Why do you assume physicists are the real smart people, as opposed to say mathematicians or philosophers? I've come across plenty of stupid physicists in my time. Also why do you assume a cosmologist would have any real? understanding of what a human is? People make this kind of mistake all the time, supposing that someone who excels in field A is also able in field B. In this instance I'm not saying that I disagree with Hawking, but be careful making such sweeping assumptions.
By: TheLockon00. on 17 May 12, 04:05:21
As am? I. However, Harris does derive some moral assumptions from his determinism that I don't really agree with.
By: TheAtheologian. on 11 May 12, 05:30:00
There's a difference between being a naturalist (no? supernatural/spiritual at all) and being an atheist (rejecting God, one of many supernatural things to be rejected)...
By: TheAtheologian. on 11 May 12, 05:28:31
To my ears, that's? the highest praise.
By: GregariousBird. on 03 May 12, 05:55:49
Dennett has a lot of great ideas but every now and then he says something wacky, like calling for atheists to be rebranded "Brites" and promoting 'secular gospel music'. He's just? a *little bit* crazy.
By: sonofdog1. on 01 May 12, 23:53:16
I was about to comment on that? and saw yours. I just lost a tiny smidgen of respect for him.

Sam Harris? kicks his ass!
By: PorroFirst. on 27 Apr 12, 10:56:34
I don't agree with him. I'm more? of the Sam Harris school of thought.
By: GreyLabyrinthine. on 26 Apr 12, 22:38:58
"you have no more free will than a toaster if you think you're just physical matter." Quoting Patrick Jane: "Men are like toasters. Women... a little more like, uh, accordions." Also: "Just" physical matter? "Just"? How is "being physical" (and I don't mean in the Olivia Newton-John kinda way) not awesome enough? "painful, isn't it?" Uh, no... why would it? be painful to accept that one is being deeply influenced by what's around them? Maybe I misunderstood you...?

53:47 -- He said "irregardless!" ? Dennett is human after all!
By: ReverendNillerz. on 24 Apr 12, 05:33:44
I thought that was the premise? he was supposed to be debating against.
By: kavian06. on 24 Apr 12, 02:24:38
as I said, it's very simple! free will has no meaning in a world ruled by physical laws, where everything is predictable. hence our feeling of having free will is just an illusion. you have no more free will than a toaster? if you think you're just physical matter. painful, isn't it?
By: ReverendNillerz. on 23 Apr 12, 13:27:07
I don't? see how being an atheist is any stance on the existence of free will.
By: ReverendNillerz. on 23 Apr 12, 13:24:23
I think this entire thing can be boiled down to "Stop paying attention? to whether free will exists, because it's impossible to prove it doesn't exist empirically." I don't buy it.
By: ReverendNillerz. on 23 Apr 12, 13:16:35
An hour in and I'm not convinced, on the grounds that all he examples provided and the point he's attempting is a variable that, once removed, does not affect a choice.?
By: ReverendNillerz. on 23 Apr 12, 12:53:14
I find it quite interesting how every shot of the audience seems to focus on someone trying not to sleep. I find this video? fascinating.
By: MrLittletomdj. on 22 Apr 12, 20:01:14
To be honest I don't follow his reasoning at all. He made the analogy about avoiding the flying brick and suggests this wasn't inevitable even in? a deterministic world. Yet he seems to ignore the causal chain which led to the decision of 'choosing' not to duck the brick. I'm not convinced.
By: somerandomer. on 20 Apr 12, 22:52:35
I suppose you're right so long as you accept that notion of? free will as the important one. Someone could accept that the free will you describe does exist, but that this still doesn't justify the claim that anyone can ever really deserve punishment.
By: surix. on 20 Apr 12, 11:08:39
It is very painful to see how? the fact that free will has to be - as shown by everything we have learned about how the universe works - nothing but an illusion. Simply because it is anti-intuitive no amount of evidence is sufficient to educate the vast majority of even somewhat intelligent people.
By: kavian06. on 17 Apr 12, 20:49:37
Stephen Hawking says: "humans are just biological machines, free will is just an illusion", If a human is just physical matter, then it's behaviors are ruled by mathematical formulas, no matter how complex and yet unknown to us, it means no free will, it's that simple. we should listen to the? real smart people(physicists) not people like dennett. I can't comprehend how I don't have free will, so I'm still agnostic. I'm surprised people say they're atheists but they believe they have free will.
By: ChadEnglishPhD. on 12 Apr 12, 23:22:28
This talk serves to further convince me that "compatibilism" is really just about defining free will AS the illusion. Dennett agrees the "Laplacian demon" with perfect knowledge would know the exact future. He says free will IS complex determinism, and his chess programs would have free will if applied? to moral questions, which are essentially complex game theory problems. Hence "free will" is a complex, deterministic mechanism for evaluating game theory problems. This isn't the common meaning.
By: aceytam. on 07 Apr 12, 18:10:28
This lecture of his has done nothing to convince? me of the existence of free will.
By: seelinkrun. on 26 Mar 12, 03:23:18
Dennett doesn't justify compatiblism at all in this lecture. It's necessary and sufficient to show that free will and determinism are true to show that the "you" that is your conscious mind and the "you" composed? of chemicals are one and the same. If you're a physicalist this is the only option. The crux of this explanation is that any choice that the "you" that is your conscious mind would/does make in any situation is the exact same choice the "you" that is the chemicals would/does make.
