Maybe NPCS don't but I do. How do I know? I'm doing it right now. You can change how you think art the drop of a hat. Nothing is there to stop you.
Determinism and fatalism are the silliest philosophies I've encountered...
>You can change how you think art the drop of a hat
But if we were to look at the electric signals in your brain, you'd find out that these "changes" are happening before you consciously think of them.
If that it AT ALL true, then I ask you again the very first question, why do we think beforehand? You claim it's because we're not decision makers but rather just receptors, but that doesn't answer, why should we think and not just act? If our actions are pre-determined, why think of them before acting? Our brain already knows what to do, right? So why think beforehand?
When you are aware of the change it has already occured. The thought emerges and then it feels part of you. You don't decide it, because that would mean thinking how to think, and one cannot think the thought before one thinks the thought.
Please see the same exact point I've been making this whole thread here
Irrelevant why; how determines it. Nature cares not a wit for your need for clarification. It is a blind physical force.
>Uh, I'm right, you're wrong, sorry bud
Woah, great argument. Really showed me the way.
So you mean to say that if a person just doesn't think their life would be the exact same if they were too?
>It's not brain chemicals, it's not God, it's you
What is “you” in this sentence?
If you're an NPC, you wouldn't understand. It's the entity refereed to as Cognition, Awareness, and sometimes Soul. The scientists claim these are brain chemicals, but does not explain the inherent infinite imaginative and decision making abilities of this entity, which I think influences the brain chems, not the other way around.
