I tend to think about idea of multiverse as it is said on stupid documentaries, where every time you make a decision or some quantum mambo jambo universe splits. This, for me, invalidates free will because given choice to go right or left I don't make a choice, simply there are two versions of me, one for each outcome. However, these realities being potential realities and moving to the next one (via your free will or otherwise) is perfectly fine.
In the theory where the universe splits, you not making a decision is still a decision, and the result is still a singular branch splitting off. The issue is simply misunderstanding what's happening. Free will is always present, and this is a very important part of how our universe operates.
There are circumstances in which free will is limited, but there is always free will as to how we respond to whatever circumstances we find ourselves in.
Every action you take is a choice at some level, even if that choice is not to act. You cannot escape free will, because without free will, the whole point of the universe collapses.
Thanks Shannon, I need to educate myself more on the topic. The problem with topics like that is if you are not using razor sharp definitions its easy to get false impressions or make some assumptions. At any rate food for thought for sure.
Day 45 (1)
I've done my dues. There is still some work to be done, but these are small pies compared to my last 4 days. I can confidently say that I am prepared for the conference and all I need to do is pack my bags and wake up early hours to catch my train.
Obviously, the stress is still there as I'm on the "stress high" now as I call it. You know, the feeling of unease after large stress that needs to vanish slowly over time. I hate it because it's useless (as if prolonged stress was useful...) but what you gonna do?
I was thinking a little bit about "what I truly want" question and damn, that's a hard question to answer. Whatever I ask myself it I get something like "I want this, but..." or "I need that, however...". Those buts and howevers are the problem - they sabotage when you want something and obscure your true desires either lying underneath your wants and causing the buts.
I will investigate further, I'm having great fun trying to understunt myself and digging through all this stuff.
For not by numbers of men, nor by measure of body, but by valor of soul is war to be decided.
