Hi There. Lets keep skating on the razor edge.The Free Will exists.
This essay will be one of the shortest here,concerning the proliferation of positions around the Free Will question through history, in this ultimate blog… hehe.
The Question of the existence or not of the Free Will of the Human Parasite has occupied thousands of “thinkers”, religious types and filled thousand of pages.
If one looks throughout the History Crime Scene, some funny facts pop out. Most of the intellectuals, scientists and especially physicists deny the existence of the Free Will in various shades of, some, half, little and none or whole.
HMM, lets keep skating on the razor edge, between determinism and indeterminsm and all the rubbish of history you can think of.
Lets start with the origin of the Free Will. The Witchdoctor proof is twofold in manyfold twists, as any dialectic proof is.
The origin of the Free Will, unbelievable as it sounds, is contained and it sprouts out of Godel ( And Tarski) Theorem.”In 1931, Austrian-born mathematician Kurt Gödel shook the academic world when he announced that some statements are ‘undecidable’, meaning that it is impossible to prove them either true or false.”
Well, dear reader, it is the Incompleteness theorems that prove the origin of the Free Will. Any good dialectician, as was even proved in Ancient Greek times with the Sophists,Socrates, etc, can, for better or worse, deconstruct ANY concept to a point when it becomes pure nonsense. Witchdoctor has shown the method in many posts here.
The undecidability or incompleteness is a fact, and it is a fact of everyday life. Read WD Principle of Contradiction and the series of the Principle of the Not Known Builder.
The second proof is the classical Buddhist (meta)physics. The Ignorance as a concept from where the manyfold manifestations arise in conditioned origination.This ignorance concept is not the explanation given to the word as it is in the dictionary, it is much more complex.
OK. Lets skate on the razor and cut it short. Free Will arises from the situation where you are on the point when you have to decide.
Since this point is essentially every point, as is proven by your ignorance and incompleteness,you decide and that is your free will.
Now, you might not decide and let somebody else decide for you, you may be prevented by circumstances to decide, but it is your choice, always. You may be a serf, as Etienne De la Boetie has written in his Voluntary Serfdom, and let your Free Will at disposal for others.. This only proves that you abstain and go with the flow. As usual, many, too many do.
It is way past Midnight and you are standing at the Traffic Lights. There is nothing, not a living soul in sight. You might decide as a good Scandinavian, to wait till the light turns Green and then go. Or, as a good Mediterranean, since there is nobody in sight, you go and decide to pass, whatever light is on, red or green.
Now some think if there is urgency, you are pressed and in hurry, you choose to go with the red light with no living soul in sight. You decide. But, as a good Mediterranean, you pass with the no living soul in sight on any color the light blinks. That is a metaphor of how much you are constrained by the circumstances. Even if you do feel constrained,feel not constrained, you can do it. Except for the Scandinavian, in winter, with the Aurora Borealis shining around him, deep in the dark with the Traffic lights, he waits.
OK, there are also some law abiding Mediterraneans, whatever does it means.
By the way, your local Military and generals just made a coup.They decided that they have the right to do it. You have decided, what?
By the way, you are a nice girl and somebody has decided that is you who must go and fetch water, pretty far walking, in the Refugee Camp. When you go to fetch it, the men rape you, as it happens often in the refugee camps.They decided it, it was their own Free Will, you did not have the gun to kill them in self defense.
Red or Green? True or false, as Godel.
Ok, you stand in front of the Traffic lights. They go red, green, red, green and you can not decide to go.. Well, sorry, you can stay there and Wait, but there is Time passing and that is how you decide.The Time solves the undecidability, and you decide. Since many of the scientists think that there is no time or Time Arrow in how universe works, they are there, waiting to decide in front of the traffic lights, You can see them in cue, waiting, all Nobel winners!
You decide out of undecidability. It might be wrong or right, but that is not the Origin of the Free Will, that are the consequences. And this is the Human parasite story of the History Trash pilot wave. Piling of heaps of mostly wrong turns of decisions.Because somebody had the hand on the trigger while exercising his Free Will, which was concerning YOU.
The Quantum wave collapse is also an argument for the Free Will, but it is much weaker and Time is not ripe to use it as a definite proof.
By the way, Christine Lagard , ECB, has warned Italy of too much debt and that Italy has to reduce it asap. Since Italy is growing at minus zero, they , but Lagard is quiet on how to do it, they have to raise taxes to pay off the debt . They have to do it (raise taxes) in their situation, with no Money Tree, only by raising taxes.By rising taxes they are out of the market, non competitive, and the populace of Citrulli will not spend, not buy, and loose jobs because they are non competitive and so they will go even in more debt and sooner in default.
Christine Lagarde has decided. What the Citrulli had decided?
They stay in front of the traffic lights. The lights go red, green, red, greeen.. red…..
They are in the Godel undecidability moment.. They Wait, Time passes, debt rises,they wait.
This might be a proof of no Free Will? They have decided they have none.
Dear reader, you have read the Witchdoctors proof. You decided that the proof is not enough.Yes, you are free to do do it.You decided it is not enough for existence of the Free Will.
Witchdoctor also decided. He decided yes.
So, we have decided.
It is the Free Will, for both.
Witchdoctor told you, the proof is twofold.
Not to mention the Bible; there are two sides of everything, the left and the taken.
This is, along with the Syndrome of the Promised Land, a prologue to the almost final part of the Principle of the Not Known Builder.
Witchdoctor
Or,Keep skating on the razor edge.
OPS!
Witchdoctor, as usual, has forgotten one result of the Free Will which dismantles the fundamentals of mainstream economics. Since Free Will arises from Undecidability, Incompleteness and Ignorance, all economics based on rational agents , perfectly informed market and the famous X diagram of market clearing and perfect allocation is PURE BOLLOCKS. It is the Free Will which prevents it.
