Free Will: the poll!

[smmudge]

by everything & nothing.

saying 'for what?' suggests it needs a reason. why do you think it needs a reason?

How very nihilistic!

Maybe free will doesn't exist, but given the fact we have the ability to reason, I'll use it!

yeah, people might have rational behind what they do. but what i meant was,
if there is something thats causing things to be predetermined, that thing is going to be beyond human reason and it doesnt need a rational behind what it does. it just does its thing.

just wikied nihilism, sounds a bit like me. i dont think what they are saying is absolutely true tho

(a) it is only possible to believe this before you die

at the moment of death, or perhaps sometime shortly before, it becomes impossible to hold this belief


(b) the rest of your life is only going to go one way, just as the life you have lived since you were born has only gone one way

You big silly, you!


(a) you assume too much about what death is.

(b) errr, the whole argument about fate, knowing fate, not knowing fate, errr, free will and that.

and (c) it has only GONE one way and will only HAVE GONE one way, but it CAN GO many ways from each moment. You are having your cake and eating it.
