Any one else fail to see what I am trying to say, have I worded it badly.
Sorry clueluss but I can't be any more clear than that.....
 
let me ask you this:
If the will was not free will how would you know it was being influenced?


I dont see what 1 has to do wit the other... but that cause an effect esists is inescapable... ie... i dont know of anythang that hapens wit-out cause... much less that ther can be an "un-influenced" thout aka free-will.!!!


the arguemtent is what i call a double bind. It is obvious that we have notions of absolute freewill becasue we also have notions of influence and vica versa.

So the will is free but subject to influence....


Give an esample of when "will" is not influenced.???


This is why we are always no matter who or what we are in state of "oppression". This state would not exist if we did nto have freewill.


What you'r callin oppression is what i call cause an effect... but no mater which term is used i still dont see any evidence of... or esamples of un-influenced will/free-will.!!!

so we have trouble managing our free will....this is not surprising ha...:)
the causes were some form of oppression....


So you agree ther was causes that made me loose my keys... but are you insinuatin that som thangs that hapen do not have causes... an if so... what is an esample of that.???
 
well....when you are totally unconscious your will is being uninfluenced and incapable of influencing in a proactive sense.

Thats no escape from influence... you'r body an inviroment is havin 100% influnence causin you to be unconscious... unless you know of a way that a person can be unconscious for no reason... but its ironic that you suggest that the joyous wonder of free-will as only occurin when you'r totaly unconscious.!?!?

unconsciousness [death as well] is the ultimate escape from oppression.
It is the only time your will is absolutely free of influence. Therefore the only time it has absolute freedom to do nothing.... after all what is a will but something to do something with...all the time you are conscious.
There's nothing to do when you are unconscious...so it is free....

I'm not sure whether or not you support free will or not but, will, whether it's influenced or not, all have reactions. Whether or not it's free. So that's not a valid arguement.
 
Free will exists in the human psyche as a romantic dream. The dying and suffering and the addicts and sick kids will tell you otherwise. We have only one of two options; life or death. Thus implicating the disingenuity of free will. We are governed by conditioning.
 
unconsciousness [death as well] is the ultimate escape from oppression.

You offer death as an escape from influence... but even in death... all the particals that made up you'r body will forever be acted upon... but can you give an esample of when a person has escaped influence while alive an alert.???

It is the only time your will is absolutely free of influence.


Can you give an esample of when a person is partialy free of influence while alive an alert.???

I suspect that thers no such thang as uninfluenced will/free-will... an i have no idea of you'r positon on free-will... but do you have thouts thar are not inlfuenced... ie... was the post you jus made uncaused.???

Hey clueless, who's sock are you ?
 
So the Hummer [to use the earlier example] is being restricted by the garage. Does this make the Hummer less able to fulfill it's potential given the opportunity?

Does loosing an internet connection somehow reduce my freewill? Nope but it does restrict it's expression...IMO

No... but thats meerly pontin out 1 of the influences actin on the hummer causin its curent situaton (cause an effect)... what i woud like to see is a situaton of when the hummer is free from influence.!!!

Loosin a internet connecton is jus 1 of the many thangs that influences an causes you'r curent behavior... i woud like to see an esample of when you'r behavior ant bein controled/influenced (while you'r alive an alert).!!!

In other words... you keep makin my argument by showin me esamples of cause an effect... an you only talk about un-influenced "will" as a potential... i woud like to see an esample of when that potential manifests itself... ie... an esample of an acton that wasnt caused (free-will).!!!

I dont see how restricting the expression of free will is any different than oppressing it.

Something like the internet cant be uninvented. Its all over the world already (in record pace) and I would say everyone has a right to see what everyone else thinks. (as belligerent as it is sometimes :p)
