Hi all, I’d like to discuss a new take on the issue of free will and determinism that I think resolves this long-lasting controversy and has important implications for how people behave and treat one another. In fact, the implications are far reaching due to changes in our environment that are able to produce positive changes in human conduct. It is true that the free will/determinism debate has been exhausted, but I believe that this author has a novel approach and what this means for the betterment of our world.

I want to demonstrate how responsibility is increased when we understand the truth of our nature and how, as we extend this knowledge, we can prevent many of the ills that exist in society. Is anyone interested in learning why this chasm between determinists and libertarians has existed for so long, and how reconciling these differences can create a fantastic change for the bet

I hope I can get some interest, as the knowledge I am presenting is novel. It's important to mention that the author used the word God throughout his books but was clear that this word only meant the laws that govern our universe. If he was still living (he passed away in 1991), he may have changed how he expressed himself, but this does not change the value of his words. I want to reiterate that this is not a religious work. I know people's time is valuable and they don't want to read something they know nothing about. Maybe they will make an exception. This knowledge lies locked behind the door of determinism, but please don't jump to premature conclusions. The author was a philosopher but was forced to self-publish. He was not a part of a university and held no distinguishing titles. As a result, he was unable to reach those who could have been instrumental in passing along his work. His entire adult life was dedicated to sharing his findings in a way that others could comprehend. He wrote 6 books in all and thanks to technology, they have been reproduced online. The book I am sharing today is my compilation. Some people have said it's too longwinded. Maybe that's true, but it's important to remember that form is less important than what is being conveyed. Please keep this in mind if you decide to read it.
PG, you have so far not demonstrated anything. We have looked for ourselves and reject the book.
You read the first three chapters?
Read as much as I could without laughing.
That's not an answer. Not once have you asked anything that indicated you read it. You're not fooling me.
You have finally acknowledged that the image is formed when light reflects off an object and that information arrives at the eye with a delay.
No, that is the thing he's disputing. Light travels, but it does not bounce off objects, taking the object's lightwave with it, which then travels through space/time (eons of time) where that light finally reaches our retinas, which then gets transduced through chemical changes that create images in our brains, which then become what scientists call sight. Talk about Occam's Razor!
Now you argue we don't know how the brain works but the book does. You made a vague reference to the brain taking a photograph.
If values are not in the light, then it has to be some other way we become conditioned by words. This is the missing element.
Still looking for you to p-rove how this philosophy changes human behavior for the better
You don't have a clue, and neither does anyone else. You didn't read the first three chapters.
1. Why is the will of man not free, Steve? (Chapter One)
2. What is the other principle that leads to his discovery? (Chapter One).
3. What is the two-sided equation? (Chapter Two).
4. Why can't someone strike a first blow under the new conditions? (Chapter Two)
5. Why does carelessness come to a virtual end? (Chapter Three)
These are clearly spelled out in these chapters. You should be able to answer these easily. But I know you can't.
Quo0tng te book is not proof.
Quoting the book is not proof unless it is correct. AND IT IS CORRECT.
