Free Will | Sam Harris

Morning cappuccino & a book before I go off to meet up with my sister- such a gorgeous day- not a cloud in the sky, bright blue, interrupted only by the yellows,reds, oranges, & browns of the trees. #philosophy #adventuresinphilosophy #freewill
Will be back later today to check in with #buddyreads

kspenmoll This book is so small but I feel like I am flailing in the dark. My initial idea was no, animals do not have free will but then I think of all the bears roaming around -how do they choose which garbage can to get into? Smell? Past success? Some of my cats behaviors seem to be habit, but what about when they choose to show up for a snuggle- its not predictable & not about food. So are they making some choices/ free will lead decisions? 🤯🤔😺🥴 1d

kspenmoll And what about the sea,trees,plants that nurture us as we nurture them.I feel such a part of the earth,life when I am in the sea, by the sea, gardening-I have missed my connection to my garden because i have not been able to be in it since the spring of 2023 when my shoulder caused intense pain-right handed,right shoulder/bicep surgery 9/7/23.My surgeon thinks I will be able to really dig etc next spring. Does my garden feel my abandonment? 1d

kspenmoll Free will ? All sentient beings? 1d

Hitler's People: The Faces of the Third Reich | Richard J Evans

#freewill #SamHarris #philosophy

Really?! “ lacked free will”? Thoughts?

TheBookHippie, Chrissyreadit, JaclynW, GingerAntics, ravenlee, bnp, RavenLovelyReads, AlaSkaat

Chrissyreadit I would say lacked integrity, courage, humanity…. 1w

TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit Exactly. It was a CHOICE. You always have a choice. They CHOSE. Pure evil. 1w

AlaSkaat @TheBookHippie agree ! I always said, even if there‘s a gun to your head, you still choose. Maybe the gun influences your choice but ultimately you decide. Maybe we can‘t decide something we don‘t know exist, but those examples people use, it‘s never hard to see they consciously decided what to do 7d

AlaSkaat When he talks of our bodies working for us, rather than us making those decisions. Do we decide to get sick? It reminded me of law of attraction, where people ‘cured‘ their illness 7d

AlaSkaat This part was very interesting to me! Do criminals really not get that ‘shouldn‘t do this‘ thought at all? Does it really not occur to people not to do something that can harm others? 7d

AlaSkaat His example with water got me thinking. It seems like at any available moment, we have only a few selected thoughts/choices entering our brain. When thinking of what to drink, we don‘t automatically think ‘pickle juice‘ right? Why? Something has to happen for us to think of it. Water and thirst has a connection in our mind. But we‘re still free to think/drink whatever but why doesn‘t it cross our mind? 7d

AlaSkaat So I‘d say we are ‘free‘ to make that choice, but are we able to? 7d

AlaSkaat That‘s an interesting question. I‘d say it‘s because they were exposed to new experiences which allows them to make new thoughts/choices that in turn allows them to act differently. And yet, some people who have done this, have done so just on their own, simply by having had enough. So nothing ‘new‘ came into play. The ‘had enough‘ - is that new? Or is it that they all felt it but only one felt they could do something about it? What was different? (edited) 7d

AlaSkaat He said ‘I‘m not free to do which does not occur to me‘ which is what we‘ve already said in past posts. You can‘t do what you don‘t know exist. But how do people know they can leave a bad situation then, if everyone else in the past stayed? Even if they met someone who left and it opened up their mind to that, how did THAT person know they can do that? 7d
