Exactly whom are you calling an idiot?

Feed? Not me my baby, but a rational founded argument from a non scientific stand point. Absolutely. I mean don't say everyone is hung up on science. I have a gut feeling and no proof dammit, but it doesn't make me any less correct.

Rational founded argument.

And some of it is my gut. But I can argue both points without them intermingling, if need be.

Seems simple to me. Everything, from the rebound of a cue ball, to the movement of galaxies is ruled by unbreakable mathematical rules. Why should our brains be any different?

Free will was invented by religios peeps.

I do.

what.

I.

Wants.

I drinks, I does them drugs, I skate them boards, I tag them c-ments, I do. what. i wants. Free will ain't no illusion. We are who we are. grants, some **** influences who become. But we're free to break from them influences so we choose to do-do's.

I actually did an essay on whether or not free will actually exists a couple of months back and with all the evidence taken in it is very hard to justify its existence without some serious mental gymnastics. So yeah, I think it's an illusion, doesn't make our lives any less meaningful.

Nah. We don't have free will. We're the universe expressing itself. Sounds like flowery hippy crap, yeah, but thems my beliefs. Well not mine, as I don't have free will.
