When I think about free will I always come to the conclusion that the universe is ultimately deterministic. And by extension, we are just machines executing input parameters and returning results based on the internal programming of each of us.

Once I come to this conclusion, my mind, always wants to forget it and continue with the illusion, what do you think? Does the same thing happen to you?

Do you have free will? Have you decided to read this consciously? Are you going to think now that you do have free will and make some 'unexpected' gesture? 🤣

What do you think #nostr?

Exhalations was excellent. #bookstr

Yeah I think we have free will. Definitely not 100%. But at least a little more than 0%. Not totally sure of course, but I think we do. It’s worth behaving as if we do even if it doesn’t end up being true like the story points out.

But I think it’s also worth the resulting cognitive dissonance to suspend that belief when looking at other people, at least in part. Doing that provides such an easy way to find more patience and love for them. Especially when they are causing you problems. They are largely acting out programming that they did not choose 🫂
