Free Won't

Is the mind the same as the body? What is consciousness? Can machines have it?

Free Won't

Post by Advocate »

Free Won't is a useful concept in two senses;
a) exemplifies the constant metaphorical regression necessary to accommodate increasing certainty of ultimate causality
b) less wrong metaphor for communicating about our experience than free will

There is something very real about the constant tension between the imperatives of the subconscious v conscious mind-space and perhaps this is the metaphor we need to get a handle on it.
