You want to kill someone, you can.
You want to eat cat food, you can.
That's free will. -

When you give people choice their decision is partly determined by how they interpret those choices, their past experiences, cultural background, emotional state, environment etc.
You think reading this was a choice and that is the illusion.
You didn't chose your sex, you didnt chose your body, you didnt chose your soul, and you sure as hell didn't chose to read this.
Absolute free will would be both impractical and nearly unimaginable. My best attempt at describing it would probably be something like imagining a display showing up in your brain every time you receive input. This display would present every possible outcome from interacting or not interacting with the information AT THE SAME TIME! The sheer volume of choices would lead to sensory overload, giving you the ultimate brain fart and making decision-making impossible. Its just not feasable.

Hmm.. maybe i shoulda said "when the world presents you with choice"
Or maybe i shouldn't give a fuck about low iq indiviudals and their non-existing ability to intepret things the way they were meant to be. -

2024-10-14 at 11:38 PM UTCI knew an elderly couple, sister and brother in their 90s, who ate cat food. One time I went into the kitchen and it stunk of cat food, and she was at the counter spreading cat food on slices of bread. I asked her if they were OK, and she said they were fine.

What other fond memories do you have of your parents?
