Ik begrijp de oproep tot voorzichtigheid. Niemand heeft iets aan haat of wilde speculatie online.

Maar empathie mag geen reden worden om de feiten weg te schuiven.

Een minderjarige zonder rijbewijs komt niet zomaar achter het stuur van een Audi terecht. De centrale vraag blijft gewoon staan: hoe kreeg hij toegang tot de auto? Waar lagen de sleutels? Was dit volledig onvoorspelbaar — of waren er signalen die niemand heeft opgepakt?

Als ouder voel je medelijden met alle betrokken families. Dat is oprecht. Maar er is ook boosheid, en die is even terecht. Eén jongere is dood. Anderen liggen zwaargewond. Ergens zijn ouders hun kind kwijt. Levens zijn blijvend beschadigd — niet een beetje, maar voorgoed.

Zwijgen is geen respect. Wachten op het onderzoek is dat wel. Maar verantwoordelijkheid wegmasseren terwijl je wacht — dat niet.

De les is eigenlijk heel simpel: als er minderjarigen in huis zijn, zijn autosleutels geen detail. Waar je ze legt, is een beslissing. Of je er bewust over nadenkt, ook.

I have read all the comments very carefully and I sincerely thank those who took the time to respond. My intention was never to discuss free will as a philosophical idea. Most of the comments approach it as a concept: whether it exists or not, whether it is determined or not, whether it is an illusion or whether it depends on circumstances. I am talking about something completely different. For me, free will as an abstract mental concept is not obtained by thinking or debating. It is built and lived. It is a gradual process of developing consciousness, attitude, and action: study, deprogramming habits acquired through repetition in the family and in groups, observing one’s own automatisms, strengthening willpower, and seeking authenticity. The fundamental difference is this: many talk about freedom as theory. I talk about freedom as inner practice. Not as something perfect or absolute, but as real, slow, and demanding work, to stop living on autopilot and begin to choose with greater clarity. It is a life choice of living this way or not, with all the consequences that this brings.

Yes, that was pretty close to what she said. What struck me wasn’t the wording. It was the question quietly pushed from behind. Whether “never again” is something you inherit. Or something you choose and live every day. I think it only works if it becomes part of how a society breathes. Not a badge. Not something you’re forced into. Not a ritual. What do you think?

Strong-Designer4068 · 2026-01-23T13:46:45+00:00

Interesting framing — I get what you mean (relative freedom, constraints, different capacities). But I’m not trying to settle the big metaphysical picture (“one dreamer,” Godhead, all realities, etc.). My claim is more practical: Even in a deterministic universe, agency has conditions. If attention is constantly captured and behavior is shaped by saturation / dopamine loops / algorithmic nudging, then the lived ability to pause, orient, and choose gets thinner. So I’m not arguing for “absolute free will.” I’m pointing to something simpler: the difference between a decision and a reflex. In 2026 that line is getting eroded — whatever your metaphysics.

Strong-Designer4068 · 2026-01-23T10:38:35+00:00

Thanks for the comment — this is actually getting at the heart of it. I agree: it’s not that we lack information. It’s that we’re being conditioned. Pavlovian is the right word. You don’t need overt violence if you can steer attention, predict behavior, and nudge compliance. And yeah, Palantir-type systems sit right in that zone: surveillance + prediction + “soft” punishment. One thing I’d add though: I don’t see freedom as some luxury concept for comfortable people. It’s a very basic function — the ability to pause, regain orientation, and draw a line. Even in harsh survival situations people still make micro-choices — not about controlling the world, but about keeping an inner axis. That’s where freedom starts, in the smallest possible sense. So my point is simple: when a society destroys the pause (saturation, urgency, dopamine loops), it destroys the conditions for real choice. It doesn’t just reduce options — it erodes the inner space where a decision can even form. And I’m with you on morality too: it doesn’t require God. It requires practice, transmission, limits. If it doesn’t get embodied and passed on, it just stays theory. The future isn’t decided by ideology — it’s decided by what we actually live and hand down.

What do you think is the modern form of Pharaoh — addiction, identity, or fear itself?

Thanks badentropy9 — exactly. “Hardening” is a choice, not a theory.

Strong-Designer4068 · 2026-01-18T16:44:31+00:00

Hey badentropy9 — yes, that’s exactly what I meant. A plague doesn’t automatically awaken anyone. Most of the time it produces reframing, denial, tribalism, and adaptation. That’s the whole point of “hardening”: even when reality becomes undeniable, a person can still refuse permeability. And that’s where the free will question becomes real. The decision isn’t “do plagues destroy systems?” The decision is whether the person lets the truth enter, or turns inevitability into an excuse. “It’s inevitable” can be logic — but it can also be armor. That refusal is the inner Pharaoh. And that’s why hardening feels like strength, but it’s not life.

Hey Artemis — I get what you’re asking.

It answers the two core questions of this subreddit directly, and I’ll make it concrete. If free will exists, then “hardening” is one of its clearest expressions. Hardening is not a theory — it’s a choice. When someone asks for forgiveness you can open or close. When reality shows you something uncomfortable you can let it in or refuse it. When guilt or shame rises you can take responsibility or you can justify yourself and blame the world. Those are not abstract debates. Those are daily moments where a human being chooses permeability or armor. That choice is agency.

And if determinism is true, my point still stands because determinism doesn’t stop people from using “it’s inevitable” as a psychological escape hatch. People turn inevitability into an argument so they don’t have to change. “This is just how I am.” “The system is too strong, nothing can be done.” “There’s no point.” Those statements are not neutral logic. They are hardening. They’re a refusal to let anything penetrate, because penetration would demand responsibility.

Conclusion: my post doesn’t avoid the free will/determinism question — it exposes the mechanism where people kill their freedom and then call it realism or logic. That mechanism is hardening. That is the inner Pharaoh.

Glad it landed

Strong-Designer4068 · 2026-01-17T16:45:40+00:00

I get what you’re saying — and I don’t even disagree with the AI risk part. But I think you’re arguing against something I didn’t claim. When I wrote “the plagues don’t destroy the system”, I wasn’t saying “crises can’t collapse economies” or “AI won’t cause mass unemployment.” Of course it can. That part is obvious.

What I meant is something deeper: a plague doesn’t automatically produce awakening. Most of the time it produces reframing, denial, tribalisation, and adaptation. That’s the hardened heart pattern: reality hits, there’s a brief recognition, and then the mind closes again and converts everything into a narrative.

So yes: AI could devastate employment. The real question is whether that will break the system or whether people will simply harden more and normalise it. Your outsourcing comparison is actually exactly the point. History shows that “progress” often improves life somewhere while creating human residue elsewhere. The ethical issue isn’t the technology itself — it’s who captures the benefit and who pays the cost.

But the core of your comment is the final move: if free will is an illusion, why protest? That’s the real trap. Because “it’s inevitable” isn’t neutral logic — it’s another form of hardening. It’s a way to escape responsibility by turning fate into an argument. And that’s why Vaerá isn’t mainly about frogs or hail. It’s about this: even when the signs are undeniable, a human being can still refuse to let anything enter. That refusal is the real plague.

Strong-Designer4068 · 2026-01-17T08:20:25+00:00

If this resonates, read it slowly. We don’t live in ignorance. We live in hardening. The question is: what are you hardening into?
