"tried to scare off the bear with disco lights and high tempo Serbian folk music" is a string of words I never expected to hear

Read the title as “Does Free Wifi Actually Exist” and my high ass starting wondering “hmmm yeah someone’s paying for that shit”
😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭
You made my high ass scroll up and reread the title to make sure I didn't read it wrong lol.
"The bear managed to avoid it's prison sentence by being a protected species." Privilege strikes again
Well aren’t humans technically a protected species? In that in most places of the world it’s illegal to kill one 🤔🤔
@@Ultermategamerz duh, humans are just the biggest bullies…. 😳
Not white privilege this time, bear privilege.
Privilege is a curse…to be hated for something that you’re born with. Many privileges lead to misery. What other explanation is there for the ridiculous suicide rate of “first world” nations?
@@marjimhip8487 Because those people aren't as priveledge as you think, because mental illness, because of poor choices making them feel like they're at a dead end, because they've reached the end of their priveledge and don't know how to continue without it, there's tons of reasons that don't sound nearly as insane as "Priveledge is a curse." Priveledge is an advantage, but if you start halfway up the racetrack and still finish last it hurts worse than losing on equal terms.
Title: “do you have free will?”
Residents of North Korea: *“What is that?”*
Residents of China:
also North Korea: trick question, If you have will he can't be free.
Also in Turkmenistan.
Even if one is kidnapped, tied up, and gagged, free will still exists.
An inmate still has free will even though not actual freedom.
Free will imho is the ability to make moral choices in any situation. Even if it’s simply the choice of how to perceive the situation and form opinions.
@@vdoxsamp7283 Free will to criticize the western world. I'm looking at you Wumao!

Why your future is entirely predictable ➡ Do you have free well ➡ Does free will actually exist

I see you Gyro
If youre a man and youre married then no, you do not have free will.
Just wanted to say that this video really got to me with being bipolar. I keep trying to find ways to logically understand my different episodes, why it feels like I'm being possessed by a different entity when being manic and spending all my money.
I’m actually feeling the same thing… That feeling just comes from nowhere & I’m aware that situation had happened for example(blasting money on something quite unusual) & i know the consequences but I’ll still get that urge, feeling to still go on with it.
Because itʼs a chemical imbalance. Itʼs a symptom and it isnʼt your fault. Cosmic Skeptic also did a good video on free will that doesnʼt really talk about determinism.
I can relate. It's like being your own hostage😅

Maybe there is some truth to "History repeats itself" after all. Anyone who follows history or has even basic knowledge of it will know it 100% does repeat itself to an almost "divine" level of accuracy.
How does it repeat? I don’t know much history and could give a little answer but it wouldn’t be as good as your examples

Very casual

@@dontcomply3976 Yes, called "hard determinism."
*Causal determinism. Thoughty2 mispoke
The fact that thoughty2 can freely change his title everytime is a proof that we have freewill
No, he actually just can't not change the title :)
but if he does will the message will be the same
Actually the fact that he changes is proof of causation. He has a belief that changing the changing the title has some positive affect on viewership. That belief was formed from an event in the past
Yup. If he had free will, why would he change the title? He's feeling the urge to...
That is a dumb comment.
“Freely change”
So where is the proof that his choice is truly “free” WTF
Maybe the proof that he does not have free will is that he always changes the title

Bro you did the best job explaining the age old debate of the Christian community of Armamiamsm vs Calvinism.
And explaining why God is in present as He is known as "I AM" being able to explain the past and being able to know the future.
No one I seem so far has come close to the outer edges of explaining that and that too using science.
The mind-finger movements experiment doesn't prove predictability but most assuredly proves that we don't just have a mind and a body but also a spirit of ourselves inside our fleshly bidy that controls our body as we do not merely think in our brain but the brains thoughts are a reflection of our soul. This experiment clearly demonstrates that.
This is probably the best video of yours I seen so far.
I though that said “do you really have free Wi-Fi?”

thanks for making videos about things that keep me up at night. existential quesitons like these have me depressed for years as i have no ways of expressing them or talk about them, cuz they are greatly combined with social anxiety, while most ppl simply live life not questioning anything. i wish i was like this sometimes.
Psychologists i talked to simply told me that my world views and phylosophic aproches to live, despite me not ever having read a book on the topics, seem very rational and talking to me simply made them depressed rather than helping me and adviced me to study astrophysics, psychology, philosophy. very helpful right there, so anti depressives it had to be to simply make me think less.
On topic - in my opinion we have very little control over our actions and are mostly driven by instincts, genetics that are influenced by evolution, our influences in upbringing, birth alone might be proof of us not having acutal free will. but we still have to keep our made up laws of society for it to exist as most ppl wish it to do.
what difference does it make? as much as me winning the next game of whatever i play, or what job i have. none, outside of my egoistic interests as a human being.
"talking to me simply made them depressed" Personally I think this quote sums up their usefulness quite completely, I suspect in 100 years time we will look at the psychologists of today in much the same way we look at the "doctors" of the past who thought drilling holes in your head was a surefire remedy for almost anything...
To their credit though advising you to learn stuff isn't a terrible idea, you should do stuff too...Why so vague? Why "stuff" and not something specific? Because it doesn't actually matter what that "stuff" is. You are imho completely correct that everything is essentially meaningless, nothing you, I or anyone else does has any grand meaning behind it and if you spend your life searching for such a thing you will be permanently disappointed. When people realise this they can become lost staring into the black void of meaninglessness but I say to you, good sir, that it is not a black void, it is a blank canvas upon which to paint your own meaning. Egotistical it may be, but think of it this way...what if there was a grand meaning to everything? What if you didn't like that meaning? What if you were unable to live up to that meaning, to play your part in it? *Then* you would know true meaninglessness...it's better the way it is. Paint your picture, believe in it's meaning and don't let anyone, even yourself, tell you it has no meaning.

@Cali Girl In Costa it's annoying
This video had 3 titles: "Why your future is entirely predictable", "do you have free will?" and "does free will actually exist?" normally he only changes it once but damn he couldn't make up his mind this time
Does that prove he has free will or was it already predetermined to thrice change?
I do think we have free will, but that
doesn't mean we will have a favorable outcome, for instance, I
have wanted certain jobs I was
qualified for, and yet didn't get
them for whatever reason another
example is reaching out to others
for friendship, and was rebuffed
There are reasons why I didn't
obtain these things, but there
are situations where you can't
determine why they happened

This was a pretty interesting part of The Matrix. I remember The Oracle and all the other programs and such could accurately predict the actions of everyone, and along with the physics of the world and chemical reactions in our brains, so on and so on, they therefore knew the future. I had never thought about it before I had watched that movie, but afterwards I thought a lot about it, and it honestly makes sense to me. Neurons in our brains fire in different ways due to different stimuli, it’s not like we can choose how it fires.
you are getting more bold with the sexual innuendo jokes every video. 🤣 It catches me off guard everytime and makes me laugh!!
Criminals being “determined” to commit the crimes would be just as “determined” as them being punished.
Not really, because criminality is subject to legislation proscribing specific activity, and legislation is subject to changes in societal norms.Someone smoking pot perfectly legally today, would have been liable to criminal prosecution and punishment 25 years ago. But his behaviour, and his motivations have stayed the same (for the sake of argument) for forty years. His free will decided he would smoke pot forty years ago, despite its criminal status, and his reasons for doing so haven't changed, but the legislation has. So if determinism is true, then legislation is irrelevant, criminality is just another kind of behaviour, and punishment is just a pointless attack we make on people we don't like.
@@nodiggity9472 If determinism is true that is was determined that marijuana was illegal then and determined that it is legal now.
@@username65585 You are right, but we can't help seeing the world in moral terms and acting accordingly, and objectively smoking pot should not be illegal.
@@klondike444 True, but smoking pot doesn't happen in a vacuum. For example, I don't want the pot smoke of my neighbor reaching my open window in the evening.
@@spacecomma9589 True, but we still got to make our decisions when it comes to legislation, even if these decisions aren't free.
The fact that all parties involved may be determined, doesn't mean that some laws should not be rethought or changed when we have more knowledge (the amount of which is also determined, but the more the better).
Hey Thoughty2! I absolutely love your videos! They are always well-researched and well-made. Could you please make a video about the philosophy of ethics or moral theory? i.e. Utilitarianism vs Kantian Ethics. I am really interested in it and I think it would make a great video!

@@triniti4785 my apologies, I misinterpreted what you were saying.
@@triniti4785 Time itself is an illusion. In the "big scale" you already made your decisions. The whole "I" concept is illusion. You can't have free will because "you" dont acctually exist.

I started thinking about this when I was about 15 or so, I could never explain it to my parents or friends though. Everyone just thought I was stupid or insane. I'm still unsure if we have freewill. Doubt it.
You dont select where you are born or as what you are born, you dont pick your parents either so you get a random body with a random brain configuration that impacts how you think and you are basically programed by outside world and other people as you grow up and live your life. Every action is just a reaction based on your experiences and instincts... so every choice you make isnt a "choice" it's a reaction.
Makes sense but for me I’ve been through a lot of rough experiences I’ve encountered many negative people and have had my fair share of trauma but even so I still managed to be a more positive person.
I’ve known people who have gone through worse than me as well and many of them still manage to stay positive despite their experiences. So I believe we have the ability to allow what does and doesn’t impact us. I could be wrong but that’s my take.
There was an interesting story that my Mother told me. Not sure if it was real or if this was a campfire tale. Anyway she claimed a man in our town gradually became more and more violent with his wife and family over a period of months. He essentially became a total ba$tard. After a short period of this worsening behaviour, he went missing. Two weeks later he was found dead in an alleyway, far from home. His autopsy found he died from a brain tumour.

@@gJonii how is this teengar edgy? what the hell?
Well the answer is a soft " no".
possible answers for free will are the following:
" no"
"yes"
"maybe"
" who knows"
"who's asking?"
" who wants to know?"
"how much?"
"when?"
"who cares?"
"all of the above"
"none of the above"
The answer in this video is most definitely not "no".
It's "we don't know yet for these reasons (...)".
Knowing what you don't know and why you don't know is the actual skeptical position.
@@edofluit6568 The "determinism contradicts free will" idea is super popular among high schoolers, based on the sophisticated understanding of philosophy you only get on courses preparing you for philosophy 101.
In short, what this video is about is so called "Libertarian free will". It's a concept that was more or less invented to be refuted. No one believes in it and in general anyone who understands any of philosophy won't think it's a desireable quality, logically coherent quality, or the quality words "free will" should refer to.
Making it the perfect high schooler target. It's a concept that falls apart on its own, so refuting it is easy, and the conclusion, after sneakily adding "free will = libertarian free will", is super obviously stupid and contrarian.
"You don't have free will, but don't worry." Free will is incompatible with the currently known laws of nature and why the idea makes no sense anyway. However, you don't need free will to act responsibly and to live a happy life. - Sabine Hossenfelder
You need free will to act responsible. If you don't have free will you will murder that guy who drives to slowly in a fast lane no matter what if you have to do that
@@user-zi8lg5qu1h, Quantum uncertainty doesn't mean that our will is completely predicable, and we are not responsible about our will. But because of the uncertainty in our mind sometimes our mind doesn't give the output we want. And it is about the output of our will which we can't control. Our will (Chethana/Karma) has a previous cause, but that previous cause is based on our habits and practices, so even if we can't change the previous cause or will it always has a stream of habits and practices. The middle way is the answer. Training the mind from deep meditations can change the determinism, because the meditation is the best way we can change our quantum behaviour by changing deeper levels of the mind to disconnect our mind from the world around us to develop a locality inside the mind. I think if we can use our mind to change the quantum fabric of the space (quantum foam, particles etc) as much as and as far as possible then it can help to change our path. If we don't try to change our mind, then we just follow the stream of the world around us. The Buddha showed us a way to go against the stream. According to Buddhism there is a very small determinism which related habits and practices of people who continue it many life times.
@@smlanka4u Interesting take. One can get over cause and consequence and do something based on some other factors like personal morals etc. But that still is a determanisam because that individual is wired that way, if you get what I want to say. Our minds can't really make random decisions, when you have a choice that doesn't matter like touch left panel or right one which are completely identical and no matter whcih you choose nothing will happen, your decision will be still based on some unconscious factors. But just because our minds work that way doesn't mean that they are uncapable of doing something else.
@@user-zi8lg5qu1h, I think we can change the format of the mind from meditation which can rapidly change the path of our actions. Imagine, if you can see how the mind works and if you can change the structure of the brain and the mind then you can you can take the control of your mind and actions better than others. I don't say that meditation can help us to remove determinism completely, but we will be able to see how determinism works and then we can try to change the direction of it to get the result we want.

"COCKATRICE"! 😂😂😂😂😂 and the noise when he burned!! 😅😅😅
randomly watching this video and the town the hung the elephant in 1916 is actually my hometown. paying respect to elephants is a big thing here now. every year we paint these vinyl elephants and auction them and the proceeds go to an elephant sanctuary it’s actually pretty cool.
Original title: "Do You Have Free Will?"
Answer: Nope!
That's impossible to know for sure
Reason being, there's no way to know if any thought in your head was something you thought, or some higher being put it there. It kinda comes full circle, in that the fact that the thought of thinking about if you have free will could be put there by someone or something else. Kinda hurts my brain to think about.
Unless you're from china or north korea
@@CRzyHDedJHny if we assume logic than it is definitively true.
@@SkaterBlades even there you have free will, there's just concequences to your actions that not everyone has to experience.
Claiming to not have free will is running away from responsibility of your own actions. If in case you seriously consider free will to not exist then are prisons, death sentences etc even humane to exist when the “poor” criminal had no “free will” ??
The implications for criminal policy are irrelevant to the basic question. You either have free will or you don't.
"Heeeyyyy Thoughty2 here"........ somehow this intro always manages to put a smile on my face.
Video title: "Does free will actually exists?"
Actual video: "Criminal bears scared with disco lights, demon chickens and quantum physics"
Video conclusion: "Who cares?"
"Do you have free will?"

10:06 lol, "casual determinism" Its causal determinism

Dont ever stop making videos. U the only thing that hasnt changed in my life
Hate the people who are always so proud of themselves bc they think they have free will. It's also the most common argument against the idea that we are animals and thus something better.
@Royce Well, it's not like the kind of hate that I would like to kill them or smth. It's more like that some are getting really on my nerves. And I am talking about people who are really proud that they have free will. People who brag about how idividual they are.
Second, I don't see humans so nihilistic. I think it is nice when people live happy bc it is very hard for some to be happy nowdays. Especially when you were confronted with many bs people.
I just don't like arrogancy as much no matter how talented/hard earned/gifted they are
@Hippy Dippy That's right. Maybe I should have said it better. What I really meant was that there is a common belief that the only difference between human and animals is that we have free will.
I don't get this. If we posit that free will exists, for the sake of conversation, why would animals NOT have it? Not having a mind as developed and functional as a human's doesn't mean they wouldn't have some vestige.
@@theradgegadgie6352 I said it's a common belief. Doesn't mean i think the same
@Illustra I didn't say that. I asked would would anyone say they didn't have it, assuming we accept for the moment that it exists at all.
“Do you have free will?”
My wife: Yes
Me: I’m married...of course not.
Your wife's boyfriend: Yes.
Of course not, your wife is spending it all. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
You brought up a “Cockatrice” something I never hear brought up by anybody, ever. Literally, but it is something that which is the mascot of “Good Mythical Morning” are you a GMM fan?’ You should go on an episode. That would be a dream come true!!!
It was determined your script would autocorrect 'Causal' to 'Casual'.
