Hilarious!

We're all slaves to our own brain chemicals & emotional instincts, eh? Puppets bound by "what is in our nature"?

If that were true;

We'd murder everyone who cuts us off in traffic,

have sex with every person we find attractive,

always eat the worst, yet best tasting food known to man,

drink like fishes and smoke like trains.

To say people aren't in control of themselves, spits in the faces of faithful spouses, recovering alcoholics and others who CHOOSE the right path every day.

its better to be spontaneous.

We have free will in my opinion. I won't argue with anyone who believes otherwise, they are free to think what they want. If you lose your job you can either chose to start a small business using what you have and know or choose to become homeless among many other potential choices. Our decisions are limited by the resources we have on hand but the limitations still allow for many many possible paths. Our brain is just storage space for information. We do what we want with it, it's a tool.

@TranceViper Regardless of the implications, we do not have freedom of choice. Our brains are objects. The way our brains work and their shapes create our choices. Our brains are merely a product of genetics and environment.

lol! In Hungary not even the nationalists would call a blonde girl with light skin color a gypsy.

Trying to explain this idea to people is often very difficult for me. You explained it perfectly :P I think most people don't want to even consider this idea because they think it belittles their existence. I don't see why it would...

[KenTankerous]

Free will is our egotistical attempt to exert control over our lives where none exists.

I lovelovelove this video, as I do most of your stuff. But this one is in my top five!

Keep bringing it C! I love it!!! and the world needs it.

@zeryahu That quote never made any sense to me. This would mean inanimate objects do not exist.

@TranceViper She is not saying that we are reduced to biological instincts, there are psycological factors that are caused by other psycological factors and other biological instincts
