Stanford Scientist Says Man "Has No Free Will" ...

I couldn't read the article (paywall), but I've seen his stuff on Youtube in the past and I can't imagine it's changed much. I agree with him to a point. But I believe our environmental upbringing provides us with a range of responses to any given situation from which we can choose one (or more) to utilize in the moment when needed.

"...it is a mistake to equate science with reductionism. Science does not force us to think of humans as nothing more than heaps of interacting particles. To the contrary, in the sciences of human behavior—from anthropology and psychology to economics and sociology—it is standard practice to think of people as intentional agents with a capacity for making choices and responding intelligently to their environments."

That is pretty good through a computer screen. Seriously Lavonne is not doing to good health wise. Most of the day to day things I do.

I'm sorry she is not doing well.

@THAT Gurl Pretty sure this Stanford imbecile and his opinion should be located in your "How Stupid Are you" thread. Seems to be a pretty good fit to me anyway

“After more than 40 years studying humans and other primates, Sapolsky has reached the conclusion. . .”

He’s implying we are a form of primate. I’m sorry, I’m not a primate nor is there any relation to a primate. We are however created in God’s image. “Professors” like this guy are all talk and no brains.

Looks like they just support the Palestinian people stuck in the middle of the conflict. But never let a good shitpost go to waste.

Ya know ... I think you might be right?? Maybe we need a stickied "Stupid Thread" to go along with RickN's "Beautiful People" thread.

Sort of, but Gaza did elect Hamas right? So I assume a majority?

And the US elected Obama, and Bush, and Biden, and Trump.... does that mean we're all Democrats now? Does it count if you were coerced into voting for someone because you or your family were threatened?
