OMG are you completely retarded or did you get bashed in the skull very hard? it doesnt matter, no matter what you type , you didnt choose it, even past events and causality doesnt matter, because you still cant say how its a choice. and how the fuck could you even type if time didnt exist, it takes time to type or do anything

wtf


Maybe your mind just can't grasp what I'm saying ;) I'd draw a little picture for you or use my hands to explain, but unfortunately that would be hard on GLP...

So let me try to again with just words.

You are saying we have no choice, no free will.

I'm at A, and no matter what I do, I'll go to B, because that's what A leads to. Therefore I have no choice, no free will.

Follow me so far?

OK.

What if however, I got superpowers. What if I, in this moment, could see an *infinite* amount of variations of my future unfold... and what if my mind could actually make sense of it. I could go to B, C, D, E, F, G, all the way through the alphabet and into infinite numbers if I wanted to. Are you saying that in that moment of super-thought, I wouldn't have free will?

I would move through time to do things, obviously, but time would not *limit* me anymore... since I could navigate "potential futures" at will.

Does that make more sense to you?

You know, people here at glp make it very difficult to simply have an intellectual discussion.

Just because someone is presenting an opposing position on a subject doesn't mean that that person is 'retarded' or 'had his skull bashed in'.

Sol Invictus is probably one of the most erudite posters that have ever been on this board.

I really hate so see someone so sharp berated this way. He has a great deal to offer us all here.

Sol, I apologize for this cretin's behavior. I hope you can forgive the insipid insults.

Peace
