Modern wokism is all about teaching people to be victims and putting the blame on others, removing all accountability
That's the vision of people who don't know what leftist fight is
Instead of telling people that they have control of their own lives and have the power to better themselves
And this meritocratic/individualistic "I want therefore I can" and "we can better the society by changing ourself first" liberalistic vision is EXACTLY what we are fighting with "wokism".
This vision is the reason why some people are still suffering from the impact of racism, why women are still struggling to have a voice and a place in society, why people are poor and others are absurdly rich etc. etc.
This vision, rather than praising progress, actually promotes the status co, and critics that can prevent any changes in the balances of powers and dominations.
This vision is the reason why you still don't understand why some post here, shouldn't be allowed in the first place.
It’s very funny you mention accountability and self control. I skimmed An article this morning about how scientifically, we don’t have free will and thus cannot be or should not be accountable for everything we do
OMG .. don't go too fast !!
People here are not even aknowledging the inexistence of notions like merits just yet... they are far from ready to accept the inexistence of free will.
Step by step mate... Ex. Its irrelevant to talk about communism to a conservatist, it will just scare them and make them hate you. We must do the same with materialism.
Ngl, it kinda fucked me up this morning thinking about it
I got into a short depression period the day I realized the inexistence of free will. If this forum taught me anything, its that people will be ready when they will be ready. Such information must be given slowly with context and with positivity.
Because if yes, free will is an illusion, it doesn't means that life is. I like to think of conscious life forms as thinking water droplets, we may not have control over our lifes in the macro sence, we are still part of a gigantic flow that will live millions of adventures and we are aware of it.
Most crime is done by the conscious mind since they have to plan a course of action after seeing an opportunity
Its easier for us to think that people are conscious of the crimes they commit. It maintains us in our humanity and in the thinking that "we would never do such things".. but the reality is that we are all capable of those things in certains and similar conditions.
We do not possess a mind that can magically override the reality of the universe. If someone kills the one I love in front of me, the only factors that will play into the choice of taking the life of the murderer or not, will be the result of ALL my experiences and educations of my past self, that won't be me and my will choosing the right choice because its the right choice.
Choices are determinated by our experiences, our memories, our culture, our situation, our physical states etc... but not by the magic of a will.
In the potential existence of such free will, a choice would be an act of creation of a system of thought from within our own will...
Sadly.. for such a free will to exist, we would need to be machines that can override the first thermodynamic law of the universe.
Energy cannot be created from nothing in the universe, therefore free will as we mostly know it, cannot exist.
No, the subconscious mind
Unconscious mind dictates 90% of actions, and conscious mind 10%.
Careful. Such concept as "unconscious" mind is non scientific.
The origin of the term comes from psychanalysis and Freud. Those theories are for the most part not relying on scientific research but dogmatism.
If it is true that there are non conscious behaviors (like riding a bike or driving your car), there is no evidences pointing toward the existence of an unconscious mind under our own mind.
This reads like he was into determinisms and tries to justify it by using science
The absence of free will doesn't necessarally means that we live in a deterministic universe. We could, but some theoritical model of cosmology and physics could open the door into a world of uncertainty..
