I always ask myself in discussions about human free will, why do people doubt free will? Is it because people would like to be without responsibility for their actions, is it because the doubters possibly have no free will themselves and want to deny free will to other people? Personally, I find...

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it's not just the brain that is involved in processing information, but the whole body. The old mechanistic view of the human being, which degrades us to a mechanical gearbox, has no meaning for me. From my own experience, I know that it is not only this...

Have you also read the Wikipedia articles on this? I don't think such an experiment says anything at all about free will. Of course impulses come from the unconscious. But these impulses are the result of my whole life and my personal character. Of course, the brain tries to use this information...

For me, intuition is something like a self-programmable instinct. We humans are able to make decisions over and above our instincts. Animals are not as familiar with this. It has already been briefly mentioned here that we usually think in a linear way. This is due to language and the need to...

Are you currently able to supply your house with this energy, yes or no?

My opinion is rather that INFJ have the ability to adapt. Depending on the environment and requirements, we are able to behave optimally. This ability may also be the factor that fundamentally distinguishes an INFJ from other characters. However, this is not opportunism, but rather the skills of...

Oh no, he was pretty relaxed. I've been with this company for over 46 years, I'm going to retire soon anyway. If I wanted to I could leave at any time. I know he didn't want me to. So I say to myself more and more often that they should do what they want.

Just from today I can give a simple example. I wanted to point out some missing information in a safety-relevant document to my boss. He ignored my requests and attacked me personally. Now there is no way I am going to beg him to allow me to help him. Let him fight with the security auditors...

I also believe that we are not changing tremendously in the basic things. However, I do think we are changing in how we interact with the world around. It was only a few years ago when I found out that I was an INFJ-A. A lot of things in my life became clearer to me after that. But I have also...

What happens when an INFJ realizes that he is only being taken advantage of when he puts himself out for others? Will he develop into a different type, or is he strong enough to withstand these demands? Those of you who have been studying MB typing for some time, have you seen a trend in your...

And I wonder what your motivations are for asking this question. What do you expect people to be able to answer? The bottom line is that I don't see much difference in your question from the original question.

There is one thing that no mathematician or physicist or astronomer can really explain to you. That is infinity. No one is able to say where our world comes from and goes to. It is infinity in the past and infinity in the future. Infinity in space and time. Every time you try to grasp this...

And the initial question referred expressly to whether the consciousness of the human being fulfills a purpose and not whether there are still other life forms with consciousness. Besides, we can start only from ourselves. And I at least know that I have a consciousness, and I seem to be a...

To be a human being, or to be human, means for me above all to have a broad basis in all areas. That means, also totally contrary ideas are in my thoughts. For example logic and feeling. On the one hand I am a very emphatic person, on the other hand I am concerned about Gödel's incompleteness...

I'm going to assume that AI is meant here by artificial intelligence. I watched 2 minutes of this video, and I have to say that I can't imagine that a robot would be able to produce these statements. Rather I can imagine that real humans used cues from AI to formulate complete sentences. And if...
