  • We don’t have free will but we have the experience of freedom.

    Aspect often left out in this discussion is the rather apparent fact that “self” is an illusion. There’s no “you” in a sense that there’s this some kind of immaterial being that’s living behind your face, looking out in the world and making decisions. There’s just consciousness and its content. The sense of self is an appereance in consciousness. We experience the world from our individual perspective and it creates the illusion of there being a self that’s authoring all our thoughts and actions but there zero evidence of such thing existing. In fact according to split-brain studies it seems like your brain hemispheres don’t even agree with eachother.




  • “Lie”

    It’s a theory. A plausible but unlikely one. Just like it was unlikely that the first atomic bomb would set the atmosphere on fire - but possible. I think that events with consequences of this magnitude deserves some consideration. I doubt humans are anywhere even near the far end of the intelligence spectrum and only a human is stupid enough to think that something that is would not posses any potential danger to us.
