Re: Cognitive processes allowing or not allowing free will
Author: Itatw70s ()

Free "will"---a decision mostly based on, both, instinct and calculated risk. I feel sorry for those animals that run across a road and get slaughtered. They made a life-threatening choice, following their instinct to survive by running hard across an unfamiliar road full of moving cars.

Free, yes. They were free to do what is natural to them: RUN. But the hazard was unfamiliar to their "will" to survive.

Very good subject!!!

Also, we humans can reorder and rearrange our thoughtlife, behaviors and even our reactions, due to high level training, like the Martial arts or any sport. Mental reactions can be resolved by mindfulness and calculating practices. All free will.

You should dissolve all discrimination of individuality and absorb all things into a harmonious oneness.
The virtue of a highly evolved being embraces all people and things and dispels the darkness which isolates them.

Hua Hu Ching-primary lesson.
