I don’t wear tinfoil hats. What about not believing in free will means I’d wear a tinfoil hat?
yamapikariya@lemmyfi.com 11 months ago
Why not? I’m actually curious now.

Wait… Why not wear tinfoil hats or why not believe in free will?

Is someone force-feeding you?

I was only commenting on the concept of free will. Doesn’t matter where you apply it, we’re all just following our programming.
Obviously, the program is incredibly complex, otherwise the illusion of free will wouldn’t be so easy to believe.
However, there are many examples where the programming becomes apparent.
The best example of this is a radio lab episode about a woman with transient global amnesia. Her memory reset every 90 seconds, and she kept repeating the same conversation over and over for hours. Like a program stuck in a loop.

She couldn’t choose to say something else. Given the same input, she would repeat the same response every time. She didn’t have the ability to realize she had already said it, so she just kept looping.

Yeah, but this post is about fat people and not transdimentional whatever the fuck you’re talking about

Is that really the only scenario you can think of that limits your food choices?
MYCOOLNEJM@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
It’s
“Hmmm this food that I have right now has a lot of calories, maybe I should change it or eat less of it”
VS
“ayyy lmao, it’s the big food industry leaving me no choice, imma destroy this fucking burger”

Even if you only have access to garbage food you can still limit your caloric intake. I eat fast food every day I work and I’m a healthy weight. It’s not difficult at all.
