Lauren asked.... do you think that humans can "learn" free will?
I feel as humans, we want to know all; we want to know how we work, why we work, why things are the way they are, how things came to be, and so much more.
But I don't think that humans can learn free will. Then again, I don't think that "free will" even really exists.
I think people like the idea of a free will to make them feel like we don't live in such a controlled/fixed world thanks to determinism.
As to answering if we can learn free will... I don't think so. Though humans want to learn as much as they can, I don' think it is possible to learn something that probably doesn't even exist.
We can learn about it, but physically learn it, conquer determinism, and escape our fate then control everything around us with our own decisions that have no thoughts, seems impossible.
Why do you think that humans so strongly want to believe that there is a such thing as free will?
