Take it as a sign... and thanks for the replies and for the reblogged. Cheers!

Completely agree. I think part of the problem is that we tend to have a very narrow vision of what progress means, as if it were only possible in one direction, to see the world in a linear and one-dimensional

Yes, but we decide what motive to attend, because there is a motive to eat, and another for not eating. We decide what goal to aim for. We decide which desire to pay attention to. And we decide what past

In my opinion, my thoughts are simply a recreation of our bodily senses with the mind (mainly vision and hearing), thinking is, basically, speaking with the mind, or perceiving mental images. I don't know

Agree. Memories exist for a reason, it's good to have it. Although it is not good to act as if we are determined to be who we are because of the past, that is what I mean. If you don't like your name you

Interesting perspective. I know that if you ask yourself a question for a long time, you will begin to get the answers. From within yourself answers will begin to arrive. Anamnesis calls them Plato, or

And how would you explain the people who go on hunger strike, for example? There is always an act of decision.

I don't think so, it is simply a mental recreation of something that happened, but it is not a piece of the past, far from it. Our mind creates an image of the present at some point, and then that image

Maybe there is a difference between desires and will, I don't know. But the only thing that determines what I want is myself, because I believe that in some way that wanting is the best for me, so maybe

The decisions are based on my perception of the present. However, it is not about having no memories, it is about not anchoring to them, living in the present without falling into the illusion that the

So is, I agree. I imagine the table. And it must have a special value like all things you create yourself, I guess. I like taking my time, the problem arises when I am working with other people or when

There is an old Mexican saying that goes "quien no conoce a Dios a cualquier santo le reza", that translated is who does not know God prays to any saint. Whether it's true or not, truth is that

Yeah, right, I really like the relaxed attitude, I think it is necessary to do things well... take your time and be patient in what you do... unfortunately people often mistake it for laziness. That's

Maybe, but in any case, there are motives to do all kinds of things, but I decide what to do, and the reason for that decision is precisely that I want it that way, that is, my will (want = will). I drink

I don't think so, present conditions are present causes or present effects that have no contact with the past, since the past does not exist. The only thing from the past that affects the present are those

The only real cause there, if it is an inevitable chain of events, would be hunger then. Because everything else is a direct consequence of hunger. Anyway, I think the real cause would be the decision

My mistake.

Exactly. All those things affect us, and influence us, but lately we make the decision ourselves, whatever we are. Saying that your brain makes the decisions for you is often contradictory because the

(IFF) all events are CAUSED (THEN) determinism makes your decisions (not "you") No, free will means that our decisions are in fact caused, but by us. We are causal agents, we are the cause of

Is your action part of a long, unbroken chain of cause-and-effect that stretches back to the moment of your birth? It is possible that this is a fallacy, because the same logic cannot be applied to the
