“Revolution in Thought: A new look at determinism and free will"

[peacegirl]

There is no experiment that can experimentally demonstrate determinism or free will when it comes to making a choice. That makes determinism philosophical speculation not objective fact.

Yes there is.

And that experiment is?

Having a group of people who would create a small community using these principles. There would have to be no government or authority, along with the advance knowledge that there would be no blame or punishment no matter what they do, and there would be no telling anyone what to do because this gives the advance justification to do that very thing. Everyone would also use their standard of living as a basis for their starting salary, so that they would not lose one penny of their purchasing power. This would not be easy to set up, but it could be done. Truly though, there would be no reason to go through this when applying these principles worldwide could prevent war and crime and all of the deaths that go along with it. The skeptics can continue being skeptical, but when this knowledge is rigorously studied as it was meant to, it will be seen that this world is not only possible but inevitable. Why? Because we cannot move in a direction counter to our very nature which is to find ways to improve our world, not destroy it. There is no way we could find greater satisfaction living in an environment where nuclear devastation is just a click away by some tyrant --- where there would be no return to life as we know it --- especially when we now have the ability to prevent it. How long it will take depends on how quickly this knowledge can be confirmed valid and sound...and it will be in time.
