Wife and I have a longstanding argument over whether free-will exists.
I say it does and she has no choice but to say otherwise.
Consider this, free will can still be pre-planned. We can choose what we want to do, so what if it was pre planned? I still chose it.
Why do we need to bother executing it then? Choice has no value if agency to exercise it is revoked at any stage.
Not executing it would also be predetermined. The only thing you can do is pretend to choose.
that thought affects your brain, and therefore the future! :D
But you didn't choose to have the thought did you?
Quick think of a city and then explain to me why you didn't pick Cairo
speaking of brains, mine just exploded!
