Free Will
Hello,
I have been thinking...if the universe is just blind forces that interact with each other, where does free will and consciousness come in to play? |

Tinkering with the brain can distorts its thinking. Our brains have deviced a way to understand the Universe. The very large, with Relativity & very small with quantum mechanics. Perhaps the theory of everything rest in understanding the 11 dimensions than make up the infinitesimal bubbles of the pulsating strings responsible for consciousness. |

Unless you embrace the idea of a supernatural there is no source for your free will. Is the supernatural what you are suggesting? |
Yes to calpurnpiso.but no matter how much you mess with the brain you will always have something inside that makes a descision, either choosing on or off.

A question for theists would be "Do chimps have free will."
As they are said not to have an immortal soul, I would expect the answer to be no, and yet they appear to make decisions just as we do.... That whole other-life-isn't-special-like-us thing is very problematic. |

My deepest apologies.
So where do you think free will comes from then? Your thoughts are a chemical reaction, so what prompts them? |
