Saturday afternoon. You are waiting for Carol at Kroger's on
Mason-Montgomery Road. An hour ago the temperature was sixty-five, now it's
down to sixty-one and will continue dropping. The winds are picking up. There
will be gusts into the high forties. The lot is packed with cars, fortunately
you found an open handicap spot right by the north door. You don't have
anything on your mind that you can see but are suddenly wondering how thought
(waves) relate to free will in that if one has a thought unconsciously, how
does one prepare consciously to react to it? - Amorella
1418 hours. The Quora commentary
yesterday focused on a theoretical 'tachyon murder' and how if the bullet was
going faster than light then the murderer would have no choice but to pull the
trigger, i.e. if the bullet had left the barrel the person would not have free
will to change his mind. If the person still has a choice to pull the trigger
or not there would be a contradiction as to outcome. What about a thought
rather than a bullet. Moving a thought from unconscious thought to conscious is
not a matter of free will, so the free will exists only when the person is
conscious of it. For instance, you are driving along and there is no sign of
danger. Suddenly you have a slight urge to stop for no apparent reason. As
there is no apparent observable reason you move on only to find are broadsided
out of nowhere. Whether you survive or not is not the point, the point is you
had no reasonable choice but to drive on. So, you intuitively had free will but
as it was not fully understood consciously. Now, if your intuition was strong
enough and you slowed down it might have affected the outcome, perhaps you
might not have been hurt so bad, or you might have just survived, this may or
may not have been a better personal outcome. The best outcome would be that the
car or truck roared through just before arrived at the scene. You then survived
a close call. These sort of events happen all the time. We know this because
people talk about them. Then, if it was a bad outcome was it an innocent enough accident
on the victim's part or was it fate?
You struggled a bit to get your concept out without my help. You don't
feel it is well written though as it was done entirely from free will. What
about when I intervene through your unconsciousness? Where's the free will it
what is written not in the concept behind it? - Amorella
1444 hours. That's easy to answer, I have
always given you the right (free will) to take over if it is to make my
concepts better understood through writing. - rho
Once home and after a bit of relaxation, you drove to Papa John's to
pick up your usual pizza which was excellent as always. You finished the season
of "Blacklist" (which ended in a surprise) and you both decided not
to continue "Blind Spot" after viewing the first three episodes of
this season. - Amorella
1840 hours. It lost its original direction,
trying to rebuild with basically the two major characters now in a love
interest is not enough. It is not the actors though, it is the plot -- too
diverse. Even "Designated Survivor" is not as good as the first
season. We still watch "Blacklist" straight through but "Blind
Spot" has had too many spots where you could glance down at the paper or
some other distraction along the way. "The Good Doctor" is still the
best of the season. We still like "Madam Secretary", "Blue
Bloods", and "NCIS". "NCIS.LA" is a little iffy this
year. We don't like the new characters so much. I'm putting this down in case I
forget what was on. Maybe we have been watching too many shows, plus we are
getting older and more discrimination when it comes to media entertainment.
Lord knows it's impossible to stay original in terms of my own creative energy
let alone spending time criticizing others for their
efforts.
