Scott Domianus on Nostr: The idea that individuals have the capacity to “learn and choose“is also wrong. ...
The idea that individuals have the capacity to “learn and choose“is also wrong. The free will debate is very silly. Free will only exists if there is an individual sacrifice being made. An individual cannot make a choice outside of the framework of their social or cultural environment, unless they are making an individual sacrifice, otherwise they are just acting out of self interest. A choice is not a choice if it is a determinant outcome of self interest which can be in favor of family in-group out to polar political in-group. Everyone who is acting in self interest can be observed as acting in a determinant fashion.
