Thanks! I think I've heard of them before... However, yeah, I'm not gonna spend that much on headphones ever! Anything over 100€ is probably out of my budget, at least for the foreseeable future.
Maybe, but I think there's something much more insidious going on here than a random person with weird delusions. I think this is a symptom of the panic narrative that's being boosted all over the world by far-right parties and candidates, social media, and incompetent - or at least misguided - news networks.
If you keep hearing about how the big evil is all around you - it's your neighbors that looks different, your colleagues with a weird accent - and that that evil is coming to get you sooner rather than later, then when you see something that looks different than usual, what are you gonna think it is? The big evil you've been hearing so much about, of course.
This time, it's some old lady thinking paragliders are Hamas, but many times it's some other people saying "the gays" are trying to spread communism and infect the children.
And let me make it clear: I am eating. I'm just eating much less than I used to eat, but that's because I used to eat WAY TOO MUCH, which is why I gained weight in the first place.
This seems like a very weird way to look at the issue.
For one, not being able to understand minute, uncountable connections and interactions doesn't mean we can't realize a broader relationship of causality between them and our own actions. There are many things we don't know - that's right and undeniable - but there are also many things we do know, or at least that we think we know. Sure, you can go around saying "we understand so little about [virtually any scientific discipline], might as well assume that whatever soothes my psyche is true," but just because the first part of that statement is true doesn't mean the whole thing is reasonable. In my opinion, by the way, it isn't reasonable.
Assume free will exists; if you are wrong, it will made no difference;
Here's a question for you: if you assume free will doesn't exist, what difference does it make? I mean, you still feel like it exists, you live your life as if experiencing it, and regardless of whether you, as an individual, believe it or not, the world continues on as if it does exist. I really see no difference, in practical terms, between believing free will exists or not.
A little off-topic, but this reminds me of those people that say that morality can't exist outside of religion. You say you're an atheist, and then they ask you why you don't go around killing people. Hopefully you understand what I'm talking about here.
