Re: A revolution in thought
How is moving in the direction of greater satisfaction a limitation or elimination of our will rather than an exercise of our will? Why would somebody will themselves to be less satisfied?
I actually accept that humans make choices that they prefer in their pursuit of happiness. I just don't understand how you go from that to "no free will".
Here's a serious question for you to consider. How would having free will look any different than not having free will? Even if we had the most extreme form of free will ever posited by anyone...would that somehow lead to people choosing what they don't prefer? How would you know they are not choosing that which is most preferable freely?
With other laws of nature, we can describe a world in which that law doesn't hold. Can you do so with this law of nature?
