Do you believe in free will?

[Deleted member 2607]

Another poll thread boys. Now I'm wondering what looksmaxers believe about the concept of free will.

Biochemical reactions/genetics

After minoxidil this is what I believe. I did nothing to deserve this.

we live in a deterministic universe therefore we are deterministic by nature.

There is no free will

Free will does not exist. If you look at a football player, you think to yourself, “he is a footballer because he is big and tall” not “he is big tall because he is a football player.” This is due to the labels we put on things. We label things to people and those people form or have already...

But it doesn't matter, because we cannot comprehend the universe to see beyond the illusion of free will. We get to enjoy free will even though it's not real.

Good read, but looksmaxing is a way to control your destiny, and thus an extension of free wll, right?

We are all here because of a reason. The only thing that matters is now because your past events have led you here. Everything is very straight forward.

So by changing your looks you physically change your fate and destiny?

 

[Deleted member 2607]

a combination of your brain chemistry and life experiences is what brought you here. not "free will".

I'm a philosophical optimist, so I believe that people have enough impulsivity for it to be considered "free will" even if almost all of the decisions you make and the thoughts you have are predetermined by genetics, chemistry, and memory.

Self is an illusion.
No boundaries actually exist between our body and the environment.

yes. that is why, imo, on a philosophic and deep level, people do not want you to change. that’s why it’s discouraged.

example: go from start to finish, think about your life right now (ur current looks) and how ur life would play out if u were stuck with your looks rn.

now imagine your looksmaxed self (your ideal version of yourself): imagine your life from the moment u look like ur idealized self to the end. it probably seems different.

looksmaxing will alter your reality. it will change the way you live your life. it is all predetermined bc if you reach your goal, you will reach your goal. if you don’t reach your goal, you will not reach ur goal. but however you live and look, that is how you are supposed to be treated bc that is where you ended up. if you want to change the way ur treated, your past life events made you come to the conclusion that you want to change. hence, there wasn’t free will bc you came to that conclusion based on past experiences and now you are here.

it is very straightforward and the more i try to explain it, the more confusing it becomes.

Did you really though? I mean I know you did, but the only reason you did that is because the total sum of all the atoms that make up your brain meat have compelled you to. Your life experiences up until this very moment have molded you into the exact person the universe requires to type that post.

Has nothing to do with that but ok

No.

Man I wanna believe in free will so it exists

 

[themotherfucker]

both and neither

 

[Deleted member 5185]

Determenism is based af and honestly Im surprised so many high IQ guys here understand free will is an illusion

 

[Blackout.xl]

On one hand I do believe that a god did make us to rationalize, weigh potential benefits/penalties and ultimately make a decision on things we want to do.

On the other hand the cold hard truth of genetical determinism leads me to believe that what we do in life is based on our genetical ability that is inherited from our ancestors. Aka, some people get a better deal than others.

People who have enough time to post on a boundary pushing social phenomenon site have enough time to have deep philosophical thoughts and ambitions

Chad is too busy fucking stacy and having a healthy social and financial life to care. Chad probably has at least a subconscious understanding of the philosophical implications of free will, but doesnt care enough to verbalize it

 

[GetThatBread]

I honestly DK if free will is real or not because if it was then that means we all have the knowledge and will to better ourselves in which what is happening right now but at the same time it could be all predetermined @PrettyBoyMaxxing

Only morbid thought I can’t really stop thinking about is doing all of this to ascend just for people outside of my social circle to revere me as a god. The thought of sitting on a medical bed waiting for the surgeon to place me into anesthesia just to be top tier is a morbid thought. It sucks that I have to do this in order to get an edge in life whether that be women, work, social events etc. how can I cope with that; I had to get this type of surgery so this female can “love” me etc etc. genetics is everything

Free will is an adaptive coping mechanism to minimize the rate at which incels commit suicide.

Dont do it for love. Do it for power. Knowledge is power. Looks is power.

The caveman who first conceptualized free will was probably beta

it is what it is. we only got one life. the goal for me at least is to be good looking enough to where i benefit from my looks everyday whether that be to benefit from lookism or validation.

 

[Pietrosiek]

people are driven by natural instinct. Things like food, sleep or sex for example. But not only that. Competivness for example is part of man nature. You might say its instinct but not exactly... You might actually fight, which is primal but you can compete in video game, racing cars or playing volleyball.

What about passions of different people? Well many of those pasions are not primal. There are people like socrates who think much more deeply than their primal instint force them too (getting group of other people to be safe, food and sex). So yeah its quite interesting topic.

 

[StoicNihilist]

I'm a determinist, I don't really believe in free will at all.

[Deleted member 4612]

No I do not, even if a God exists he supposedly knows the future so you are fated into doing whatever actions you choose. Religious people try to rationalize this as a "mystery beyond our comprehension", which is just a way of saying "stop using logic against relgious doctrine"
