The discussion of free will is really mostly for monotheists. I believe we have a mind and that our mind is the agent of our actions. The vast majority of people have a choice in whether they commit suicide or not. Just because we have a choice doesnt mean that it is a good choice.
I see your point but it's not that simple.
A mind is the product of genetics and childhood impressions, mostly, plus some more.
We're by definition fully programmed and then we must adapt. We have no choice to what. All of our definitions are simplifications.
But, yeah...
We might agree that Free Will,
the way we defined it, is a societal construct we agree to agree upon for practical and legal purposes.
It's cool to be dead, there's voices out here who call for "suicide against Climate Change" - that's extreme, but young people are rarely geniuses.
The personal thingies in this story I do not care to discuss, as I won't be able to get much reliable information about them.
The "death cult" argument is exaggerated but not invalid - it's not that this website resembles one, but rather that our society is in a downward spiral, and social animals like us need impetus and a reason to live inside and for a society, a culture...
The reason why some people have the impression that life is "not worth living," which seems to be a logical nonsense in our time of opulence, are manifold and complex, and in my opinion, mostly peer-group societal level, as in "no future."
To blame the mother is ridiculous - was she better off than the daughter ? Unlikely, pretty much the same genes - no need to attack her, she is distressed.
Her life is in ruins, guys probably fail to understand that... we're social animals, and we live in interesting times.
I would go into a long-winded Darwinian construe now but I have a splitting aural migraine and I can hardly see my keyboard,
Sorry about that.
I just wanted to clear these things up, they are being confused on a regular basis.
And would y'all please google "Mouse Utopia."
