determinism/freewill is an an illusion caused by time. as you cannot go back to change an action, you never know if that action is pre-ordained or as a result of your choice.
ie, there is an objective question that i randomly guessed A after a coin toss. i will never know if i am meant to choose A (determinism) or i am voluntarily choosing A or randomly choosing A (free will) |

QUOTE(perswis @ Oct 16 2009, 03:19 PM) If one have to choose which one, then yes I'd say determinism. no they stop doing things because they are meant be be lazy bums. those that keep on striving are meant to be the opposite Having said that, I still like to say it like I said it earlier. This is because there are 'simpletons' out there who simply stop doing things with the excuse of "it doesn't matter! all have been determine".  |
