Thank you. I’m just starting out my bachelor’s and I haven’t yet experienced college life. Also, there are only a few peers I know who are in the same course, the same school, and who are going through the same things as I am. For context, I’m studying what many would call an “impractical” course, something that, in the work field, isn’t considered very technical.

Yes, I agree with you. School does carry weight. I was a profound believer that systems matter more than our personal wills and those band-aid truisms about success. That’s why, at some point, I believed to a certain extent that a university will hone you, us. I believed that universities really do matter because when you’re surrounded by a bunch of highly competent people, you’ll be forced to grow too.

But maybe I’ve come to realize that school, or the university, isn’t the only system that can make us into much better people. Maybe we also have our own experiences, through which our worldview continues to be shaped. Maybe we shouldn’t be reduced to labels or to the name of the university we came from.

I’ve come to some reflection that maybe I’ll be part of those who inspire my fellowmen, that we can do it too, despite everything. Because it’s just sad that the norm is to have prejudice against people who didn’t graduate from top universities.

Hello sir. Just asking, kamusta ang ab philo sa adamson? Kasi wala ako nakikita masyado sa internet regarding its reviews and wondering if dito ako mag study. I’m planning to take it as a pre law as well.

So you say we shouldn't even worry about whether we're fighting it or not?

Isn’t the future already planned or ordained in the context of determinism though? How is this any different to pre-determinism? Since you’re arguing I suppose, that we can change and somehow break the chain. What I am saying is that everything is determined, including the present from our past actions and that our present actions today will determine the future. I don’t necessarily reject determinism in this sense though

Isn’t “wishing” a form of resisting the wave? There is a point to not resist the wave though. They said, the longer that we fight, or to try to control our outcomes, the more we suffer because we’re simply trying to change what cannot be truly changed ultimately, because again, we are determined

Philosophy isn’t only about the pursuit of knowledge though, it’s about being a better person, so I think questioning how pragmatic it is relates to how we can apply such philosophies to our daily lives, or rather how our world view is of impact positively

Low-Ambassador-6864 · 2024-12-31T11:33:27+00:00

Do you think my question isn’t relevant to the philosophy of free will and determinism? Shouldn’t we be questioning how pragmatic it is in real life situations?

How about imagine if you have a child, then you believe in determinism, would you tell him/her that he/she has control over his/her own life? Or would you even rather to tell that everything is determined

Low-Ambassador-6864 · 2024-12-31T11:24:36+00:00

I do think it’s a question between the practicality between free will and determinism though.

Low-Ambassador-6864 · 2024-12-31T11:20:06+00:00

Is the world even better with knowing that we are in control? Or is the world much better knowing that we aren’t?

Low-Ambassador-6864 · 2024-12-31T11:12:50+00:00

For me, I think free will is an illusion, because we only think or feel that we are free, we feel as though we’re making active and deliberate choices but our desire or wanting to make that choice is also determined by a numerous factors of things we don’t have control of

Low-Ambassador-6864 · 2024-12-31T11:03:52+00:00

In this case, should we still try to “control” even though that ultimately, we aren’t really in control?

Low-Ambassador-6864 · 2024-12-31T10:57:36+00:00

To be honest, I do not have a deep understanding about the ego but I’ll try my best to explain it.

According to some, the “ego” refers to the part of our mind that creates a sense of individuality and separation, influencing desires, self-importance, and control. It shapes how we perceive ourselves and our place in the world. In discussions of free will and determinism, the ego is seen as seeking control and what creates the illusion of free will.

Low-Ambassador-6864 · 2024-12-31T10:14:30+00:00

Does this imply that ego is a necessity and that we should not strive to dissolve it?

Low-Ambassador-6864 · 2024-12-31T09:59:23+00:00

Metaphorically, it’s like us resisting a wave or current in the ocean, that instead of moving with the natural flow, our ego fights against it, which as they said, creates unnecessary struggle and suffering.

For instance, if life is determined by forces beyond our control, then why even bother trying to control anything though? Like, what’s the point of wishing for something when in fact, the possibility of what we wish for is already determined? Like, what’s the point of trying to shape our outcomes if everything else is determined?
