  • Possible case : me. I often forget my seat belt. Fortunately, most people remind me about it and then I immediately fasten it.

    The reason is simple. I think I use a car, always as a passenger, like 3 times a year. When I used to drive, it was such an automatic gesture I’d never forget it. But it’s so easy to forget when it becomes very rare. Everything is hypnotizing when you enter a car. I’m glad the driver reminds me, but I could be OP’s lost one.



  • Cuddles maybe. Some homeless people care about their cats more than their own life. The nerve some people have to rob them of their cats… I’ve seen it happen recently. I knew the guy, called him. He recognized his cat. The young couple said the cat would be better off with them than with a hobo. Needless to say, we “retrieved” the cat.

    So no Miku, don’t do that.






  • By pushing the idea that the humain brain is capable of “free” decision making to adapt to its environment without being forced by external factors it seemed to me that it implied an exception, or, otherwise, you’d be forced to extend that hypothesis to all living beings, and causality would surely take offense ?

    I’m answering, but I see what you mean, and I generally agree with it. I just tend to think the idea of free orientation/action is both dangerous and the reason of a lot of human suffering. I’m also a compatabilist, but I another way I suppose.




  • If we’re to rely on facts and facts only, I’ll argue its internal decision making is itself clearly determined by several factors, most if not all of them being determined causally.

    I’m quite sure this addition erases the mere idea “free(dom)” and “free will”, which would somehow escape universal determinism, hence creating a special case in the laws of causality for humanity only.

    Edit : changed phrasing because I answered after reading your first paragraph. Then I read the second one.
