A Conversation for The Free Will/Determinism Controversy

Wonko Started conversation Apr 26, 2001
Just as there a no straight lines in nature, there is no thing as determinism. It is an abstract concept of man. Think of billard as an example: after 7 bonces the direction is not deterministic because of the influence of the universe. The same goes for our brain, which operates on the principles of chaos theory. Depending on the precision of your brain you got two choices left: to be an robot or chaotic.
I'd like to think of persons as individuals: that's what makes me unique. And, hopefully, dependable for others.
