How can you believe in free will? Everything around us effects who we are. We didn't choose our surroundings, we really don't start making chooses till we're in our teens. Then we can actually change our environment. Even our thoughts are just random. We don't control thinking about the girl we sat next to in 5th grade math. It came from no where. Random neurons going off causing things. I know we can say, 'Hey I'm going to get a sandwhiche,' or, 'I think I'll go talk to that person over there and ask them,' but did we really choose this. Wouldn't someone in our shoes that have experienced exactly what we have done the same exact thing?

& why did you pick them?

Assume the rountrip space voyage would take 1 and 1/2 years and you are there only to handle emergency problems and you don't expect any. Besides you have all the operating and repair manuals you could ever need already on computer and you can communicate with space command.whenever you like. Assume you like to study and think about philosophical problems and philosophical theories.

note This is a 2 part Q in philosophy and I am particularily interested in the explanation or criteria for your picks.

They seem to keep to themselves and isolate themselves from society. If they don't integrate with society than do they serve a purpose? There have been some notable monks, Gregor Mendel for example, but he was famous for something other than what monks do. Can someone show me the light?

If you are trying to help an enemy would you praise or denegrate? (If you are trying to help a friend, you would naturally praise.)

If you are trying to ruin a friend, you would naturally denigrate. But if you are trying to ruin an enemy would you praise or denegrate?

Memories make a 'full' life...what fun, exciting, relaxing things do you do that seem to add 'time' to your life....that break up the 'blur' of it all going by so quickly?

I stated it that way because I know there are conditions of extreme pain and the like which one might die in order to escape. And when I say "give up existing", I mean entirely - no Heaven or Hell or any other afterlife, only oblivion.

I really like the rain. Sometimes it makes me sad and homesick if I am away when it rains. I also like when it is raining when I am in the car and a slow sad song comes on and I stare out the window at the wet highway. What is your favorite thing in nature?

When you look at another person, that is the first thing you see.

But how can a person overcome all the baggage associated with a particular race to not stereotype them...mostly in negative light?

... and if so, should social contract consider vices when freedoms/protections are to be enumerated? For example, some say that the creation of welfare as a protection of against poverty is immoral because humans would naturally exploit it to avoid working. What are your thoughts on this? I'm looking for a philosophical perspective, not political banter.
