Free Will - Me, myself and I

Part 3 in an ever expanding series which *might* lead us to find free will in a materialistic and deterministic universe.

And if it doesn't, at least we had an interesting trip.

The video was a bit too long so I had to speed it up a bit. At least the software I'm using doesn't cause that chipmunk effect so it should be bearable.

My answer to "what are you looking at?" was; "an image of you on my monitor".

:/

If I touch a hot item my arm is jerked away fast to avoid getting burnt. I am interacting with the environment. But, that is not consciousness or free will, because the signal comes from the top of the spine not the brain and we do not attribute consciousness to that area.

Just thought I'd mention that to cloud the issue a bit.

Good point.

Some people want free will to be something that cannot exist and that would be pointless if it did.

Nice one.

About the software of the mind running on the hardware of brain.

All the cells in your body are replaced all the time, so the the hardware actually changes several times during life, including the brain.

In other words; we are not the stuff we are made off.

[rozeboosje]

Exactly. We're the patterns, not the stuff :-)

[yupiie]

that seems interesting.

Thanks. Why is this vid set to comment approval!? Better go fix that.

well. im not looking at you, i see you. but i see you in my mind, i am connecting with your mind.

in essence i am experiencing your thoughts just the way you did, in other words... by watching and listening to this pattern, i am experiencing you first hand. im am understanding you by for a short time suppressing my mind and allowing yours to enter.

i am looking at you, except i am looking from the inside out, and i shall continue to look as long as my mind retains your minds imprint.

[rozeboosje]

Thank you. I'll check that out.
