  1. You’re just mad that you got kicked out of the west no? It’s like a guy trying to hit on a girl, she says no interest and the guy is like you are ugly anyway i never wanted you.
  2. I was also very excited when it happened the first time. It was soo beautiful.
  3. Also i don’t want to be disrespectful. It’s love. But wasn’t your main guy forgot his name Medicaid or Mohamaid? Wasn’t he a pedo? release the files boiii
  4. Then why is Spain and Ireland and Norway etc. are going against the US abd Israel on Gaza? Why were many western countries against the Iraq invasion? Why is Francesca Albanese accusing Israel etc. anywho i’m not even interested in your answer it’s silly. Toodeloo
  5. Finished listening to this. Saagar did amazing. The others not so much, still some cope and flailing.
  6. You’re probably not able or scared to do it. Haha soo scared.
  7. You also don’t have free will not to do it. Ok i asked chat gpt Science has no unified answer to the question of free will, but researchers across neuroscience, psychology, and physics have explored it deeply — and the results challenge traditional ideas of what free will might be. 🔬 Neuroscience: The Brain Acts Before You Know It One of the most famous studies comes from Benjamin Libet in the 1980s: Libet found that brain activity (a “readiness potential”) precedes a person’s conscious decision to move by about 300–500 milliseconds. That suggests: your brain starts preparing actions before you’re aware of deciding. Many later studies have supported and extended this — for example, researchers can now predict a person’s decisions several seconds before they report deciding. 🧠 Implication: Free will might be an illusion — we may be rationalizing choices after our brain already made them. 🧠 Psychology: Bias, Conditioning, and Lack of Control Psychological studies show: Much of our behavior is influenced by unconscious biases, habits, priming, or external cues. We often confabulate reasons for actions we didn’t consciously choose (like in split-brain patients). 📌 Implication: Human decisions are heavily shaped by factors outside our awareness, making true “freedom” of will questionable. ⚛️ Physics: Determinism vs Indeterminism Classical Physics (Newtonian): The universe is deterministic — every action is the result of previous causes. If this were fully true, free will wouldn’t exist, because all choices would be pre-determined. Quantum Mechanics: Introduces randomness and probabilistic events at the smallest scale. But randomness ≠ free will — a random choice isn’t a willed choice. 🔍 Implication: Physics hasn’t rescued free will — either everything is determined, or it’s random, but neither gives us the “freedom” we feel. 🧩 So… Is Free Will an Illusion? Many scientists lean toward compatibilism — the idea that: Even if determinism is true, we can still define free will as the ability to act according to our goals, desires, and reasoning — without coercion. In this view, free will = internal decision-making, not metaphysical independence from causality. 🔄 Others, like Sam Harris, argue that free will is completely illusory — and that recognizing this increases empathy and reduces blame. ✅ Summary Table: Field Key Insight Impact on Free Will Neuroscience Brain acts before conscious awareness Undermines the idea of conscious control Psychology Behavior shaped by hidden influences Suggests our choices aren’t fully “ours” Physics Determinism or randomness dominate No space for traditional free will Philosophy Compatibilism is still widely defended Redefines free will as rational autonomy 🔎 Final Thought: Science doesn’t prove that free will exists — but it shows that our decisions are deeply influenced by unconscious processes, biology, and environment. Whether or not you call that “free will” is partly a philosophical choice. Would you like to explore how this affects morality, responsibility, or criminal justice? Those are major areas where this debate becomes very real.
  8. It’s a resonance not a concept or idea for me. And even science doubts free will no?
  9. edited don’t conflate the two, thanks. My moms actually took lsd but only like twice.
  10. You were probably like noooo mom i need this for my enlightenment
  11. This Candace thing is mostly about Ghislaine Maxwells father but somebody needs to fact check her, this story is crazy and Candace isn’t the most trustworthy Anywho would make for an amazing movie story this Robert Maxwell.
  12. Egosactly. And i would say (although i don’t know) That seeing through the me (which no one can do) is seeing through the dialectic. Because the me is seemingly the dialectic, the process and so on.
  13. Also for the sake of the thread and for Rupert Spira’s honour (i think the inventor of Spira dynamics) There was a time when i was into Rupert Spira and being aware of awareness and all that. Probably like 3 yrs ago.
  14. There is a resonance or there isn’t. Nobody decides that.
  15. Egosactly Andreas Müller, Kenneth Madden and Alexis too.
  16. Everything is unknowable but yea that seems like an undeniable truth.
  17. I wouldn’t go so far. One is trying to help the „me“ and the story and the other doesn’t acknowledge the „me“ and the story.
  18. Nice thanks boii. The premise was not that one is necessarily better than the other although i have my preferences. But that they are not the same and shouldn’t be confused/conflated
  19. I mean it’s a nice discussion but nobody is addressing the main premise which is also in the title. Am I nobody to you that you ignore my premise? Yes i‘m nobody
