Question: Is "unpredictability" and "free will" synonymous!? !?
This is a question for people who came to the conclusion that free will exists based on their studies on quantum mechanics!.

Does randomness leave any room for "free-choices" but the sensation of it!? Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
no they aren't synonymous!. If you always had to be unpredictable then, in essence, you'd be a prisoner of your own unpredictability!.

Free will, in the case, is being able to choose your own level of predictability, or unpredictability!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Equate free will with the freedom one gives to a growing child!. The parent seeks to nurture an independent, free thinking, reasonable, sociable adult!. The child is emotionally and physically restrained until it gains the maturity to be able to manage and exercise self discipline is free will!.

Such is man!. Free will is applicable and noteworthy only in persons capable of handling such power of authority with conscientious moral responsibility towards others mindful or the consequence of his actions and words!. Reasonable!.

Free will becomes a topic of contention or demand in dysfunctional societies accorded privileges by corrupt powers seeking to ingratiate themselves and sustain power thereby!. Measures are implemented in place of free speech with political correctness to curb the voracity of malcontents inflicting emotional injuries upon the sensibilities of each other!. America has failed miserably!. Yet disciplined civilisations raised in ancient cultures remain cohesive, stable and prospering notwithstanding a western need to seek and destroy such nirvanaic places of peace and harmony!.

Loved your question, but a little too deep for me!. So to that end I thought you would appreciate this!.

This was the best I've heard for a while!.!.!.!.
Is Hell exothermic!?

The following is supposedly an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term!. The answer by one student was so
"profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the
Internet, which is,of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well!.

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic
(absorbs heat)!?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law
(gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some
variant!.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time!. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving!. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave!. Therefore, no souls are leaving!.
As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different
Religions that exist in the world today!. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell!.
Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell!.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of
souls in Hell to increase exponentially!. Now, we look at the rate of
change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added!.
This gives two possibilities:
1 !. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose!.
2!. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over!.
So which is it!?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman
year, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you, and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over!. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct!.!.!.leaving only Heaven thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting
"Oh my God!."

Cheers : )

In "Free will", means dictate Forms - Aristotle's theory of universals;
In "Unpredictability", vice versa it is - Plato's "Theory of Forms"

So there are distinctive differences!.

Randomness leaves no room unexplored, free-choices proliferate with existences - which sensations are the by–products of!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
