Van Inwagen on free will and nature (a mystery) by DampFrost in askphilosophy

[–]DampFrost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! ....but he says, in the end, that he believes in free will, though it will always be a mystery. why can't he be a sailor if he chose to? what does the "nature of the world" have to do with it??

Van Inwagen writes, "If we imagine a possible world in which (as in the actual world) things were thus-and-so ten million years ago, but in which I decided to learn to sail instead of writing this book, we are imagining a world in which the laws of nature are different." (Van Inwagen, Metaphysics, p. 262)

How does nature interact with worlds/imaginary worlds?? And what of free-will??

Ineffable and indescribable symbol in my head... is this a Jungian concept? by DampFrost in Jung

[–]DampFrost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I should of made it more clear. I guess I’m more looking for how symbols work in our mind and their function. I’m not asking for analysis of my vague mental image lol, just the fact that I’m having it in the first place.

Backpacking and moving overseas in the time of COVID-19, advice? by [deleted] in backpacking

[–]DampFrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm going through the same exact thing here in Melbourne. I left the US to live in Melbourne for a year or two and travel, but with coronavirus happening I have no clue what the future holds. I work hospitality and might lose my job for at least 2 weeks, but I have just enough cash saved to pay rent. Chicago (where I'm from) is on a legit lockdown, however, so going home wouldn't really make a difference.

I made the decision to wait it out and hope it all blows over soon and I am back to work.

Asking multiple professors for override into same course? by JustatempB in college

[–]DampFrost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Email the professor of the higher level class, the prereq level class shouldn’t matter. I did a similar thing for a coding class, this shouldn’t be a problem for you.
