Nov 1 at 5:04 comment added Dcleve @Syed -- Thinking Fast and Slow spells out how our unconscious system one does its thinking. That our unconscious neurology gives us inclinations, character traits, and justificatory narrative story lines, dos not me any of these "come out of a vacuum". There are causes in our neurology. We are often unaware of their source because the source is unconscious, but there are reasons ... Likewise, our system 2 is capable of overruling system 1. AND of changing system 1's character, inclinations, and intuitions. We can deliberately modify these unconscious dispositions.
Oct 31 at 9:00 comment added Syed Do we though? If you meditate enough you’ll realize that thoughts come out of a vacuum and we are merely observers of those thoughts
Oct 31 at 4:08 comment added Dcleve @Syed The argument is straightforward. There are infinite logics. We experience free will, it is part of all or our lives. We empirically find the logic that fits particular aspects of our universe, and the logic that fits its causation is the three modes of agent causation logic. Hence, Agent Causation Logic is what applies to our world. This is just empiricism.
Oct 31 at 2:53 comment added Syed Interesting, will have to read through the articles. Simply stating there’s a third option called agent causation doesn’t seem to do much though
