    Is Human Nature Determined by Our Material Conditions?

    I have already explained.

    Is Human Nature Determined by Our Material Conditions?

    Wow! This is shocking B.S. even for the internet.

    Is Human Nature Determined by Our Material Conditions?

    You would save his team time and the university a lot of money by telling them what you know.

    Is Human Nature Determined by Our Material Conditions?

    I just did. Then there is the Penrose and Hameroff paper. It actually supports free will using quantum mechanics.

    Is Human Nature Determined by Our Material Conditions?

    You are not considering new theoretical models. You are just claiming that they are false by not letting them have a chance.

    Is Human Nature Determined by Our Material Conditions?

    If not neural activity, then what do you think is responsible for decision making? There is SO MUCH good information I can link claiming otherwise. Are you sure you meant what you said?

    Is Human Nature Determined by Our Material Conditions?

    Just because things don't appear one way to you doesn't mean that they aren't that way.

    Is Human Nature Determined by Our Material Conditions?

    A neuron is a cell, so are you saying that the ability to choose does not extend to neural activity. And the theory is that the neurons may be entangled, not just molecules.

    Is Human Nature Determined by Our Material Conditions?

    Mathew Fisher explains this in the link that I keep posting https://www.news.ucsb.edu/2018/018840/are-we-quantum-computers

    Is Human Nature Determined by Our Material Conditions?

    The binding of separated neurons firing that give rise to a holistic conscious control is not understood. An extremely convenient explanation is if these neurons were connected as one through quantum entaglement. It seems to solve one of the binding problems quite nicely.

    Is Human Nature Determined by Our Material Conditions?

    Entire neurons may be being coupled (does not mean only two) according to https://www.news.ucsb.edu/2018/018840/are-we-quantum-computers . That's a pretty high level where consciousness is concerned. It's not just the lower levels that are entangled.

    Is Human Nature Determined by Our Material Conditions?

    If I am anything, I am at least my neurons and its electrochemical activity. That is not my environment.

    Is Human Nature Determined by Our Material Conditions?

    Define "you" and that should answer your question.

    Is Human Nature Determined by Our Material Conditions?

    Is it possible that I have 3 coins in my pocket? I actually have 2, so it was not true even though it was rationally possible. You were not given enough information, but would you ever say that it wasn't possible for me to have 3 coins in my pocket?

    Is Human Nature Determined by Our Material Conditions?

    If there is nobody to explain why the ship can't travel faster than light, then it's possible for those that don't know.

    Is Human Nature Determined by Our Material Conditions?

    And what I have been saying for years and years is that I am only arguing for the possibility for free will. As people come with objections I try to overcome them to only allow the possibility of FW to exist, not to prove that it does.

    Is Human Nature Determined by Our Material Conditions?

    I am not sure what you are getting at. If my consciousness is a bunch of neurons and the firing of these neurons are not fully determined by the environmental causes, then how is this not a human having the ability to have chosen otherwise, in at least some instances?
  18. R

    Is Human Nature Determined by Our Material Conditions?

    It talks about entire neurons being entangled with other neurons.

    Is Human Nature Determined by Our Material Conditions?

    One should expect a choice to be made with free will would not be determined. Given the definition I am using for FW, it would seem to allow the choice to be a different one. Read the "Entangled Neurons" part of https://www.news.ucsb.edu/2018/018840/are-we-quantum-computers

    Is Human Nature Determined by Our Material Conditions?

    You thought you knew things in this area when you didn't. Do you have anything to back your claim up, or do you want me to just trust you.
