he and his buddy argued free will
more often than he liked
however his
buddy was an acolyte obsessed with Sam free
will does not exist Harris He’s a neuroscientist. Yahso when
did he last practise I don’t think that
matters, he’s a doctor. So out of hand Im
to submit to his title All I’m saying is
that he’s smart. Is he making his living
as a neuroscientist Im sick an tired of
flashed credentialsflaunting Once-upon-a-time achievements tired of physicians politicians now who havent practised in better than ten years
and then tout that theyre physicians regarding subjects entirely outside their realmtheir
particular an narrow training Tired of
them flaunting themselves inferring we ought kowtow to their particular opinion
or argument while they disregard how fortunate they aredisregard their
entitlement to have been afforded the pursuit of their doctorate
However, achieving it, all I’m
saying is he was smart enough to earn it.
Who was his adviser More than likely if his advisor had something
to saybeing that they were likely a practising physicianpractising for a
considerable length of time Id consider their
remarks Which isnt to say Id
particularly value what they imparted I
believe putting on their pants they put them on one leg at a time as myself But if the muthafucker can levitate in midair
put on their pants I may value their
input
preaching the Gospel of No Such Thing
As Free Will Harriss 2009 doctoral thesis was The Moral Landscape: How Science
Could Determine Human Values
it was shepherded by Dr. Mark S.
Cohen who has been a practising neuroscientist since 1985
Mr Harris originally an English major at Stanford 1986 was
induced by an experience with empathogen-entactogen MDMA colloquially known as Ecstasy which led him to believe that he might be
able to achieve spiritual insights without the use of drugs
hmm not a lot of people taking drugs looking for
spiritual insights
Mr Harris then left Stanford and
for eleven years studied meditation with Hindu and Buddhist teachers in Nepal
and India nice gig if you can get it before returning to Stanford for a philosophy
degree he began his first book ENGLISH
The End of Faith after September 11
his buddy because Sammy touts nada free will and because
Sammy is one of the Four Horsemen of the Non-Apocalypse Richard Dawkins Christopher Hawkins
(deceased) Daniel Dennett Hawkins and
Dennett were compatibilists regarding free will Hawkins the humourous piqued . . we must
believe in free will we have no choice
therein lies
a coin toss between smart men
his buddy couldnt cite any smart
women who touted nada free will
why should he take the word of
four whitetwo particularly geriatric white men
Kinda misogynistic dude
Free will is an illusion.
It is not I have free will As a matter of fact denying your free will is
an illusion is a matter of free will a matter of choice
It is not, our wills are not of
our making. Our thoughts and intentions . .
.
. Here we go our DNA decides
Let me finish.
Our thought and
intentions emerge from background causes, DNA, or otherwise, which we are
unaware of . .
.
. Unwoke
Would you please let me finish,
you’re always interrup . .
.
. So when you put a gun in your mouth to blow out yer brains I shouldnt interrupt
exasperated I’m not going to do tha . .
.
. Yadon know that ya havent free will Excuse
me as yawere sayin
I was saying there are background
causes which we are unaware of, and over which we exert no conscious control.
No conscious control
No conscious control. We do not have
the freedom we think we have.
If I may a brief experiment Im going to take a sip of beer that I poured for mefor you he took a sip of his beer Ive exercised free will deciding whether or
not to sip my beer
Yare telling me
Im wrong
You haven’t free will.
Spoken like a true acolyte a true
believer
What initiatedanimated their
headknocking hornlocking free will conversation was a tit or tat regarding
coercion versus persuasion
his buddy thought persuasion sounded
nicer
Yare being euphemistic softpedaling
it Say what it is Say it tersely It is coercion
I disagree.
Exhibiting free will
No. Semantics.
OhShit
earlier they vied back and
forth sphincter his buddys word anus his
Sphincter maybe slightly more
nuanced then anus or ass when relating to someone . . . words matter!
Jesus Nuanced
The word is anus
Words are like tools, you choose
the appropriate one best suited to a job at hand.
Anhow pray tell is sphincter more appropriate a more appropriate tool than anus There is but one anus the body has multiple sphincters There is only one Holy Anus
Ok, ok, you’re obviously taking a
deeper dig into this subject, this disagreement. Let’s talk about something else.
Yare fuckin hilarious you ought to at least acknowledge the human body has
multiple sphincters and one anus particularly when anus was our point of contention It wasnt about semantics there was no need to
extol euphemistically otherwise
Why areya so
uncomfortable
