Why should I care?
I've made it clear that I don't like arguing whether everything is determined or if we have free will, but there has to have been a reason for looking into this if Professor Johnson decided to share this information with us. I want to look further into his reasoning and maybe find peace with the topic.
"The unexamined life is not worth living" is a quote that has been emphasized in this class. Not to say that the professor is shoving this down our throats and telling us to agree with the quote, but he has brought it into the conversation several times. It's a valid statement because it's important to know what you believe in and why you believe in it.
"It's important to know what you believe in and why you believe in it." Here we have it - the reason why I should care. I believe in acknowledging free will and determinism as possibilities, but not worrying about which one is fact. This is because either way, it shouldn't effect how my life is lived. It's important for me to know this - maybe I wasn't as aware of it before this week, and this discussion gave me the opportunity to discover this piece of information that was hiding in my mind.
Thank you, Professor!
