The "Choice" Illusion

Ajouté : 2026-05-12

[00:00:00]What if the question isn't about if there's someone who has free will or not.

[00:00:08]What if free will is simply just another idea, another stored meaning that has been created by the human organism's interface.

[00:00:21]So many people like to ask the question or debate, "Do we have free will?"

[00:00:28]But I think you have to look at it a little deeper.

[00:00:32]Strip away the apparent language and the apparent individual and see that for the idea of free will to even exist, there must be the assumption that there is someone.

[00:00:57]And we see how there is there the apparent someone.

[00:01:00]There is the apparent world and the apparent free will that someone has in the apparent world.

[00:01:07]But for most of us and most of humanity, this isn't an apparent world and this isn't and you're not an apparent someone.

[00:01:17]And free will isn't an idea.

[00:01:22]It's called my life.

[00:01:25]And it feels like we're doing it.

[00:01:29]But without diving too deep into it, it's not very hard to see that language, for you to understand these words, English, coming out of my mouth, you had to learn the words.

[00:01:47]You had to store the meaning.

[00:01:50]You had to see how you could use them in a sentence, what was normal and what was not.

[00:01:57]I see this with my 5-year-old as we teach him we teach him reality as we know it, the human organism.

[00:02:08]What the senses allow us to see, so he can distinguish between a vehicle, a boat, a tree, but you have to because it's needed to function in the apparent world.

[00:02:28]But, it is undeniable that it is taught, it is learned, and it is stored in the VR headset, the user interface, the brain, whatever you want to call it for it to operate, to navigate this.

[00:02:49]But, just because it is a an apparent language, and it apparently seems real, and it apparently seems to be truth, doesn't actually mean that it is.

[00:03:08]So, the idea of free will, where does free will even come from?

[00:03:15]The idea of it.

[00:03:17]It comes from the same manufactured language.

[00:03:21]And free will has a stored meaning that there's a center agency independently choosing and doing, right?

[00:03:32]Something along those lines.

[00:03:38]So, the question of is there this free will or is there not, isn't something that even exists or is even real.

[00:03:51]How hard it is to make a video expressing this using this manufactured language pointing out that it's manufactured and then I'm saying the words such as exist, real, reality.

[00:04:03]It makes no sense. It's all manufactured. There's none of this.

[00:04:11]Just like there is no free will.

[00:04:15]And I leave you with one little thing.

[00:04:22]If all of these labels, if this language, this me, the name, and all the learning that seems to be done, if it's all manufactured, if it all if it's all just apparent, if we don't find it in this happening or this appearance, we don't find these names and these labels and these categories, this isn't a dog. It's only a dog to the human being, to the brain, so we can relate to it, use it in communication.

[00:05:08]If we don't find a dog in this organism, we just find this.

[00:05:18]We don't find free will in this. We just find this.

[00:05:27]Come here. Good girl.

[00:05:29]Good girl.

[00:05:34]Maybe it's not a question of is there free will or isn't there.

[00:05:41]Maybe there's no question to ask because there's no answer to come to with this limited menu that's limited to the senses and what the human being has learned.

[00:05:57]So, there's only an apparent answer.

[00:06:01]Maybe there's just this.

[00:06:04]This appearance, this happening, unfolding.

[00:06:10]Because there's nothing to describe it.

[00:06:18]Here I go again using words that I learned with stored meaning.

[00:06:23]But, that would mean that this is pretty damn magical.

[00:06:30]Miraculous.

[00:06:32]Unexplainable. Breathtaking.

[00:06:38]Because I don't know what it is.

[00:06:41]It just seems to be happening.
