Sam Harris - Free Will

[FlyFree]

I'll plonk it down here as I can't seem to find the metaphysics corner, either because my eyesight is going faster than my Adonis-ish physique or it's been canned coz it doesn't cover beer reviews.


I do believe some have an interest in the subject.

And they expect their opinions to be taken seriously and not to be laughed at, ridiculed and shat upon with utter disdain.

Lets hear the argument against free will, the basis of every humans ego and with greater potential impact on society than Darwins theory of evolution, in what, 5 mins?

too long to listen too
free will = the desire to do whatever the fuck i want.

if we have an 'insight' into something
this is an area where 'free will' does not operate.
it simply happens.

there is a difference between what the West calls Free Will and what the East says.
But desire, is what drives it.
All wrapped up in the complex world of organised religion or philosophy.
