Determinism vs Free Will boogaloo

[Anonymous No.11210532]

Get in here anons and comment on pic related and duke it out and add something else if it is relevant . Are you team free will or team determinism

because i was born sprinting in desperation towards any information i can keep hold of and now i'm burned out on stupid, need huge points congested into bite size sentences to play with

>the future does not pre-exist
How is that relevant in a discussion about free will? If I write a computer program thats counts to 100, the 100 count does not "pre-exist," but when I execute the program it can do nothing but count to 100.

We can function against our programming. We program ourselves if we happen to be aware enough.

Whether someone believes what you stated there or not, it does not address what I said, about arguing that the "future does not pre-exist." You can believe both that we are subject to our own "programming," or that we can "function against" it, while either believing or not believing that the future "pre-exists." Something being inevitable doesn't necessarily have to be interpreted as already existing. Seems like more of a thought exercise on how time functions and not free will.

The destination is inevitable not the path?

Question for determinists. If someone who's determined to prove he has free will simulate our universe knowing the starting point of our universe and all of physics. Why wouldn't he with acess to this simulation be able to break what he was predetermined to do? And if the simulation can perfectly predetermine what he thinks as he sees the simulation and determine what he will do as he sees himself in his simulation. What is keeping him from breaking from the path the simulation has set for him?

Him creating the simulation and reacting to it is already predetermined in the sense that he will only react one way. The simulation will also include his simulated self making his own simulation and reacting the same way and so on and so forth.

>>11210622
Because he was predetermined to solve then break it?

>Yes. But this implies the simulation can tell him something that will make him want to stick on the course the calculation has set for him. If the simulation says X will do y he can just do z instead.

His simulated self will also do the same thing in reaction to the simulation he creates. The original person cannot react to the simulation in anyway his simulated self does not because they are the same and the respective simulations they react to will be the same.

[Anonymous No.11210656]

>>11210650
Again what kind of thing could someone possibly see in such a simulation that they couldn't just defy? "x will react in y way after seeing his future" what's keeping x from just contradicting the simulations dictates?

[Anonymous No.11210663]

>>11210656
It's not that the person can't defy it, it's that him defying it is already predetermined.

nigga do you not understand the significance of the infinity mirror image I posted? It doesn't matter how far he gets out ahead of it, because it is still in the system, he ever deviated from it

This. "Defying" makes no sense as a concept.

free will vs determinism, read determinism vs fatalism.
free will implies metaphysics, fatalism implies an unchangeable fate, determinism merely implies cause and effect.
you will never be beyond the causal loop, per se, but you will be able to understand, and thus control everything else to your programmed liking. granted, you would have to know literally everything to a perfect degree, what with how chaotic the universe is.
ultimately, determinism is a less idiotic form of what the average brainlet thinks free will is.

>>11210683
This, Christ.

These are probably the most widely misunderstood concepts in pop science. Retards gobble it up - as if determinism and "free will" as we experience it are mutually exclusive.
"Chaos" is also deterministic for that matter, like you said.

So exactly what Bodhi said it is both

[Anonymous No.11210843]

we live in a two faced Existence, there is cause and effect but there is also the Observer that partakes in it, if a person knew everything and every possibility there is, do you think they could not change their “future” outcome? while people focus on the two extremes, focus on the middle point of both.

There is already a word for this, compatibilism.

>>11210656
No one is addressing that you are right, he could defy the prediction.

The man can predict the future using the simulation, so causality has already been broken, and thus determinism.

The fact that we can have thought experiments about non-deterministic realities (ex. religion) does not prove that our own reality is non-deterministic.

LOL oh anon you are so on track it's not even funny. Are you aware though? It does not seem so.

>free will implies metaphysics
the fuck? free will implies awareness of the elements and variables at play in the universe as well as their effects and consequences over an extended period of tiem as well as a desire to interfere with said elements and variables in an attempt to make this fucked up place hospitable to our emotional liking. Why the fuck did you bring metaphysics into this shit?
