Comments on: Fate and Free Will: Whose side are you on? http://philosophy.unenlightenedenglish.com/?p=92 Mon, 06 Sep 2010 14:39:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Joseph http://philosophy.unenlightenedenglish.com/?p=92&cpage=1#comment-111 Joseph Mon, 06 Sep 2010 14:39:53 +0000 http://philosophy.unenlightenedenglish.com/?p=92#comment-111 Thanks for asking Rikker, I'll try to answer as best I can. There is nothing metaphysically or universally wrong with it, but my guess is you wouldn't go running through the woods looking for a bear to copulate with. I wouldn't be suprised if the rest of the population felt the same way. In some ways this argument shows that humans don't just do anything. Their actions are fairly consistant and uniform rather than sporadic and random. The universe in all its vastness, follows a similar pattern as well. It doesn't deviate from the norm. This is why complete free will is discarded by several philosophers. If there was free will everyone would do whatever they wanted without any predictable pattern to follow.

I can't think of a good argument for it. I can think of many reasons why people would not want to do it, but not why it would be "wrong" per se. Sorry, I can’t resist:

The choices that I make are based on the previous events, so how is that free will entirely. Wow what a great post.
