I was abused by my christian parents.
I would like to live long enough to see humanity mature out of superstition and free the world from human greed.
I choose to be as honest as possible because I have seen how much harm can come from falsehoods.
Honestly, there is zero evidence for free will. Zero evidence for god. Zero evidence for miracles. Zero evidence for souls. Etc.
You choose the dishonest path of asserting conclusions despite lacking evidence. You see what you want to see and pretend it is true, at everyone’s expense.
No, it’s proof that you typed “no”, presumably because you’re so heavily invested in your identity as a catholic person that you thought typing “free will exists” is proof that it exists.
It is not. Your brain, a physical thing, decided to do that.
That’s proof that you can type the word “no”. There is still zero proof of free will.
Prove it. Can you even define it? It’s a bullshit excuse to make us feel guilty about things we did not choose.
“Free will” is a phrase humans invented so they can pretend their consciousness is magic.
It is true that we do not choose our beliefs. But we can choose (through biological processes, not magic) what we are exposed to, we can choose to investigate certain questions further. Some people choose to ignore inconsistencies in their mental model, which can be very harmful.
But all of that occurs via biological processes. Our brains react to the stimuli they receive.
I believe it is important for us to consider our choices. I do not believe in free will.
Free will doesn’t exist.
No one should “forgive” an active threat.
Your cult is killing us.
Ducking accountability enables abusers to continue abusing.
No. Some people take actions they do not want to take. Your victim-blaming bullshit is deadly.
Kids are also susceptible:
3.2% of youth players (ages 9–14) concussed each season and higher risk in tackle-heavy roles like offensive linemen
“There’s a high risk of death, of course people will die.”
Yeah. That’s why we should reduce that risk. We don’t have to keep killing people.
Can children understand the risks? They suffer regardless:
