What is free will; it is the ability to choose among different options without being determined by past events or environments.
Have you ever questioned your choices, the building block that determines your life path, from the day you were born till you die, it is what makes us happy, sad, angry, regretful…
But can we chance our destiny, is it in our hands, or we are living in a giant computer and our paths are predetermined.
From day one, each baby has predetermined characteristics that will affect his entire life, and for the sake of simplicity, we will not delve into every aspect of the human character.
Every one of us has inherited his genes from his parents and those genes will determine the most important organ in our lives, our brain.
Each one of us has a level of intellect, inherited and predetermined, am sure that some of you might say intellect can be improved, but you cannot bring a child with an 80 IQ score and expect him to be Albert Einstein if we work on him
So the most important organ in our bodies, the one responsible for all our choices, the brain, has already a predetermined level of analysis, inherited from our ancestors.
Think of your brain like a computer processor, from the day this processor was born, it has a certain capability to analyze data and come up with certain actions
But the weird thing is that you are making your decisions based on an inherited organ with a predetermined amount of analysis.
Close your eyes for a moment and remember every major decision you have taken in your life.
Did you? Good, now imagine you had the brain of Stephen hawking, how would you have acted in those same circumstances, where would that brain have taken you, although neither me, you or Stephen hawking had the choice to choose this organ, this processor that will be responsible for every action taken in our lives.
To be continued…
