  • A comment on Conversation: There is no such thing as free will.

    Apr 10 2011: I think that free will exists. but it is influenced by other free wills. we should not look at it separated from surroundings and influences. if you drive a car your will would be driving the car , but the properties and quality of that drive is determined and influenced by many other factors. we should not think black or white . there is a gray-scale.
    the other solution is that we look at the consequence of a Will . we could consider a free will is something that should result to our benefit. because no one wills against himself. the influencing will of others could be against us or could have a mutual benefit. so others might be willing to change our will for their own benefit. if they are so kind they might consider a mutual benefit. :) . so i think ( I do not know) that we should talk about free will in relation with other free wills and influences.

    we could will to do something but unless we have the condition needed we can not do it. or the condition might be there but we do not will to do it. or someone might change your free will to match her free will.
    so more than talking about free will i am interested in what makes a Will satisfactory and beneficial to have. our perception is part of it . who could affect your perception can affect your free will.

  • A reply on Conversation: What do you want from the news?

    Apr 10 2011: I agree with you.
    but news is good even bad, negative, and distracting ones provided that they are accompanied with useful tips and solutions. otherwise just knowing what happened does not make any difference except making people upset. the point is that what should be done and not what is happening . If you tell people there is fire in the building they just get anxious, upset and do not know what to do. you have to show the exit door and safe ways of overcoming the problems as well.
    otherwise, in a long run, it would make people ignorant and they would not even empathize any more.
