And you don’t think that link tells an incredibly interesting “story” (or “explanation”) behind the existence of free will? You just pushed my question back slightly - why is free will a necessity in your world view? It isn’t really supported by the materialist-reductionist-Scientism world view, so you must have found some “story” you like as the explanation, am I right?
I didn't say free will was a necessity either.
So the existence of free-will explains the existence of evil...but free-will doesn’t... necessarily.... exist? Do I have that right? And that philosophy illuminates your understanding of existence how?
Indeed.
Why does objective reality need to illuminate my understanding of existence? It is what it is.
Ehhhh that’s some of that materialist-reductionist thinking I was hoping to avoid. You might not see it this way, but you are living out Nietzsche’s death of God. Through no fault of your own necessarily, merely the society we are born into, and remain in unless we allow ourselves to leave.
Cheers big guy
Not at all.
And I don't believe in the "materialist-reductionist-Scientism world view" either. Geez, quite a mouthful.
So wait, you’re rejecting this (the OP) understanding of the world, in favor of what, exactly?
And if it isn’t clear, I’m not posting this to suggest that all of it is literally true and it’s the explanation behind anything - it could be total non-sense - BUT - it’s probably the best explanation I’ve come across for many of these essential, and incredibly difficult, questions relating to our existence both physical and spiritual.
I guess part of the reason I posted it, is to see if anyone has come up with anything better?
Nope, rejecting the necessity of evil part. Where did I say I rejected everything he said?
Ok... so it’s just sprinkled with “bullshit” that you “don’t buy”...but it also contains valuable truths worth discussing? Is that correct? And you chose to skip over those entirely to discuss exclusively the “bullshit”?
That just doesn’t make sense to me
