indeed,
#democracy is build on courage and accountability, on #FreeWill and #FreeSpeech
cowardliness and yes-person are it's threat, if not downfall
neutral / objective #journalism is very useful as well

Does God want goodness or the choice of goodness? Is a man who chooses to be bad perhaps in some way better than a man who has the good imposed upon him?

Which team are you on?
I think such a “small” revolution
(of the worker bees, of the foot people...)
would do us all good
and annoying the “slave bosses”
is good anyway...
And it's important
to show “them”
what democracy really means
(violence is not tolerated)
No matter where in the world

SMBC is just so good! I don't understand how @ZachWeinersmith can be so consistently so great for so long! Every time I look at a few random strips from any time, I always want to share at least some of them!
This is just a random example that I just read and had to (because there's no free will, get it!?) share https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2010-12-29
Please share your favorite (if that's even possible to quantify) SMBC strip here!
Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.

Let me be upfront. 98% of you aren't going to be interested in listening to me ramble on for 20 minutes about a recent philosophical epiphany regarding determinism, non self, and free will and out of the 2% that do, most wont watch it all the way through.
I get it.
But for those who think they might be interested, please be kind in the comments. This is just me talking to the camera. No script. Just whatever comes out of my head.
Thanks.

A neuroscientist, eh? I could link to a physicist saying the same thing. If you want to start arguments, toss this into the ether at parties.
Should Christians celebrate Halloween? Should ANYONE participate in this holiday's pagan rooted traditions? Is this popular celebration simply innocent fun?
Take a serious look at it's origins, practices & how it's meaning has evolved over the centuries. Each of us may then decide for him/herself, standing accountable to God for their actions.

Free Will: A Very Short Introduction by Thomas Pink, 2004
Every day we seem to make and act upon all kinds of free choices - some of them trivial, and some so consequential that they may change the course of our life, or even the course of history. But are these choices really free? Or are we compelled to act the way we do by factors beyond our control? Is the feeling that we could have made different decisions just an illusion?
"We must believe in free will… we have no choice." — Isaac Singer — — — #IsaacSinger #quote #quotes #quip #oxymoron #freewill #choice #inevitable #voluntary #predetermined #discretion #humorous #humor
Are humans merely deterministic robots, carrying out our pre-programming at any moment? Some scientists are convinced we don’t have free will. Kevin Mitchell, a neuroscientist and author on the subject, puts the debate in perspective. Read more from BBC Science Focus: https://flip.it/Qmcqzu
