I think we have free will, but most people here have had some kind of very bad luck, to say the least.

I agree. hard determinism is the way to go.

the only freedom that we have is to beat ourselves up enough to be prepared to face the inevitable.

I don't believe we have free will, defining free will as: the ability to have chosen otherwise if time is rewound. I believe we are 100% determined by the interplay of genes and environment.

I used to passionately want to believe in free will. Now I am too tired and apathetic to care. Whatever the answer, it doesn't change my situation. I think even if I believed there was no free will it wouldn't stop me from feeling guilty and self critical.

I am about to use my free will and go for a cup off tea and cigarettes outside, whilst I wait for the warm glow of sleeping tablets to envelope me (no not 100s just 1 to sleep)

My brain is doing very weird associations lately. I think it's probably a result of my depression, but it could also be the brain fog… well, it doesn't matter which.

Right now I'm thinking of that time when I was on a flight to Berlin and I was browsing one of those in-flight catalogues, considering whether I should pay an obscene amount of money for a FreyWille ring. It was their Klimt collection, hence the irresistable appeal.

Wow… how the years have passed! I was such a different person then. I owned things. I bought things. I wanted things. Now I only spend money on groceries and utility bills. You could offer me a box full of FreyWille jewellery and I wouldn't even open it, let alone take it.

I have no free will. I am a slave to my disease. My feble body and distorted mind have no say in anything. My illness commands all my actions, all my moods, all my thoughts and all my desires. I just go along with it, until Death knocks on my door.

Which is a shame but your mind comes across as free willed and articulate. I enjoy reading your posts
