All excellent ideas sirs. I would argue that free will is part of the programming. Kind of like the movie Tron. By that I mean perhaps we are just user created programs doing what we think we are supposed to be doing when, in actuality that's the way it is for the users as well. What I mean to say is given that the universe is a system and all things are part of that system even "conscious" choices and their outcomes are the result of some kind of design. In short it is the "everything happens for a reason" mentality just on a higher scale. |
