I’m very anti-free-will-pilled rn. This new book Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will, argues all the baseline variables that precede action (our past, our current mood, our biology, our culture, etc) have an inescapable effect on our choices. To me, this is isn’t hopeless–it’s humanist! The alchemy of what motivates us is crazy! There is a traceable, individually justified reason for why we all do what we do. It’s helped me approach myself and others with openness and curiosity, instead of judgment. Like, think about the confluence of influences that drives one to goon. The world is magical place.

Is the entire universe playing out a deterministic event where everything that happens is the result of everything that came before it like a cosmic series of dominoes? Maybe! The likelihood that we have free will is contested by physicists, neuroscientists, and philosophers alike!
All I know is that it seems best to act as if we have free will. To assume a sense of agency and responsibility is more empowering than assuming we have no control.
Then again, that may just be what I’m predetermined to say and believe!

i believe/think we do have free will because consciousness has not and, likely, will not be explained by science. Why are we conscious? What *is* consciousness? If we find and answer to those questions, then yea maybe we are living out our little predetermined mission 🤷♀️

beautiful embroidered pattern and a visual reminder to everyone that passes you that Palestinians existence is resistance and that we must do everything in our power to stop this ethnic cleansing.
