Blog post number #3: A Review About Free Will. Not Done By My Free Will.




These images are actual pieces of art made by Brian Chippendale. Drummer of Lightning Bolt. Enjoy that.

Let's just say that I agree with what Crazer had to say with Free Will. 

For those that don't know what I'm talking about, Major Crazer had a presentation presenting the idea that we really don't have this thing we call "Free Will". He showed us this by showing us multiple videos that explain through science experiments that we act not on free will but on triggered reactions to stimuli the brain has encountered before. I'll try digging up some these videos (but I'll just actually pull up more Brian Chippendale art).

This article makes a good point about how do we justify punishing criminals when they had no free will to make the choice to do their crime. Or punishing anybody for anything for that matter.


It also said in the article above that when people are told that they have no free will, they go out an act irresponsibly. Do you think maybe that's the Conscious (not "you" exactly) reacting to the new information given about the Subconscious? 


This article explains some of the science experiments used to wane one's opinion on the existence of free will. A lot of them showed in Crazer's presentation. Cosmological Determinism, Indeterminism, and Cosmological Libertarianism/Compatiblism is explained here.

I don't have much else to add so I'm not going to waste your time, but based on some of the things in these articles, I agree that we have no free will.
