If you have nothing to do with it then how is it a choice?

~~jwb~~ · 07-25-2019, 09:42 PM

Er... Nah I would disagree. It's still the right choice to go to work cause in most cases that's a better way to keep your job. You're basically playing the odds.

What you're saying is like saying you can ride the elevator and get to work on time or take the stairs and be late. This particular day the elevator breaks down and makes you more late. Therefore it was a bad choice vs the stairs.

This ignores the pragmatic element of making choices. But it would undoubtedly still be a bad decision to take the stairs everyday instead.

I don't think you answered the question.

We don't disagree life can throw you a nice kick the teeth regardless of choice. I feel like we've been over this. This doesn't mean your choices aren't worth taking seriously or focusing on.

Man, you guys are arguing the same thing at each other.

Well, that's cause we're a product of our environment. We been spending most our lives living in a gangstas paradise.

I don't think it's so much a misunderstanding as it is that determinism makes sense theoretically but not once you try to apply it to how you live your life

bc it's not something that can be applied.
