As a prelude to my new Mind Expansion megathread (the first one is here: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=843191[/url]) I'm posting this to get us all warmed up.
Some of you have probably already seen this, and understand it, and I commend you for it

That video effect is annoying, it isn't a dumb comment, it is annoying. And i don't believe that we have no free will because of sub atomic constraints, i agree we are simply atoms, we are made with exactly the same principles as the stars themselves but we do choose. I could chosen not to have edited this post, and i doubt the universe would have imploded because of it.
And I'm not a fan of philosophy, there are no definites, there are no answers, all it does is create questions which no one can/ever will possibly answer.
Its like A scanner darkly all over again
Ofcourse the first three comments are dumb ones. It's like the universal law of facepunch, in decreasing amounts of dumb starting from the first.
Waking life was the first movie to do the roto-scope thing, Scanner Darkly took after it.
Awesome video. enough said

Not exactly true, look at the prince in Snow White, he was rotoscoped. Don't believe me? look up the book "The Illusion of Life"

No, I mean, 'artfully' rotoscoped.
Where they rotoscope live video for the art of it, not the realism.
But seriously tho, that animation is fucking [B]shit.[/B] It's annoying as hell with his face fucking jumping all over the place and the fucking walls going right and left. And what the fuck is he even trying to get out to us? He's just speaking nonsense shit that we don't have free will, because for example if I want to grab my dick it's controlled by my brain. WHAT THE FUCK!

Facepunch's Brainless Lump Award of the Year goes to this man.
fuk u
I'm sick of learning about/having discussions about this. It was nice/engaging/interesting the first three times in Metaphysics, now I'm just tired of it
That's pretty stupid actually. I don't see how he can relate physics directly with free will, that's total bullshit.

Finally someone who agrees
Neat.

Well he might not have spoken out in a fancy way, but he has valid arguments. To some extent I even agree with him.
I didn't enjoy the animation either, too wobbly, and it hardly added anything to the video.
As for the philosophy behind it, I agree that it's pointless in the way all philosophy is 'pointless' because it hardly ever leads to a conclusion we can apply to science or to our daily lives. Philosophy is more comparable with creating art or exercising than it is with participating in a think-tank.
True, free will is kind of a tired concept. But you shouldn't disrespect the man by saying it's 'annoying as dum shit i dont understand'
I mean, sure, it is a valid argument, but does it really have anything to contribute to our lives?
Pre-Determined or not, people still respect you for who you are.
I mean look at our current celebrities, you see people calling them out on their actions, not "your entire life was based on sub-atomic interactions, you are a giant phony, GET HIM(or Her)!!1"
So the debate of this does no one any good except people who have nothing else to do.
Waking Life or something, right? I enjoyed that movie.
Even if there's no such thing as free will, it's not like we're drifting helplessly through life. You could say that all of our actions are just predetermined reactions to the world around us, but your brain is there to interpret the world around you and respond in a way that is most beneficial to you (or at least it thinks so).
In addition to knowing that, if free will is an illusion it's a very good one, so this issue doesn't really bother me.

Yea it's just good to know how things work, I don't see what everyone's getting all pissy about.

Also, my post was shopped. It's not real. I staged it.
