There’s a new meme called “excellent use of free will” which shows people doing things out of the ordinary.
The meme is good because it reminds people that yes you do in fact have free will. Despite what loser midwits like Sam Harris would have you believe.
You can just do things.
I get irritated with this words “ you can just do things “
At first it was fun as it involved small simple things you do around you, such as trimming the roses, clean the kitchen, wash the floor, make special dinner ( as this based self decision, man don't need to
Consult anybody for doing things )
When you work for corporate with big structure organization, “ you can not just do things “
Everything have hierachi of seniority, in which the decision maker is on top of the chain command.
Whatever your do, consult your boss first and he’s opinion.
You don’t have to consult your boss or obey your chain of command. You have free will. You can literally just do things. You may perceive consequences for those things due to organizational structure or ruleset, but underneath that artificial structure is your free will waiting to do things. You can just do things.
Completely agree. And to your point, freedom to just do things comes with responsibility of self-sovereignty. It is pervasive today for individuals to decry victim to their circumstances and point the finger at another demanding fairness.
"loser midwits like Sam Harris" 😂👌
I like just doing things. Then normie friends say "I wish I could do things," as they go back to their mediocre lives filled with zero challenges in life.
Main thing that separates us is fear. They fear change, but we welcome it.
Absolutely. It took me a long time to break out of the normie mindset myself though so I don’t judge. Change is costly in terms of time/energy/risk. The fear is an illusion but it’s often a well founded illusion.
Yes and in the end ones bias has a lot of influence. When my mind is looking for failure, most probably it will find it.
So most often it is important to decide freely what to look for. Since it is more likely to find it then not.
It all depends if I decide to look out and recognize success or do the same for failure.
hahahahahaha
Yes ❤️
Before you attack Sam Harris, have your considered meditating to reach the enlightenment that torture and bombing civilians is good? Seems to have worked for him.
Lololol
You can just say nigger out loud.
You can just say Israel did 9/11
You can just say jews control the media.
Really guys. You have free will, remove your jewish gag balls.
I think Sam’s free will take is more of an unexamined mind issue if you never observe your mind you’ll be ran by it with no other alternative. Once you see how your mind works you can start to bend it to your own free will. Like you say you can just do things
On par with the classic “know thyself” by Aristotle
No it’s a whole cloth rejection of free will. I read his book. It was very very stupid.
Even if he was right about Free Will (and there are interesting takes on either side of that debate) what he misses, quite spectacularly, is that any clear thinking person should and would always act *as if* they had free will.
He’s so blinkered he can’t take the next step.
He’s not right though. He misreads the FMRI data because he’s fundamentally a very stupid grifter.
Agreed. No one who is serious about consciousness or studies of the mind would ever entertain FMRI data.
His fundamental error imho is that he conflates non-dualism with solipsism and it’s fairly common among the Harris, Dennet, Dorkins crew.
Once you’ve planted your flagpole in the materialism camp you have to perform increasingly elaborate sleights of hand to get round the hard problem.
Wait until they realise that their beloved science is just discovering that space and time aren’t fundamental.
“Excellent use of Free Willy”

Why not both?
Kinda agree on Sam Harris.
The best way to view it is we all act as if we have agency, and that brings about positive outcomes, so what does it matter if it is all deterministic.
In other words, now you have the information, what does it change?
The answer is nothing. Act as if you have free will, even if it is determined that you do. 😂
The only other option is to immerse yourself in nihilism. That's gay AF.
I’ve been enjoying learning from Thomas Campbell (former NASA physicist, turned consciousness, expert) lately who says exactly that - we are a free will awareness unit inside an avatar body. Our function is do things on earth and get feedback.
Tom is author of my big toe (theory of everything) his theory, which he says, answers at least 35 scientific mysteries of the last hundred years.
Great for Bitcoiners (and all humans) to wake up to their power to do things. TLDR on his theory “being love is the key to winning this game of life”
Yes think of it like flying a plane: on a long smooth stretch, the autopilot handles the controls while the pilot reviews maps or chats with the co-pilot. But let there be a sudden change – say, a storm ahead or an unexpected instruction from air traffic control – and the pilot grabs the yoke to change course. In the journey of life, your habits are the autopilot, and your conscious will is the pilot ready to take over. Cultivating that readiness (through self-reflection, planning, and practice) can help you make the most of your “free will” when it counts. It’s not about micromanaging every moment; it’s about being able to wake up at the right moment, take the wheel, and steer yourself in the direction you truly intend to go.
We are an experiment. Free will c and otherwise they wouldn't have feedback
Philosophical absolutists look silly regardless of which mental construct they go all in on.
