We have to believe in free-will. We've got no choice.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We must believe in free will, we have no choice.
As far as I can see, it's not important that we have free will, just as long as we have the illusion of free will to stop us going mad.
There have always been arguments showing that free will is an illusion: some based on hard physics, others based on pure logic.
One of the greatest gifts that God has given us is free will. Even though it's free, we don't take advantage of it as much as we could when it comes to matters of the heart.
We almost always have choices, and the better the choice, the more we will be in control of our lives.
The capacity to make free choices is not something we either have entirely or not at all. Rather, choices become freer the more they are the result of our own capacity to reflect on and assess facts and arguments.
All is foreseen, but freedom of choice is given.
In philosophy, they talk a lot about humans being actual organic machines, and the idea of free will is something that we've made up. We actually don't have free will. We're acting according to our programming as organic mechanisms.
We can believe what we choose. We are answerable for what we choose to believe.
God, our genes, our environment, or some stupid programmer keying in code at an ancient terminal - there's no way free will can ever exist if we as individuals are the result of some external cause.
