Pardon me, but I think the subject's being derailed here, the question wasn't whether suicide is or could be a good or bad thing. The topic is mainly about "what" could possibly unfold for someone...

Best answer so far, I liked the way you described things.

Also a wise man once told me, having free will is like being on a train that's moving north, you can't change the path the train moves but...

That's why it's a called a paradox.

My point is, the only way to prove you have the ability to drink it is by doing it. If you drink it, I argue that you didn't have the ability to not drink it, how will you prove me wrong?

The premise is having the ability to choose up to n-1 options from a set of n available options, wherein those selected choices could be any but not all of all available options.



Fits well...

Well you've mentioned my own point exactly, you can't logically prove is exists, you can't prove it doesn't exist either BUT if you prove it does exist, you also prove that it can't exist so it's a...

I didn't quite understand the relevance of this sentence of yours but regardless, my point was:

There are three outcomes and all of them point out that free will can't exist:
1) You fail to prove...

That's my point, it's impossible to logically prove my claim therefore it remains unresolved and free will doesn't exist because you can't satisfy the assumption requirements BUT if you somehow...

Let me make another example:

I ask you to pick 1, 2 or 3 and only pick one, prove you have the ability to pick either 1, 2 or 3. The moment you give me the number you picked, I argue that you...

How can you prove that a chain of previous events and thoughts set from the very beginning of existence hasn't set things up for you to make that No choice at the present? That's my point. How do you...

Definition of Free Will (Assumption): We assume having free will means having the ability to pick one or more choice(s) (but not all) out of definite or indefinite choices; that one or more choice(s)...

Thanks for all the answers, out of your answers @John Sorensen provided the best. I'd appreciate if others could tell their opinions also.

What's your opinion on suicide? What would happen to those who willingly take their own life after death? Will they be forced to watch the pain of their family and relatives and suffer or can they...

What's your opinion on suicide? What would happen to those who willingly take their own life after death? Will they be forced to watch the pain of their family and relatives and suffer or can they...

I think I got your point, you were trying to say the perception of time becomes more solid as we age.

Well I'm not old at all, in fact I'm quite young.

When I close my eyes I see colored balls (borderless filled circles), if I pay enough attention they become like a 3D sphere but I'm not sure what they are but I know most people see those.

I don't know how to interpret this, but I have experienced 3 instances where something I saw or perceived was clearly and obviously altered in a later date. It felt like I saw it wrong the first time...

Yeah, I've noticed this since I was a kid but didn't think of it as such a big deal. I remember reading an article about it on eHow (I think, or maybe it was HowStuffWorks?) that said something like...

link broken?

Different regions of the world are dominated by different religions. Jews, Christians, Muslims and the list goes on... Divine religions are those provided by the prophets claiming to spread God's...

I've said this before: Free will, whether in its true meaning or in any meaning is merely an illusion and can't be real. We are nothing more than CPUs proccessing a program (human, animal, etc.).

" Why?! ", asks the officer. The convict replies, " We rape, murder and steal for if we do not, there would be no need for you. You'd lose your job and wouldn't be able to feed your families anymore....

I look half-inch to side of target against black background and I see a half-inch aura appear which is often the same color as object. For human skin I see a pale white aura but for other objects...

I am looking half-inch to the side (is that peripheral? :-D) to see the aura and the only way I can see indefinitely is by blinking or looking away then looking back.

I have to admit that I...
