It’s based on your observation and thinking. And no, it’s not based in science
there is a lot of experiments done by neuroscience on the brain that suggest our brain pick first then we chose, the button clicking experiment and many others, and yes its true science hasn’t said there is no freewill, and never will, but it also doesn’t say we do have freewill, i see no proof of such freewill
our ability to create new neural networks in the brain, i.e. new ways of thinking and reacting. You could change your thinking if you’d want to. Literally, your neurons could “fire” in different ways, and your entire thinking and reasoning could change
sure we can, but where does this action come from? where does the desire to change our thinking come from? is it really free? how so? i like to say to people that im skeptic when it comes to freewill
But I understand you don’t want to change your thinking. That’s your free will
though why ? why did i chose not to want to change? you are missing something here, the reason behind our action
and don’t have free will to change
please stop strawman my argument, i have the freewill to change, but i don’t want to, though the reason behind this decision i think is uncontrollable (with proofs)
It’s a belief system, a mental construct, which serves a purpose. And I believe the purpose is to protect you from pain which you don’t want to experience again.
sounds smart move if you ask me.
you don’t want to admit that you don’t want to change
do i ? ok, i admit i don’t wanna change, and its totally free decision, i made it, its my fault, i take responsibility for such action
Healing is possible, but you’d need to be willing to dismantle the protector, and it seems like you’re not willing to do that, at least not at the moment.
in iraq? forget it
So, to avoid guilt, you say “it’s not my lack of will to change – it’s how I am created”
guilt is so strong that made me make a new value system and philosophy
This way nobody can blame you for taking the easy way
expect every norime does, you included “That’s your free will.”
“it’s not my lack of will to change – it’s how I am created”
ok, why do i say that? why im more prone to do such thing instead of “healing” ?
