Résumé

TLDRIn this video, the speaker explores the concept of free will, suggesting that our decisions are significantly influenced by external circumstances and subconscious factors rather than being purely autonomous choices. Using a hypothetical scenario of existing in an empty space without gravity or needs, the speaker argues that without external inputs, one would lack meaningful decision-making. The importance of cravings, desires, and societal influences on our actions is highlighted. The video questions the reality of free will by illustrating how our unconscious minds and past experiences shape our decisions, especially regarding instincts and attractions.

    The speaker discusses their perspective on free will, explaining that decisions are influenced by external and internal factors rather than being entirely autonomous. They propose a thought experiment involving an empty space without external stimuli, which questions the nature of decision-making without any influences. The speaker then relates this idea to real-world scenarios, emphasizing that desires and attractions are shaped by unconscious influences, particularly in regard to social interactions and mate selection. They illustrate how our consciousness only processes decisions influenced by deeper urges and biases rooted in the unconscious.

  • 00:00:00
    hey guys today i want to talk about free
  • 00:00:03
    will and how i look at it if you think
  • 00:00:06
    about free will you probably think about
  • 00:00:08
    having the decision of your next actions
  • 00:00:11
    in your own hands it's your decision if
  • 00:00:13
    you drink from the glass of water in
  • 00:00:16
    front of you right now or in 5 minutes
  • 00:00:19
    right well
  • 00:00:21
    i disagree how you make your decisions
  • 00:00:23
    first of all is depending on what is
  • 00:00:25
    happening around you what are the
  • 00:00:27
    options how do you act or react to
  • 00:00:31
    something because of that i want you to
  • 00:00:33
    imagine yourself in an empty space where
  • 00:00:36
    not even gravity exists where you have
  • 00:00:39
    no vital needs like eating drinking or
  • 00:00:43
    pooping you don't really see anything
  • 00:00:45
    because it's an empty room without light
  • 00:00:47
    without walls or objects or edges or
  • 00:00:50
    whatever what decisions would you
  • 00:00:52
    possibly make if there is like no outer
  • 00:00:55
    source of influence or even no inner
  • 00:00:58
    source of influence which can give you
  • 00:01:01
    meaning even though you're smart if
  • 00:01:03
    there is no input what would happen i
  • 00:01:06
    don't know probably not much you just
  • 00:01:09
    exist if you add the need of hunger and
  • 00:01:12
    thirstiness you will start to seek out
  • 00:01:14
    the way to solve that problem so you
  • 00:01:16
    would need to find an outer source to
  • 00:01:18
    fill that inner need when you find an
  • 00:01:21
    outer source you have something to
  • 00:01:23
    interact with you can find out how it
  • 00:01:25
    functions or whatever may be possible so
  • 00:01:28
    other desires of curiosity may occur of
  • 00:01:32
    course you decide if you drink or not
  • 00:01:34
    but because it's a basic need you
  • 00:01:36
    probably do it anyway so the question
  • 00:01:38
    arises if it's truly a decision you make
  • 00:01:41
    of course you can simply not do it but
  • 00:01:44
    what sense would it make if it ends your
  • 00:01:46
    life so the pressure is kinda high
  • 00:01:48
    anyways let's go to the real world
  • 00:01:51
    scenario and why i think free will
  • 00:01:53
    doesn't exist let's say you see gorgeous
  • 00:01:56
    becky over there across the street you
  • 00:01:59
    decide you want to speak to her but why
  • 00:02:01
    do you even have that urge well of
  • 00:02:04
    course she's hot and i'm interested so
  • 00:02:06
    that's my decision but why do you think
  • 00:02:08
    she's hot why do you have that feeling
  • 00:02:11
    well as you can see on my really well
  • 00:02:14
    self-drawn art of the very exact
  • 00:02:16
    distribution of our conscious
  • 00:02:18
    subconscious and
  • 00:02:20
    unconscious mind in the shape of an
  • 00:02:22
    iceberg and how deep it is submerged
  • 00:02:24
    into the water and well some other
  • 00:02:27
    things what i want to say with it is
  • 00:02:29
    what decisions we think we make inside
  • 00:02:32
    of our consciousness and what we are
  • 00:02:34
    aware of have nothing to do with free
  • 00:02:36
    will because we simply don't see what
  • 00:02:38
    information we get from our
  • 00:02:40
    subconsciousness and unconsciousness
  • 00:02:42
    which leads to the decision we make in
  • 00:02:44
    our consciousness in our unconsciousness
  • 00:02:47
    there lie the most basic needs and
  • 00:02:50
    desires or urges we have which is also
  • 00:02:53
    finding a suitable partner and
  • 00:02:54
    especially as a male having as many kids
  • 00:02:57
    as possible for that we need to talk to
  • 00:03:00
    women as many as possible and of course
  • 00:03:03
    we want women with good genetics so the
  • 00:03:05
    signs of good genetics of women is a
  • 00:03:07
    healthy figure which means she's slim
  • 00:03:11
    fit and or at least normal looking nice
  • 00:03:14
    boobs great skin which are signs of
  • 00:03:16
    fertility and good potential for healthy
  • 00:03:19
    kids and of course some other signs what
  • 00:03:22
    we feel in our consciousness is just
  • 00:03:25
    that we think boobs are hot because of
  • 00:03:28
    reasons we don't really care about or
  • 00:03:30
    don't even have to think about the urge
  • 00:03:32
    is just there for some it's boobs for
  • 00:03:35
    others it's asses but the whole package
  • 00:03:37
    is most important and for men an average
  • 00:03:40
    woman is good enough to at least have
  • 00:03:43
    sex our unconsciousness has certain
  • 00:03:45
    needs urges and desires which are
  • 00:03:48
    getting wrapped as a gift and handed to
  • 00:03:50
    the consciousness so we can easily
  • 00:03:52
    understand it we only make decisions
  • 00:03:54
    based on decisions which are already
  • 00:03:57
    made or highly influenced by our
  • 00:04:00
    unconsciousness and our surroundings so
  • 00:04:02
    it seems that it's not really free will
  • 00:04:05
    because free will for me at least means
  • 00:04:07
    that you make decisions consciously
  • 00:04:09
    without unconscious bias but humans have
  • 00:04:13
    always in any situation some sort of
  • 00:04:15
    unconscious bias towards something if it
  • 00:04:18
    would be conscious bias it would be okay
  • 00:04:20
    because you have certain experiences in
  • 00:04:22
    your life which change your decision
  • 00:04:24
    making even in your consciousness but we
  • 00:04:27
    also have unconscious biases which
  • 00:04:29
    influence us in everything we do or say
  • 00:04:32
    if you have a glass of wine in front of
  • 00:04:34
    you and you decide if you drink it now
  • 00:04:36
    or in 5 minutes it doesn't actually
  • 00:04:38
    matter how you decide if you drink it
  • 00:04:40
    now or at any point in the future that
  • 00:04:43
    decision will be already influenced by
  • 00:04:45
    me watching you by the weather outside
  • 00:04:47
    or whatever unconscious experiences you
  • 00:04:50
    have made in the past or right now
  • 00:04:52
    anyways guys i hope you got my points
  • 00:04:55
