No

No, and it is inevitable that slide threads are posted by idiots.
Ian Cruz
No. Science says no and religion says no.
Carter Rodriguez
define what you mean by free will.
Nolan Baker
Nihilism is a hopeless road.
I don't know what humans have. I believe in the total predestination of the universe, but that somehow our choices are still our own because we play those actions out based on our desires.

Fags will say no, based on the predetermined personal genes a d sensory input they've received in their lives...
Good job faggots. You made a circular logical fallacy.
Michael Ramirez
Free will does exist. Whenever you choose to browse pol for just 1 more hour instead of taking that shit that has been brewing for hours, you are exercising "free will."
Within the human context, "Free Will" is our ability to override our biological needs for our psychological wants.

Only for 10% of the population at best.
Christopher Hall
It wouldent matter if it did, and since the lack of meaning will slowly madden the individual and society at large given enough time its just better to suppose it exsists. Kind of like God.

Everyone point and laugh at the retard
Jack Robinson
Maybe
Aaron Sullivan
Yes. Consciousness is a break from causality.
Levi Hall
It doesn't matter.
Jayden Smith
You are saying that we are slave of our desires yet not predestined?
Does not compute.
Lincoln Martin
nothing we think exists exists. Our words are just symbols or models, and as one man said "all models are wrong, but some are useful". Your idea of something will never be that thing. And free will? Our brains evolved to broduce exceedingly complicated reactions to stimuli, is that free will? Or does free will have to be the result of your thoughts as an independent person? because that person isn't independent from anything else.
Brandon Thomas
Depends on how you define freewill.
Chase Campbell
does it really matter?
Dominic Stewart
Yes there is free will, otherwise, the entirety of human experience becomes nonsense. The faculty of reason requires free will

>Compatibilists believe that as long as our Mind is one cause in the causal chain that we can be responsible for our actions, however they also believe every cause, including our decisions, are pre-determined.
Nor I really
>But who are you o man
Lucas Butler
You think you have freewill, but there are people who think you, our we are all to stupid to use it, so they have to manage what we think. You should study that.

Read Edward Bernays' "Propaganda:"
"Universal literacy was supposed to educate the common man to control his environment. Once he could read and write he would have a mind fit to rule. So ran the democratic doctrine. But instead of a mind, universal literacy has given him rubber stamps, rubber stamps linked with advertising slogans, with editorials, with published scientific data, with the trivialities of the tabloids and the platitudes of history, but quite innocent of original thought. Each man’s rubber stamps are the duplicates of millions of others, so that when those millions are exposed to the same stimuli, all receive identical imprints. "
"Crystallizing Public Opinion," and his essay "The Engineering of Consent."
I then took it a step farther and read the authors Bernays actually quoted in his books (he didn't quote Freud), Everett Dean Martin "Behavior of Crowds," and W. Trotter "The Herd in Peace and in War."
I would also strongly recommend Edward Bernays' colleague Walter Lippmann's book, "Public Opinion." Lippmann coined the term the "Manufacture of Consent." youtu.be

The faculty of the will and reason
Thomas Howard
No or wait yes, no I mean no
or do I mean yes
I can't decide if only I had free will.
>or do I?
Bentley Parker
Only I have it.
Gabriel Fisher
Nope. Op is a faggot dick sucker, as always.
Elijah Foster
In your first post you said that you believe the universe is predestined, but somehow say that our desires are not since we are actors.
This is paradoxical, if there is destiny therefore there is no free-will, only the illusion of it.
Answer this simple question:
Do you control your desires?
Carson Martin
No you are a slave to your experience, genetic makeup, and unconscious biases. If any one were to experience another persons life with no previous knowledge of their old life, they would make the exact same decisions as the person they are imitating.
Caleb Evans
Freedom can be it's own prison
