that's more of a psychological thing imo than anything else, how do you conceptualize the loss of free will you as a /pol/fag might just see it as democracy

Ever read a book where you are the hero as a kid? Life is the same. Everything is already written. Your choices decide wich page you go and how the story will play but there is also some part that are unskipable events that you'll go through no matter what.

there is something pathologically wrong with people who say no free will.
either they are dumb and do not understand what "will" is and liken it to the holy spirit , of all things, able to perform miracles and shit.
or they are sociopaths who love dominating , controling and manipulating others.
or perhaps they are jaded cynics.

Every thing you do and all your thoughts are simple reactions to something, theres no such thing as free will, you were lied to
>>
>>472832984
Exactly. We're all bound by consequences of cause and effect
>>
>>472832984
except we can react to our own reactions through introspection.
we can plan and envision possible futures.
we can plant seeds today that we may harvest more seed three months hence.
we can, with enough will, quit doing addictive things.
the reaction cycle is recursive.
we can be made aware of it , and we can modify it.
free will aint free energy and if you live on auto pilot then yes its just a vicious cycle of reacting to emvironment like a typical habit.
free will doesnt exist without enough energy and support from your community.

Man can do what he wills, but he cannot will what he wills. Transcendental freedom is the freedom to do what one wills, or not to do it at all.

yes this cause and effect cycle is an inevitability.
everything has a reaction.
but we may choose how to react to it.
even if its through microexpressions.
saying no free will becuase cause and effect exists is a very retard take and it smacks of jewish slave ship rhetoric and muslim caliphate slave markets.
>>
>>472833756
>but we may choose how to react to it.
Free will isn't about the ability to make a choice, but why you made it and the consequences thereafter. Demonstrate a will free from consequences

Microexpressions are involuntary, in fact you are enslaved by hormones and emotions
>>
>>472833862
circular reasoning.
we just established we cant escape our causal universe.
things are simultaeniously apprehended.
we and our wills exist in time.
youre redefining the problem
free will is the ability to make a choice.
a free will as in free from consequences would be a schizophrenic billionaire king.
just becuase we know why someone made a choice doesnt make it any less free.
its like the principle of the uniformity of nature
you understand it at core level.
that you can bank on the fact that the sun will rise tomorrow.
but semantically we dont actually know that the sun will rise tomorrow , we have this faith that it will.
in morality theres three things to consider
the means, the ends and the motive.
and you are saying a moral choice is free depending on two out of the three.
if i have free will do i only get one attempt to make a choice or do i get a second or third chance to learn from my mistakes?
which choice is more free?
the first nieve one or the last one where i learned from my previous choices?
>>
>>472834158
theres only a few people who can correctly point out microexpressions.
cognitive spillage or overload or whatever you call it attributed to microexpressions.
means we can atleast control the extent to which we react.
once we know we are controled by emotions we can better understand our behaviours .
the best weapon against social engineering is the awareness of it.
>>
>>472834310

matthew broderick killed two people in a drunk driving accident becuase he chose to drink and drive.

He wasn't free from consequences, nor the people he affected.

your definition of free will is dehumanizing and set up to fail.
becuase after youve moved the goal posts so far we need to invent an a causal universe or where mental processes are magic.
the anti free will jigger shit is part of a larger agenda.
we do have free will as bounded in a causal universe with time as a driving factor.

I disagree. Once you really understand how impactful your choices are then you learn to make better choices and create a better environment to make better choices that have the most optimal outcomes aka consequences

Threadly reminder that "causation" is a purely metaphysical construct. Nothing has ever been shown to "cause" anything empirically. Moreover, the dissection of a spatial and temporal continuum into supposedly discrete elements is both approximate and subjective. "Cause and effect" is an analysis tool, not a demonstrably property of reality. Sometimes it is useful, sometimes it demonstrably isn't. No one has ever managed to account for complex human decisions in terms of cause and effect nor will they ever be able to.

This is a person who has never fasted. Who has never abstained. Who has never practiced self-discipline.

To be human is to have self-mastery. It is to choose. There are those who trundle through existence following every urge, whim and instinct; driven by hormones and chemical reactions, slaves the animal that is their body. Then there are those who deny the animal and choose for themselves. Your will is a muscle, and you build it up by denying your urges and instincts.

NPCs have little to no self-awareness so they can't conceptualize how conscious reflection about your own decision-making feeds back into the decision-making process, so they don't see how utterly inapplicable their linear A->B->C->... reasoning is.

Abstaining is feminine. A true man of value can do whatever he wants, because he defines himself by other things rather than his conduct. All true heroes are flawed.

I don't care enough about you or anyone else to be a slim vegetarian who doesn't drink. Fuck all of you. I'm going to eat a steak, then down a six-pack and tomorrow i'm going to break a new PR in the gym. Fuck your bug lifestyle.

Btw I know that I can do it, because I was skelly mode myself when I was 20 and started living alone. It wasn't worth it. My desires are worth more than what you think of me.

Pic related, people are going to tell you that women are manly, because they can abstain from eating food kek.

Either the universe is deterministic or it's not. On a macro scale, it appears to be the former. On a quantum scale, the latter. Whether it be subatomic billiard balls in your brain rolling around on a table according to physical laws, or the same balls rolling around at random, how does that translate to you having "will"?

>>472836654
Am I denying my urges because I have an urge to deny the urge? It's an interesting question. I do not think I can know for sure.

However, I can know for sure that if I am living on auto-pilot, eating when I feel hungry, jerking off when I feel horny, shouting and swearing when I feel angry, and so on; that I am definitely am simply reacting to my urges.

Given a choice between the two, the former seems more likely to be a path to genuine free will, so I will pursue that path. It could be that chemical reactions or unseen powers are forcing me in that direction; but while that is a possibility with the life-style that includes self-denial, it is a certainty in the life-style that does not.

quantum machanics is a thing becuase scientists cant deal with uncertainty, so they figured out a way to quantify it.
thus quantum mechanics.
you read to many pop sci articles and headlines.
and place too much authority on scientists becuase you think they are smart, when alot of them are just status fuckers trying to get a pay check.
free will doesnt exist in a lab.
its all abtracted away to fit conclusions.
>>
>>472836598
The fact that I cannot control everything does not mean that I cannot control anything. If your definition of truly being free means that you can transform into a dinosaur at will, then no, you are not that 'free'; but if it means that, when confronted with a branching path, you can choose which you descend down ... that is a harder question to answer.

If free will is real, then the easiest way to perceive it in my opinion is by addressing our bodily urges. We all feel the urge to eat, or to get angry, or to go to the toilet. Without thinking, these urges drive our actions. Can we deny these urges and thus alter our actions? We can.

This shows some level of control, of self-determination, of 'free will'. Another can argue that we only denied those urges because of another urge, a compulsion borne of chemical reactions or unseen powers; and that I cannot argue against, but by pursuing the path of self-denial I have found a good change in my own life, and many others have too.

if we can learn to make the right choices then sure we can eventually get to the point of an acausal choice as long as its the right one

>addressing our bodily urges. We all feel the urge to eat, or to get angry, or to go to the toilet. Without thinking, these urges drive our actions. Can we deny these urges and thus alter our actions? We can.

>>472838282
>Am I denying my urges because I have an urge to deny the urge? It's an interesting question. I do not think I can know for sure.
No, you deny your urges because you consider many different factors and this modifies and informs your sense of desirability of a potential course of action. There exist higher-level drivers of behavior than urges, and these clearly have two-way interactions with metacognition. Trying to analyze such processes in terms of chains of causation produces so many unresolvable chicken and egg problems that only a moron will fail to get the clue that his conceptual model is flawed.
>>
>>472838840
>i argue you must make a choice
Based on a cause or causes for desired effects/outcomes aka consequences
>learning is a choice.
Based on cuase and effect, which we are bound too and anything bound isn't truly free
>>
>>472838623
Notice that I accounted for both outcomes in my post. If QM is fake and gay, then the particles that make up our brain behave deterministically, so no room for free will either.

Only way to have free will is to invoke a soul not restricted by causality, which you can't demonstrate empirically.

I agree, I think its only idiotic pedants and God-haters seeking to deny the guilt they feel who make these arguments, but people do make those arguments.

In my view we do have free will and by practicing self-denial we gain ever greater mastery and become less reactionary, and are then more able to consider our true goals, and then align our actions to the pursuit of those goals.

Not really as with your example with Narcan leads people to make bigger and bolder choices to do more, eventually killing them. It's what happens when former addicts go back to taking hits their used too and end up killing themselves. See Brad Newell from Sublime

Yep. When you start regarding yourself and others as glorified automatons puppeteered by external circumstances, you gradually forfeit your psychological capacity to take control, making you helpless and predictable.

if you notice that you dont choose your thoughts or impulses and are honest about it, that doesnt make you anything but an honest introspective person.
also, thinking that creatures have agency when they dont leads to hatred.
e.g. if I think jews "choose" to act like kikes, I will hate them. just like if I think niggers choose to be nasty criminal apes - they could be rocket scientists, but they just choose to be fucking niggers, I will hate them. I dont hate ticks because I don't imagine they could be harmless.
feeling bad due to not noticing how reality is is a completely avoidable source of suffering.
I can want jews, nigs and race traitors to be happy even if I fight against them, the same way i can want a tapeworm to be happy as I defend myself from it by killing it.

Cool story, but what I want to see is some empirical evidence of this "cause and effect" and "determinism" free will deniers typically base their claims on.
>>
>>472829948
The universe is deterministic by the laws of physics, there is no free will, only the illusion of free will. The present is a direct causal effect of the past. The way humans evolved and interact with the world gives a sensation of meaningful choice and there is about 40 milisecond visual, touch, audio sensory delay so we only really experience the past around us.

nigger you cant choose to stop thinking or to stop having an impulse to do something. you cant sit still for an hour and not have a thought or an impulse to move. you cant choose your feelings or your choose to be happy all the time.
if you can't do any of that, clearly you dont control anything.
if you look for this "you" that you assume has existed across time - eg you when you were young vs you right now, you will realize this you doesnt exist - it isnt a thing. yet your i/me/my thoughts are about a "you" (aka "self") that exists across time.
if this makes sense to you you would agree - there is no self or free will.
If you disagree you haven't paid attention and are just spewing your argumentative thoughts like a nigger chimping out.
>>
>>472842625
>not to test whether or not things randomly pop into existence
Something popping into existence with no apparent cause satisfies this condition until it can be proven otherwise, retard. It's a specific case of a general principle; you only need one example to falsify something. Now, does this conclusively prove that the thing that popped into existence was uncaused? No, as there could be a cause you haven't yet been able to detect. But that's the nature of the empirical process and inductive reasoning.

nigger the fact you had an impulse to fast for a while doesnt mean you have agency. that's just an illusion.

a nigger will get an impulse to grab his crotch. he will grab his muh dick and say, that be my proof of free will. I chose to grab muh dick.
when he had the impulse to grab his muh dick - and couldn't stop - because he is a stupid nigger. and he didnt choose to be born a nigger. it just happened because two niggers had the niggerish impulse to fuck and a baby nigger resulted.

you cant sit still and not have thoughts, impulses or feelings. e.g. try to sit still, dont have thoughts, dont have impulses to move and be happy.
you want do it. that's the evidence you dont have the ability to choose your thoughts, impilsesbor feelings.
I am not talking about concepts of causality. I am just proving that theres no agnecy.
while you sit down and pay attention, you might notice that this "I" you think about doesnt exist like your body or the floor under your feet - it is not a thing. it is a concept that you imagine and care about.
meanwhile a nigger, call him Nigtavious, thinks about his "self" and does a bunch of nigger things (e.g. steals and rapes) to take care of his self .
a small amount of introspection will demonstrate that "free will" (a sep!rate self choosing things separately from the rest if the universe) - which is what most imagine they have - is a shitty illusion.
it is a bit like your blind spot (cause by your optic nerve) - you dont notice it normally, but can pay attention while doing an experiment and readily see it.

Who would you rather trust.

1. Free will believer who has to constantly and actively "choose" not to rape or murder you.
2. Determinism believer who doesn't suffer with having to make those choices in the first place. They simply don't have the propensity, proclivity, predisposition, capacity, or capability to commit such an act. It simply isn't their nature.

The idea that human behavior comes down to "personal responsibility" and "free will" and not race and genes is responsible for desegregation, mass immigration, and race mixing.

How is something free if it has a cost?
>>
>>472845264
if you spend time around a guy with tourette's and hate him for his ticks, you are suffering because you have an erroneous belief that he has agency.
similarly, info out you in a room with a rope and you misoerceive it as a snake, that's your misperception leading to suffering.
seeing through the shitty illusion of agency is powerful and liberating, and typically ends about 95% of most people's suffering.
people spend their lives trying to be happy- that's why jews and niggers steal, why race traitors betray their race, etc.
if more people saw through the illusion of self they might annoy the rest of us less.

The sun "comes up" every morning.

Best we can do is weather forecast and particle experiments at the moment.

>>472846353

Think of your favorite color. Why is it your favorite color? Is it because it "deserves" it? Is it because it "earned" your respect? Is it because it "put in more work" than the other colors? No, even though capitalism and free will requires you to believe so.

you cant choose to be smart and wise. nor can you choose to be happy. you'll just do this until you have an impulse to do something else. them you'll think, "I" chose to do that, of my own free will.

i said free will takes time becuase
1.the universe is nonsimultaeniously apprehended

the cost of a new favorite color seems pretty trivial. as far as consequences go. it one of the more inconsequential ones.

That your decisions are made freely is the greatest illusion.
>>
>>472846231
no - it is cold and utilitarian. e.g. we dont get angry at bacteria and angrily kill them. same for tapeworms. jews and niggers are like tapeworms - we protect ourselves from them.
some of us may have angry impulses to punish them, rooted in the erroneous belief that Jiztavion could choose to not rape, or that Shlomo could choose to not run that $100 million insurance scam.
the sages among us realize that none of us choose our experience and nonetheless make the best decision he can.
stupid Christians typically believe in free will and the necessity of agency to run a justice system. neonazis don't need those erroneous beliefs- we just accept reality as it is and do our best.

Because of all the causes and effects one has to consider when making this "free" choice

The statement wasn't if it's "trivial" but that there is a cost regardless. Whucb you acknowledge there is. So, how is something free if there is a cost?

Nothing popping into existence without a prior cause is literally determinism. The point of the test is to falsify it, remember? That's what you asked for. So if you find something popping into existence uncaused, then determinism has been falsified. What more do you want?

If you speak of karma then it is definitely metaphysical goods, charity can be replaced by selflessness (detachment of egoistic effect) and money by selfishness (personnal gain from effect).
Then again karma is subjective, what is favorable to one is depreciable for another.

Still a cost and therfore not truly free. They are negligible but they aren't free

The argument against free will isn't an argument against free will. In 99.9% of cases, it isn't a sincerely crafted argument, it's a case that the person arguing wants to justify their immoral behavior.
"Yes, I robbed a bank - I couldn't not do it! We have no free will."
"Yes, I molested a child - I couldn't not do it! We have no free will."
"Yes, I murdered a human being - I couldn't not do it! We have no free will."

This is classic Talmudic Jewish thinking where they obsess and fantasize about outwitting God. No different than beating a chicken or putting up eruv wires.
>>
>>472847047
a lot of people get upset when someone like me points out that they and others dont have free will.
the bad feelings are rooted in the thoughts like, "i do control things. e.g. I am choosing to scratch my itch... he is wrong I am right."
the illusion of a self a mind agency - even though it is a shitty illusion - most evident in the case of grandiose niggers who think they choose to like malt liquor and fried chicken because they are intrinsically awesome - gets humans to survive and procreate. so it is natural that people misperceive things.
e.g. men interpret ambiguous signals from women as evidence the women want to fuck. this misperception is incorrect but helps men to pass on their genes. they dont choose to misperceive. it serves a purpose.
similarly, your belief in agency probably gets you to live a life that doesnt look like Diogenes's. e.g you wear nice clothes or work a job.
that's where the no free will types often wind up - they dont give a shit anymore.

I am not traumatized when I notice I am not choosing my next, thought, impulse or feeling. same thing when I watch a dog or a nigger or jew do the next thing, without choosing to do the most dog, nigger or kike thing.
you sound triggered because I have argued convincingly that living beings dont have agency.
as I previously explained this is rooted in the self and its thoughts about agency, and the feeling that it matters.
you believe your thoughts are true so you suffer. e.g. you dislike me because you believe your thoughts.
niggers are the same.
he be raciss. fuck dat cracker.
niggers don't notice - they exist because the white man happened upon fertilizer and provided food to make more niggers. rather than being grateful for existing niggers present white people- because they have nigger thoughts and believe those thoughts.

No act is possible to take which depends on the circumstances. If it did it would be an impossible act and not an act at all.

He's right tho, your trauma is part of your environment. You're free to chose what is part of your environment and regulate how you'll be more likely to react to stimuli.
You're not any living being, you're one that evolves in an environment that is defined through complex conventional abstractions.

That's demonstrably false. I go to work (an act) to depend on the money it pays me (consequences/circumstances)

Those consequences are obviously not relevant to the possibility of the act.

like those systems people make that are supposed to go on forever.
but they always loose energy and will eventually stop.

i mean if you want to couch free will in terms of a no cost choice thats impossible becuase you and your brain needs calories and protiens and fats and salts to make those choice lest you die from exposure.
what about a negative cost action?
like that one time oil was -40 dollars a barrell.

Free-will is logically an illusion from both a theistic perspective, as in >>472847603, as well as from a secular materialist perspective where all of reality is simply a link of causality
