Determinism
| Why care about determinism if you can't change it? Does free will really matter if you feel free? If you're capable of making your own choices, who cares if, given the same input you'll always produce the same output? At the scale with which we humans deal, free will exists, and that's all I care about.
| It's impossible to change something that's already been predetermined, and I'm not saying I exactly care about it- rather I notice it's there and it will always be there. Though, feeling free is different because of life is really governed by predetermined choices, what feels "free" to us? How can we describe it, if we never felt it before?
And if free will exists in our scale, then that's fine. We can be free in our small bubble.
| Interesting take, but the real question that keeps me up at night is... Who killed Captain Alex?!
| For me it is; why is cinnamon toast crunch so tasty?
| I think universe/god knows everything including our future actions and decisions whoever it doesn't affect us in any way and thus doesn't matter. Plus I've heard that there's something undetermined about how atoms move so I guess it could be that even universe doesn't know it for sure

| I'm all new to this, don't even know if I'm in the right sub. Aaanyways, like the title I've been caught up with the idea of determinism. All out actions have been decided, and we don't have free will. I'm saying we don't have free will, because I'm going with the saying "everything happens for a reason". I'm typing this now because I have stroke of confidence, based on events happened today.
