For some reason, I can't get into the moon stuff.

Just tell yourself it is a simulation, and then just enjoy the ride! ;-)

The multiverse theory makes our lives meaningless and nullifies morality, making anything acceptable

Regarding what I teach my children.

So, you basically teach them to act as if they have free will, even if they don't?

Also evidence of a lack of free will.

I'm just glad you had the freedom, and the will, to make it.

Why do you assume bad behavior without free will?

If the human psyche is just bio-psychological-programming how can anything we do or think be free?

Great question. If our thoughts are physically causal, then there cannot be any free will.

Technicly, I didn't assume. I hypothesized a test, and asked if you thought it was a workable test.

I think you nailed it with "altruism is its own reward".

Good discussion. Question re one of your points: "we have a choice how to feel about people/events"
-
NedoftheHill
- 8:26pm 7/21/19
That's an excellent question that is difficult to answer.

Give Sam's book a read, it's only about 100 pages.

I don't think we need to bring a god into this. I wasn't trying to imply an author of the book.

Regarding your thought experiment...

Are your thoughts and emotions not also reflexes to stimuli?
-
iairishcheeks
- 6:36pm 7/22/19
Yes and no. They are also subject to choice.

To bring things full circle, right back to the ending of Chasing the Moon, I give you M83 - Outro.

I think you over simplify. Fight or flight decisions fall into a continuum.
