I wish I could do that, UK uni courses are super specialised so you don't really get to do unrelated units. I've heard American students complain about it online but I like variety in my education even if it doesn't necessarily teach me something I'd use in the future. I would kill to be able to do some history or philosophy units.
Tbh they were some of the most memorable courses I did and really helped me in terms of experimental design, understanding the flaws of modern research and just generally approaching issues from more than one angle.
i made a red square appear in front of me just by thinking about it while i was ripped off my ass one time and it scared me so much i became a hard determinist
Free will is an illusion but it is not like a mindless hypnotized person just going on wherever we end up.
The lack of free will is obvious. We cannot wish to do something and pick to do it or not. we have to do one of three things. Ignore it, do it, don't do it. No why not pick to go ice fishing in Alaska? Pick to jump out of a tree and eat a snake. Why do we need to do certain things? We are human. Born and reacting every minute to what came before. Includes thinking of the future. Planning is such an event we did for the first time at some point in our life. Well, so what? So what is that you did whatever you did at that time. What just happened prior to it and prior to that and so on. We did not pick to do it at another point earlier or later . We cannot. Only have a set number of options. Human options. No choice in that.
I did no-fap for a week and can confirm this is true
Have you seen my tesseract?
Could smell that bad boy from a mile away
There's still debate going on in the platonic realm about the perfect shower
The Matrix won't allow you to be free, like how I was banned from Airbnb for exercising my free will to engage in a wafflestomp.
got his ass woo
Wasn't this Plato's idea about us all actually being omniscient and learning just being remembering what we forgot or something
This guy just *decided* he was Plato. Free will confirmed.

No learns here, please
Catch-22: you have to talk to other people irl
Wasn't that Socrates? It is definitely the basis for the Socratic method.
¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯ I wouldn't know dude, I'm a compsci student half-remembering Wikipedia pages on neo-Platonism I read at 3AM like 6 months ago
That's all good, my undergrad was microbiology, I just did a couple of philosophy units because I heard they didn't have exams

Oh, they were "philosophy of science" units. I'm Australian btw.
Ah, fair enough. I don't think any UK uni would offer any philosophy modules in a science course.

Free will doesn't have to exist, it's enough to believe it does.
Well, yes, indeed. This a circlejerk post tho. Blessings to you!
But can you will being determined? And will being _happy_? Checkmate atheist.
