at the end of the day we all come up with concepts and quotes that already exist because unfortunately we're not special, we just have a rare thinking style compared to the average person

What shapes free will
free will doesn't really exist in my opinion, because you do not really like something because you genuinely like it, but rather because your brain chemistry was leaning towards that option on it's own

yeah that is my point, what people call '‘free will’' is just the brain’s predetermined tendencies playing out, The concept exists, but the underlying freedom doesn’t.

That’s mechanism. Free will is the ability of an agent to make choices that are genuinely their own, not fully determined by external circumstances or internal necessity, such that alternative actions remain possible. A person who has a conscious possesses free will btw

Isn't ism a suffix since you add it to the end of the word? And it doesn't stand for anything, not an acronym just a suffix for and doctrines or systems

That definition assumes the persons choices are genuinely their own. My point is that the feeling of '‘genuine’' choice doesn’t prove the choice wasn’t determined by internal necessity. If your preferences, tendencies, and decision-making patterns all come from brain structure, chemistry, and prior causes, then the alternatives never actually stood a real chance. Consciousness doesn’t grant freedom, it just gives us awareness of decisions that were already shaped by internal conditions.

Ah well what helped me when I was learning as a kid is "pre" means prior as in before so it just logically made more sense to be before the word and through an educated guess suffix will be at the end :feelsokman:

So your brain isn't you, so who's you
The brain is me, but that doesn’t mean the '‘me’' is free. My identity is still built from biology and conditions I didn’t control, so the chooser exists but the choices aren’t self-created

The individual which is further shaped by culture and behaviour which is based on luck and spawnpoint
So the individual doesn't exist only a collective or group

You contradicted yourself, based on your opinion a chooser doesn't exist. Your body is a machine. "Chooser" means an entity with free will that's cappable of doing things with the beings around him, it's a subject not an object. You just decided to reply, you could have dediced not to. Denying free will is you trying to avoid responsability, inmoral.

And behaviour, which is again influenced by culture and upbringing so technically yes, noone is their own person

You sure you didn't reply to the wrong thing? I was explaining how I learnt to differentiate suffixes from prefixes I'm seeing no correlation

While it’s true that our brain, tendencies, and prior causes shape choices, I’m arguing that (Dennett agrees with) freedom is about acting according to one’s deliberation and desires, not the absence of causal influence. Conscious awareness and the ability to reason, reflect, and act on values constitute a meaningful form of free will, even if the choices are influenced by prior conditions. So determinism does not logically negate genuine freedom

I’m not contradicting myself, I’m saying the '‘chooser’' is the brain. When I say choices aren’t free, I’m not saying choices don’t happen, i’m saying they’re the output of a physical system aka your brain, with certain wiring, chemistry, and tendencies

A machine can still act, respond, and interact with the world. What it can’t do is choose independent of the mechanisms that generate its behavior. So the chooser exists, it’s just not a separate free-floating entity, it’s the brain’s deterministic processes acting as a unified subject

I think behavior is entirely social but every individual has their own style, everyone chooses how to be in certain moments. There are exceptions to the rule, even in environments that tell you how you should behave.

Fair enough but maths is too objective for a concept like relativism, imo it has more real world applications

A brain cannot choose, objects can't choose. Only an individual is able to choose, and this is the subject which is obviously affected by your brain but your personality depends on the experiences you had through your entire life, so when the "brain" chooses the brain is you. A subject is able to retain, replace and add information with his free will and own judgment, there isn't a rule. The machine doesn't interact with the world, a human sets the machine to move with another objects. I can decide wether to think about this answer or just rage. The brain is my weapon, not me.

The truth of math relies in our logical brain.
do you believe that logic exists before humans and that we discovered it or otherwise?
