if your not your authentic real self, does it matter how successful you are?

Do you think there are differences in the ways that men and women approach ethical issues and solve moral problems?
If so what are some of these differences?
And if there are differences, is one way better than the other?

In our brains, that is.

I'm in a bit of a predicament. All of my individual rationalizations, such as my belief in libertarianism, atheism, and existentialism, are all based on the concept of free will. But to know that this concept is refutable on the simple basis of determinism and scientific practicality is a bit unnerving.

For quite some time science has been my ally in upholding the complexities of my rationale, but it at the same time refutes them on sheer principle. I need to know: a) is there free will and b) if so, where is it? What aspect of our psyches and gray matter houses this phantom of a concept?

Are our choices and decisions determined by mere variables and circumstance? Are our brains nothing than input-output machines; mirrors reflecting nothing but the environment around us in a distorted light?

I'm not so sure of how people "live" in the past. I think about the past present and future. Mainly I just deal with the present and what's going on. But I do remember the past and have learned from it . I recall it because without I wouldn't be here in this present of who I am now. And of course, I prepare for the future.

I fervently believe it is, and I challenge you to disprove it.
Your prize will be a long and peaceful afterlife as a flying biscuit.

Morality is, in the end, empty and flimsy, as the torrent that is emotion sweeps over it. As such, it should be understood that everyone has a breaking point before a certain destination is reached (e.g. torture).

Furthermore, what is moral in one culture is disproved of in another. Is there an objective moral standard? Also, why isn't morality evident in the younger generations, who base their habits more on repetitive experience rather than self-thinking?

Do young humans feel justice? Injustice? Morality...

Is it true that the only reason Copernicus is preferred to Ptolemy (i.e. the heliocentric theory over the geocentric) is that it makes the math a lot simpler? Is there any empirical proof that the earth goes around the sun, apart from Ockham's razor? (I.e. the simplest explanation, accounting for the relevant facts, is the preferred one.)

I mean when you do something really nice for someone and sacrifice a part of your pleassure in the end you have a nice feeling and that gives you pleassure back, so it isn't that a selfless act. Is there something good you can do for someone else and be sad afterwards? I think that would be really selfless.

Obviously it is best to advise our loved ones in life and not wait until dying. Nonetheless, I have written what humble advice I can for my son in case I should die. Each new moment of experience and wisdom obligates me to add or change this document again and again. If you were to lie on your deathbed today, your most loved ones asking for last words of advice, what would they be?

(ADVICE only, do not give expressions of love please, although, granted, these words are always important and have their place and time in life).
