The problem is that I do stand up to them, but i don't want to tell them to fuck off. I just want them to understand that I'd be better off doing it in the spring rather than fall (that is pretty much our disagreement because I actually do want to finish)

my parents told me today that I have to finish my degree no matter what. I've decided to kill myself instead. Please, someone talk me out of it.

lack of consistency is a function of english, not a failing of it

It wasn't goosebumps but I had one adventure where the first day of school of was filled with the undead and every kid in town just doesn't go that day but I was new in town so my sister and I showed up like idiots.

Which is why I generally walk away from the debate because it ultimately changes nothing, whether free will is present or not. And honestly dude, if cascading images of self-reference regarding other agents as well is objects is what produces the "sensation of free will" then it actually is just as good as free will. For I all know free will could be real but eternally obscured by our ability to impose order on chaotic material forms and therefor making us practically determined although materially free.

The Hobbit

It seems like we agree then? I personally think the debate exists beyond the realm of human expression and ultimately it can only be understood in a way that doesn't technically match reality. With that being said, the simplest way I resolve the question in my own head is by accepting what IB Singer had to say about it; "We have to believe in Free Will, we have no choice."

huh

>>11414974
well, yeah. And I wouldn't make such a claim. There are certainly fuckheads to drop acid.

Because "free will", within your view, is an illusion. I'm saying that the reductionist outlook doesn't explain anything about dasein. There isn't even a 1:1 connection between brain and mind. Saying "if we stimulate this part of the brain then the subject feels X" doesn't actually explain *what X is like* which is actually the important question.

I've struggled with the same shit, and I've taken it. Your best bet is to keep a couple of benzos laying around. If shit gets bad, and you know there is no chance of it going back the other way, pop the benzos. They will set you back down nice and easy within 20 minutes.

>>11414944
It's actually the other way around but okay m8.

Also, please buy my book.

>>11414932
No, I agree we don't know. What I'm saying is that a hypothetical illusory would necessarily take precedence over some "objective reality".

>>11414925
That doesn't actually mean much. I'm sure your anecdotal experiences are infinite in their applicability.

Nick Land here. I most certainly don't shill. I have an excellent essay about it Fanged Noumena. You can buy it on the internet.

>we don't understand so let me give an explanation full of conjecture based on my own incomplete knowledge
