determinism!
by seedsofsadism on January 24, 2010so, I'm happy. as per usual.
I'm not sure whether or not its a bad thing, but I'm more towards determinism in contrary to freewill. Mainly because me and oscar have been discussing it lately. I'm yet to listen to Stefs complete series on Free Will, I'll do that tonight.
Havnt updated in a while, but last week one night, we drank a bit too much poison. Way too much... Wont go into it, but you know, it wasnt pleasant. Nonetheless we all learn from out mistakes, deterministically baha.
I'm looking forward to school. It must be something others havnt matured into yet, but I have a real desire to acquire knowledge. I think its because the school no longer shoves it down my throat at the threat of detention, but rather I can choose what to study. Its freedom, and it really does work.
I have a new dream, it's to write a non-fictional book. Titled "How to Think, Not What to Think - A Secular Alternative to Indoctrination."
It's basically about teaching children how to think properly. I'm yet to go into specifics about the book, but I will be conducting intense research at University into brain development and psychology. The idea was sparked in a debate with a christian, who claimed that Atheists indoctrinate their children as much as theists, which was true to a small extent. They tell their children for certain that God doesnt exist. I guess the book teaches parents not to say either god does or doesnt for certain exist, but teach the child to come to their own conclusion, using Aristotelian logic and reasoning. I know it wont sell very well, which is why I want to give the book away for free. Its not about profit, its about contributing to humanity, in the most beneficial way possible - by investing in children's minds.
Peace the Fuck Out!
