As a bleeding-heart liberal, I preferred the brief period in the early-1970s, when the US abolished capital punishment and tried to understand the social determinants of anti-social behavior as a way to reduce crime rather than relying on the heavy hand of retribution.

earthlingFree Will: A Very Short Introduction by Thomas Pink, 2004Every day we seem to make and act upon all kinds of free choices - some of them trivial, and some so consequential that they may change the course of our life, or even the course of history. But are these choices really free? Or are we compelled to act the way we do by factors beyond our control? Is the feeling that we could have made different decisions just an illusion? <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nonfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nonfiction</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#philosophy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FreeWill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeWill</a>

notBread 🏴‍☠️Capitalism cannot function without the concept of freewill. Those behind the wheel must make everyone else believe that their subjugation is a choice. Capitalists often claim that the rest of us have an option as to which capitalist to work for or which product to consume. (Trading the wages given by one capitalist for the goods produced by another is the action that undergirds the system) However, they always ignore every choice that is made by someone else that affects us. All the while, putting the responsibility of choices on those that have the least power to change them (e.g. climate change, being poor, no accessiblity options).

earthlingHow Physics Makes Us Free by J. T. Ismael, 2012The problem of free will raises all kinds of questions. What does it mean to make a decision, and what does it mean to say that our actions are determined? What are laws of nature? What are causes? What sorts of things are we, when viewed through the lenses of physics, and how do we fit into the natural order? Ismael provides a deeply informed account of what physics tells us about ourselves.<a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#physics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#philosophy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FreeWill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeWill</a>

notBread 🏴‍☠️Free will is a fiction helpful to capitalism. In that it ignores all the possible choices made for us by others and attributes all choices after that as our own. Our choices are limited by who we were born to, where we were born, how much money our parents have, what languages we speak, the availability of education, the local religion, our family's place in society's hierarchy, our assigned gender, our peers, if a foreign government decides to intervene, whether we have enough food or not, are but just a few non-choices in our lives that determine our future behaviour or beliefs.The vast majority of people neither have free will under a hierarchical system devoted to capital, nor can they have success as society defines it. Their choices are constrained to make the lives of the rich more comfortable. Which is why capitalism cannot fix poverty, because it views the poor as having an ability to "choose" to not be poor. In essence, capitalism can never change something that it needs to survive. In the same way it cannot fix wealth inequality, homelessness, racial inequalities, or any of the other problems that it leaves to fester.Capitalism benefits from the illusion of free will. It tries to convince us that we have a choice to be successful or not, but to do that we must disregard everything about our current living conditions and all the barriers put up to keep money in the hands of the already wealthy.[ <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/freewill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freewill</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/determinism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#determinism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antiCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#antiCapitalism</a> ]
