Do people have free will in how they respond to criticism or a bit of raillery? Or are they programmed into predictable responses? A fellow I know compulsively sorts everyone online into either believers in a 'creator God,' or hopelessly nihilistic atheists. This same fellow has a seeming inability...

None of it had anything to do with the question I asked. Morley, as much as I hate to burst your bubble, you’re not the center of my attention in my responses. I often don’t give as much consideration to focusing wholly on your questions as I do in expressing my own opinions and insights in regards...

You aren't the only person that shares responses from A.I. to assist in conversation. But this is the first time I've personally seen someone get upset about it. Meh. No one is upset. When others have used A.I. here, it's been to laugh at and call attention to the goofiness of the whole thing. But ...

Thanks, MG. If we want questions answered by A.I., we can ask them ourselves.

As a lead in I referred to Victor Frankl earlier. No one here responded in regards to his expertise in psychiatry and his horrific experiences in the concentration camps. Drumdude did. I will too. I’ve read and like Viktor Frankl. I’ve also read and like Bruno Bettelheim, who wrote about the same t...

MG, I think you've hit upon an interesting point. A constrained free will is vastly different than a wholly free will. What percentage of free will do you put the average human being as having, in our day-to-day behaviors? Personally, my estimation for the average that each of us exercises would be...
