doesn't exist, so he does exist'. This argument is just as bad as the religious argument he discarded just previously.

@drattiswhereitsat wow i just read your message a year later <.< now i am 18 but i re watched your video i understand it more know but i also understand your advice be true what i think is the best way to improve my life even though others might not view it that way and be open to another ways of improving

I've also noticed among certain free will philosophers that there is an undue focus on the mechanics of how things work, which is equated with determinism. This is incorrect. Mechanics only tells us the inner workings of things but not don't point to determinism. This mistake is made not only by philosophers, but material scientists. Daniel Wegner is one example.

First of all, I don't see how free will and everything else outside of conspiracy theories are unimportant. I would think that they should be the highest of issues being discussed. What if solipsits are right? If nothing exists, then would that not have more of an impact on our lives than the ecomony and every other thing that isn't even real? Also, could you make a video on your opinion of suicide?

Hey i buy you a decent microphone if you promise to use it. Deal?

[jaalul]

free will is not the right "thing" to say, but rather free choice.

I personally dont believe we have either one. I explain this in my video without being too technical.

cheers.

@SouljahForLove ....Rather than pursuing truth, knowledge, and the light in all situations. I think all topics and all subjects of ALL arenas of knowledge should be explored in order for us to advance as a whole... no matter how "pointless, meaningless, or mundane" these topics may appear to those of us with higher levels of awareness.....
