tpfkar I have always argued that all is cause and effect, that we're right there in it part and parcel, and free will is us making decisions via us and acting on them. I haven't changed in this regard one iota. Libet's interpretation does not make sense to me nor is it consensus but is in fact highly disputed among "secular scientists and philosophers". I'm not interested in categories vs. just describing positions because people botch them both inadvertently and cynically attempt to use them to dismiss and avoid actually justifying positions and implications.
If true, then it is cute, cuddly, fuzzy and multicultural because Muslims are (mostly) brown. That takes precedence over any moral concern.So in other words, you don't know what free will is or how it works, or what the implications of it are, you are just extremely desperate for it to exist. This is reminiscent of people who lose their faith in mainstream Christianity and then experiment with all sorts of different types of 'spirituality' and different paradigms of 'God', so that they don't have to give up altogether on the idea that God exists. We are things. These things (via brain) makes choices. We act upon them. No "spirituality" involved other than your own, nor license to pretend we don't make choices and yet still choose to furiously attempt to persuade others to choose. No god in "we do our thing until we're dust, better get what you can out of it".
Morally I would be fine with post-birth abortions, but I realise that this would probably be too radical to ever be implemented. |
