Ever since I was a kid and heard people talking about free will, I KNEW that scientifically, intuiitively, there could be no such thing as free will in the clockwork of the Universe. Subjectively we have free will, but objectively we are animated by physics to do what we do, objectively we do not have free will. That seems so obvious. This is exactly why I say that human beings are not intelligent ... our intelligence is in our society, but selfish, greedy people stifle the connection and influence of all the parts of society so that on a global level we are unintelligent and even self-destruction ... hence the world situation today. Further, I think that our human understanding of the emergent properties of the Universe might be the reason societies have some kind of religion. Rest In Peace Daniel Kahneman.

You don't have to like it, and theoretically they were responsible for allowing themselves to become inhuman.

@bobwilliams4895 I don't think that is a productive way of looking at it.

@zoomingby It just is. Free will "seems" real, but so does our egos, and ourselves, it is a subjective illusion, but it is really just the river running downstream.

@zoomingby Why do you interpret what I said as believing in free will. There is a morality in human behavior, that comes from our life's programming, so to speak. It's the wonder of life. The more we are exposed to positivity in life, the more we create a world where positivity reigns. It is a slow process, like erosion, that which work, survives ... like with evolution - it's bahavioral evolution and it works even within a human life. Accept it or react against it, it doesn't matter if you have control over it, or if someone else does or doesn't, what matters is results.

@zoomingby Are you trying to express an idea or to just be a troll? I think there are limitations in the language such that if you want to just contradict instead of argue it's a loser's game. See Monty Python.

Some people have more and better strings on their existential puppet-selves.
