Hey Rodney have a nice day I always liked your Rants and your philosophy especially your babbling rants "okay well, have a nice day" Talk to you later buddy😂❤
@@BAsed_AFro I am assuming the comment comes from Canada or the US, where we love our freedom but not the kind that requires responsibility or accountability
The argument I’ve seen against it is that your thoughts don’t come from any conscious intention, they come unbidden. I think it’s probably both like Forrest Gump and Bender say. Maybe we can’t choose anything except our dispositions.
@@LVmobster27 what if you choose to be thoughtless? Like breathing out your thoughts? And what if you just stay that way? What does it say about who you are after that? I don't know either way. I'm undecided as there's no way to KNOW. But it's fun to question both sides of it.
I love your mind! I sometimes wonder if free will is both a construct and also perhaps an illusion. I wonder if it's got something to do with the uncertainty principal or something or other.
First redefine illusion. Perspective is an illusion.. Things don't grow if you approach.. But it gives actionable information. So does paralax, stereo hearing etc etc.. Reality is ultimately a measure of consistency of hallucination. (Think about object permanence, another illusion, but without it... ) So the !spectrum! illusion-reality is a useful thing to have in your head if you think about these things.. Either that or go in for a plurality of truth, then at least you can keep it binary.
I think I inspired this video. Lol. This is why I posted on your Instagram that there is no free will. I figured it would be great fodder for your style of umm, communication… 😂🤷♀️
I hope you are having a super freaking awesome day, Rodney! I don't personally give a fuck whether on not I have free will, because I have the solid illusion that I have it, IF INDEED I DO NOT. Or else maybe I do have it. I have a harder time with choosing a flavor of ice cream at the ice cream shop.
Or I could say, "Hey... the Creator is smart enough to figure out how to give me free will even though the past, present, and future are all before him/her/it/them simultaneously." ❤
Just because everything is pre-determined and choice is an illusion, doesn't mean I have to have a bad attitude about it. You still make choices, they're just pre-determined choices. We just do whatever out meatware thinks is best at that moment to do. It still feels like we're making a choice even if you know you couldn't have made a different one. And the illusion of choice is so good that you'll forget about the illusion for a while until you're like "oh yeah that's an illsuion" one day. When that happens I just shrug and move on with my day because nothing really changes, life is good or bad or whatever regardless.
People enjoy claiming credit when things go well and blaming others when things don't. Break the law the establishment devised and there's a chance you'll be incarcerated in a hell-hole. We try protect 'free speech' but people just mostly parrot what others have said before. Greedy apes led to humans. Humans devised capitalism. Capitalists mass-propagated religion. Religion overpopulated the world. Overconsumption x overpopulation = annual environmental impact. We have the ecocide. ALL perfectly natural!
I think that IF humans actually have free will, our ability to steer our lives is extremely limited. There are too many things happening all around us that we have no control over that shape our lives. I didn't choose to be born, or anything that happened before that. I didn't choose my parents, nor the other kids that were born in my area, who became friends. I didn't choose my genetics, my gender, my height, my birthplace, my species, my planet? I don't control who I run into throughout the day, nor what they think, nor what they say to me. Their words change my day whether I like it or not. There are millions and millions of dominos falling all around us, and to think we control any of it is silly in my opinion. It's all an illusion of choice. I agree.
People get it twisted because there are circumstances outside of our personal range of free will but what you do in any given situation is decided by you therefore free will ☺️🤙bang on Rodney!!!
There's zero evidence for FW. God & religion are scams mass-propagated by capitalism so it's hardly 'God given'. The greatest computer in the world only does what its programmed to do (bugs an' all). Your brain controls you (not vice versa). Do all animals have it, or just us? Where did it arise on the evolutionary tree of life? _Where does it arise in the human life span?_ Do sex cells have it? Embryos? Foetuses? Neonates? Toddlers? Primary school kids? Teenagers? Adolescents? Adults? Geriatrics? Or is it just useful for incarcerating those who rebel against the capitalist system???
Your daily thoughts and decisions are shaped by millions and millions of things, past and present that you had no control over. Therefore, your thoughts aren't truly yours, they were given to you.
Of course we have free will that's why bad things happen in the world and then people say why would a loving God allow this to happen? Because he gave us free will that's why! Be nice.
to measure something, you need to interact with it. so to see where something is, you need at least one light particle (photon) that carries that information. But the if you want to know exactly where that individual photon is, you cant interact on any smaller scale. So however you measure where it is, will also change where it is and it’s momentum as well. Because of this, we can’t measure exactly where it is and how it’s moving. the fun part is, that as a consequence, a photon does not have an exact location and momentum. So, it’s not because of our capabilities as humans, reality itself cant define these properties exactly at this tiny scale). So on a fundamental level, there is uncertainty in how our reality works (I just tried to explain the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle). So not everything is defined beforehand, and we can make choices. But on our scale, our choices have consequences that are not always uncertain…
I believe they now have a hypothesis that everything is waves of particles and things we perceive as matter only form once observed. By reassembling into a pre visioned mass. By who? Every can of worms contains another...
@@stronghold500 you're probably referring to wave-particle duality. Interestingly that does not just apply to the smallest particles, like the light particle (photon) I mentioned, but even in large molecules containing 60 carbon atoms (such as buckminsterfullerene). This definitely has profound consequences on how our reality works, so I'll try to explain that one as well. Essentially, things behave both as a particle and a wave under certain conditions. How waves work: Everybody knows waves from water, right? When you're in a swimming pool that has a wave-maker machine, those waves are very consistent. They have the typical curvy wavelike property that alternates between high and low water levels. But when you have waves at sea, you'll see all kind of weird patterns, and even waves on the waves. The waves get messy. When two waves collide that have the exact same patter, they add up, so the high parts get higher and the low parts get lower. And if two waves collide that are the exact opposite of each other, they cancel each other out. Noise cancelling headphones actually can produce the exact opposite soundwave, so the waves cancel each other out. So when waves collide with each other that are not exactly equal or opposite, they form different patterns. How particles work: Well everybody has plenty of experience with particles. For example: a ball. You can drop the ball, you can bounce the ball against the floor, and you can throw it through a hoop. But you cannot throw it through two hoops at the exact same time, because you only have one ball. That's how particles work. Wave-particle duality: A nice visual example of this, is the double-slit experiment: you have a cannon that shoots individual particles (for example, electrons) at a wall. In that wall, you have made two slits. When you shoot at the wall, the electron might go through one of those slits. Then behind that wall, you put another wall (without slits). That last wall will show where the particle lands that the cannon shoots. And you keep track where every particles land on that wall. From how particles behave, we would expect that they would form a pattern on the wall that demonstrates the accuracy of the cannon. So most balls would land in the center of the other end of each slit, and less balls end up further away from that. In reality what happens when you shoot small particles, is that they form an interference pattern on the other side. As if the particles that go through one of the slits, cancel out the particles that go through the other slit. However you only shoot one particle at the time, so it is not the other particles that cancel this particle out. In stead, you could say, this single particle behaves like a wave. As if that single particle went through both slits, like a wave of energy, then that wave formed an interference pattern, and then, a particle ends up on only one location on the second wall. But that location is decided based on wave like behavior from that single particle. There are many interpretations of why this behavior occurs, but it's certain that this behavior occurs. The interpretation that I like is, that Schrödingers cat is both alive and dead, when you open the box and view the cat, there is a version of you that sees the dead cat, and a version of you that sees the alive cat. In the same way, The particle goes through the left slit, and through the right slit. Even though your version of reality only sees a particle that went through one slit, those realities interfere with each other to form this pattern. I've tried to be accurate in my explanation, but I'm not a scientist myself. I've learned a lot from channels like PBS Space Time, so if you have an interest in the subject, I think channels like that can help you form an even more accurate perspective on how our reality works according to science. And as a consequence form an opinion on whether or not you have free will (see? I stayed on topic...)
Right, couple of things.. measurement is not reality. Well, depends on how you look at it.. not being able to measure it, doesn't automatically mean it hasn't got a quality. This is a point of view, but definitely not the only one.. Like a yellow tennisball can still be said to be potentially yellow in a dark room. Determinism and predictability, mathmatically speaking is also not so open and shut, in non-linear dymanic systems (previously chaos-theory) we have often seen unpredictable systems, that nonetheless are completely deterministic. Most likely what is happening: our macroscale reality emerges from the quantum-realm as a kind of strange attractor or possibly an anti-fragile process and we are pretty bad at fathoming strange attractors or antifragility. And this phenomenon goes on and on.. Tiny influences compound into huge events... The earth rotation is slightly influenced by my typing and this influences the orbit of Jupiter and ultimately brings about the heat death of the universe (oops, sorry about that). These patterns tend to manifest to us as just fuzzy, which we generally call experience and we decide "objects" and "events" from that.. So bringing scale into it is quite correct.. But it is not the end-all..
@@Ludifant in the case of for example the position-momentum pair for a photon, it is really the case that these properties are not exact for a photon. There is a fundamental limit to the precision that these properties can be. Of course, at the scale we are used to, if we can't measure something that does not influence reality. But on the scale of a photon, this is not the case. You cannot say that a photon has an exact location and momentum. On that scale, not only fundamentally impossible to measure it, they fundamentally do not have those precise values. This leads to all sorts of measurable effects, like quantum tunneling. A photon can just teleport through a barrier, even if if it's energy is lower than the height of that barrier, simply because it does not have an exact location and momentum. So at one moment it's at one side of the barrier, and at the other moment, it just is at the other side of the barrier.
I like Rods principle better. It just is. Because. Even if we work out the answer, there will be another question. For ever......imo As soon as you say you know the answer, your further from the truth.
I think we have free will, but it is quite arbitrary and really serves no use except to win an argument. Like telling the answer to an equation that it's the answer's fault for being calculated because the equation can be written backwards. When really the equation and the answer are the same thing written differently, so any argument of free will has no use and is just an argument with yourself.
What if we aren’t but AIs that some sadist is “training”. Sometimes I feel like the Truman Show guy, honestly. Like, WTF? Seriously? U know what I mean?
Free will vs determinsism is unprovable ethier way, I'm agnostic about it. Determinsm feels good when your down and out free will feels good when you're up and in. If free will is true and your a determinist than that's your choice, if determinsm is true and your a free willer than that was predetermined. I know that people who helieve in fewe will tejd to get mlre accomplish according to a study I forget the mame of, but determinism allows for more forgiveness of oneself and others. Which worldview is more useful to you?
If you pay close attention to your own mind, you notice you don't actually choose things at all. Your thoughts just appear out of nowhere. There is no scientific evidence for free will, but there's also no subjective evidence for it either. Pay close attention and you may find it doesn't actually feel like choice. A thought just presents itself to your awareness and you can't really account for why.
We probably don't have free will, but taking that view would probably negatively affect your decision making, so definitely act as though you have free will... If you have that choice.
i love this kind of talk because there is so much truth in it. the smart people are pretty much saying what they believe and it comes down to that is what they want to believe. even tho they have very smart positions on why and another smart person can have a very smart position on the other side and it comes down to what they want to believe. truth is no one knows but i lean towards free will because there is something special about consciousness and untill we know what is... we can not prove one way or another if there is true free will but hey Rodney tell us what you think is consciousness smecial or just some illusion like some scientists claim hahaha. i say it cant be just an illusion because how could you know it was an illusion if you was not conscious... what say you!?
Either the Lord knows everything or He doesn't. Revelation 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
@@tendiesoffmyplate9085 In fact it is, it's undeniable that we are having a human experience and each subject is the only platform where the so called reality happens, if you assume the reverse you are rationalizing reality and that assumption can go to causa sui, or the hegelian "rational is real real is rational", although also dialectical that descends from the same circular concept, and if you go to Max Stirner or L. Fuerbach, Nietzsche, Sartre, etc they prove that there's an antropomorphism in the attempt of creating a creator or any kind of ulterior complex explanation to our existence, anyway, in all cases it's all questionable and open it's all concepts so absolutely unreal as well, ipsum factum is we weren't abducted by aliens today so it's everything ok !

So at one moment it's at one side of the barrier, and at the other moment, it just is at the other side of the barrier.
I like Rods principle better. It just is. Because. Even if we work out the answer, there will be another question. For ever......imo
As soon as you say you know the answer, your further from the truth.
I think we have free will, but it is quite arbitrary and really serves no use except to win an argument. Like telling the answer to an equation that it's the answer's fault for being calculated because the equation can be written backwards. When really the equation and the answer are the same thing written differently, so any argument of free will has no use and is just an argument with yourself.
GENIUS I LOVE YOU.
I was with you up until the point that you said, do whatever makes you feel good.
What if we aren’t but AIs that some sadist is “training”. Sometimes I feel like the Truman Show guy, honestly. Like, WTF? Seriously? U know what I mean?
I do not think no one doesn't have no free will.. In fact, I am pretty sure.
I had no choice but to watch this video
My will comes with a cost
Free will vs determinsism is unprovable ethier way, I'm agnostic about it. Determinsm feels good when your down and out free will feels good when you're up and in. If free will is true and your a determinist than that's your choice, if determinsm is true and your a free willer than that was predetermined. I know that people who helieve in fewe will tejd to get mlre accomplish according to a study I forget the mame of, but determinism allows for more forgiveness of oneself and others. Which worldview is more useful to you?
Perhaps
I have free will, but you are gonna have to pay for yours.
FREE HAT!!
Jesus is the way

Im free to make stupid mistakes (little ones) 🙉🙈🙊darn ❤️🌏⭐💚
There's no free will.
If you think so
If there's no free will, does that mean there's free won't?
Heather has spoken! Lol 😂
There's actually a lot of scientific evidence for this but I don't have the will to go find it all and share it
@heatherberg7499 that's ok my none freewill won't accept it anyway
ok... thank you
There should be a button so you can hit like on everyone’s videos
If you pay close attention to your own mind, you notice you don't actually choose things at all. Your thoughts just appear out of nowhere. There is no scientific evidence for free will, but there's also no subjective evidence for it either. Pay close attention and you may find it doesn't actually feel like choice. A thought just presents itself to your awareness and you can't really account for why.
We probably don't have free will, but taking that view would probably negatively affect your decision making, so definitely act as though you have free will... If you have that choice.
whatever we weren't abducted today so its the same
NOPE
i love this kind of talk because there is so much truth in it. the smart people are pretty much saying what they believe and it comes down to that is what they want to believe. even tho they have very smart positions on why and another smart person can have a very smart position on the other side and it comes down to what they want to believe. truth is no one knows but i lean towards free will because there is something special about consciousness and untill we know what is... we can not prove one way or another if there is true free will but hey Rodney tell us what you think is consciousness smecial or just some illusion like some scientists claim hahaha. i say it cant be just an illusion because how could you know it was an illusion if you was not conscious... what say you!?
Hey.
Have you ever heard of the Milgram Experiment?
Either the Lord knows everything or He doesn't.
Revelation 17:8
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Love this! First to comment:)
Sorry 😢
@@mangeload sorry for what??
@@lorikeene5912 you were 3rd
No. Rust Cohle sums up existence perfectly. Everything weve ever done has already happened. Again and again and again.
If that's what you choose
@@RodneyDouglasNorman reality isn't subjective
@@tendiesoffmyplate9085 In fact it is, it's undeniable that we are having a human experience and each subject is the only platform where the so called reality happens, if you assume the reverse you are rationalizing reality and that assumption can go to causa sui, or the hegelian "rational is real real is rational", although also dialectical that descends from the same circular concept, and if you go to Max Stirner or L. Fuerbach, Nietzsche, Sartre, etc they prove that there's an antropomorphism in the attempt of creating a creator or any kind of ulterior complex explanation to our existence, anyway, in all cases it's all questionable and open it's all concepts so absolutely unreal as well, ipsum factum is we weren't abducted by aliens today so it's everything ok !
Free will means we will ourselves freely and refuse to bend the knee for the "lessor" evil which is only a gradual corruption that leads to a fast destructive short lived path
People don’t ask you that!
EAT, DRINK, AND BE MERRY,! Thank you, thats all...
I identify as an ice cream cone.
Well to get to the valerian root of it all you don't say
Hmmm? Food for thought ... 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘👍
Rodney, i dont think there s an ounce of free will in the universe, and i think accepting that should be liberating and relieving if anything..
One question... How did you arrive at this conclusion?
You were predetermined to reject the concept of free-will.
