Proof is the concept that a perception can be true. In a sense a perception can be true, but proof assumes objectivity.

Proof is subjective because the only way you can 'prove' something is to perceive something as true. Perception of course, is subjective.

Proof is dependency because the followers of 'proof', such as scientists, are controlled by what they perceive.

Take this for instance. Let's say there are 2 groups of chimpanzees living on opposite sides of a river gorge. One group of chimpanzees believe that the water is dangerous because one of their members drowned in the river. The other group believes the water is safe to go into, because neither of them have drowned and they catch fish in their hands regularly.

So to one group of chimpanzees, it's been proven that the water is unsafe. To the other group, it's been proven to be a fun splash around for dinner.

How can we truly have free will if we don't chose the conditions we're born into?

We don't chose our genetic makeup, our parents/family, our starting socieconomic status, or the kind of society we are born into. With all of these very important factors being totally out of our control, how much freedom is really left for us to have? Even our personalities and decision making processes are the results of the aformentioned factors and social conditioning. It seems to me that we only percieve that we have free will because we don't have the time or brain power to really understand how all the deterministic factors interact. Free will is our mental shortcut.

But I know there are many many people who do believe in free will, that the ultimate decision of who we are and what we do lies solely within us. So I ask them, how can you reconcile the concept of free will with the very important life factors that are out of our control?

It is said that one is “forced to be free” through one’s obedience to the General Will. Is this an oxymoron?
