Neuroscience supports the existence of Free Will and it is not a delusion nor an Illusion

There is a very dangerous myth that is out there surrounding free will and neuroscience of the human mind. There are people whom are spreading misinformation out there and unfortunately one of them is Sam Harris. Someone whom in so many other ways has always been so great at defending the reality of The Universe against the unreality of theistic mysticism. Yet, on and on in the passed decade he has slowly faded into insanity which includes denying the existence of the self and the will of that self.

The idea that the self is not real is not scientific at all. The self is the way of identifying all of the processes within your brain between your ears. The fact that the self is a natural thing that is your brain and not supernatural does not mean the self does not exist. The nonexistence of a literal soul does not mean there is no mind as your mind is the workings of your brain. Thus your brain is that which mystics call your soul and that is itself the humans individual mind.

Within the workings of your mind of course is cause and effect. It is a naturalistic and materialistic in the meaning of the word vs immaterial nonexistence of a supernatural soul or spirit. However, that does not all mean we have no free will at all. In fact, quite the opposite we have in a sense been determined by the very nature of our homo-sapien brains to be free in our wills. In this sense there is for sure determinism in our nature.

We do have evolved psychologies and many of our predispositions and tendencies certainly are coming from this evolved nature of our psychology. No doubt many of those very true sex based differences between males and females have came from these evolved differences. Our instincts that we do definitely have come from this very evolved nature. However, the existence of these evolved traits of our both divergent and shared human traits does not in anyway equal us not having self-regulation, self-control or a will of our own. The existence in us as in all material in this world of a cause and effect does not mean we are predetermined by these instincts and lower order natures as it were.

Yes, evolutionary psychology is more than likely the least incorrect view of psychology that humans would fall into. However, the fact that there is cause and effect. The fact that were are determined in this way does not make us deterministic creatures in the sense of hard determinism and predetermined to be x, y or z. We are in fact as I mentioned earlier determined to be free and science is showing that this very evolutionary psychology is what causes that sense we have known as free will. Of course, where else would a will come from, but, evolution we are evolved animals it could come nothing, but, evolution.

We can know free will exists very easily and this is an experiment done by Daniel Dennett in his lectures on free will. Which is that if someone throws a ball at someone that person can either move and not be hit or not move and be hit dead on. The fact that you can choose to move or choose not to move is in fact a very fundamental evidence of at least a decent enough sense of freedom to matter to anyone. The fact that people could stay at his lecture or leave or not even have came is also an evidence of free will.

There is measurable free will and it literally can be measured in experiments. We have a will, we have self-regulation and self-control. We also above all else can choose to think about a matter or not to think, and, then to act accordingly. It is this that is one of our main freedoms of will as the animal we are as a homosapien. As long as one can choose to think or choose not to think of the consequences and then act accordingly we have as free of a will as we as a species would ever want. Free will does not mean there is no causes and no effects. It does not mean there is no predispositions and no tendencies or pushes or pulls of primordial pre-modernity within our minds at all.

We have all kinds of subconsciousness within our minds no doubt and no one that has ever defended the existence of free will would say otherwise. This does not invalidate the idea of freedom of will which is based primarily on the reality that we are not predetermined entities where everyone man, woman and child will always act the same way and will make many different decisions in their lives. Neuroscience does not as some have said disprove free will in fact neuroscience is proving the existence of this aspect of human nature more and more over time. Despite what the really delusional anti-free will hard determinism myth preaches free will is alive and well.

Mass Shootings are not the result of men or masculinity

Earlier today I took a look at my Google News feed only to see misandric bullshit flash at me as headlines. It looks the Feminazi side of the far-left is now parading around the idea that "toxic" masculinity holds responsibility for the recent mass shootings that have taken place. Further than that they went onto try and say all mass shootings are a product of this "toxic" masculinity. This is nothing less than the pure unadulterated hatred of men and their core characteristics as men known as masculinity. 

Somehow being masculine has been once again interchanged for mental instability possible in any member of the human species. It has been tagged with being the worst of human traits with women and the feminine being pure as the driven snow never violent or insane. This is historically and objectively wrong. In the real world any woman you meet could turn out to be a hysterical psycho as much as any man. Women also rape, women also pillage, women also shoot other people and women kill all the time. 

It is in human nature to have the possibility to embrace either being a good person who does not harm others or to embrace instead the evil part of human nature and go on a rampage. It has nothing to do with what is between your legs if you are going to do vile things. It comes down to the way your brain is functioning and also how your mindset is within that brain. It comes down a lot of times to brans that are damaged. For example brain tumors have turned sane folks into pedophiles and violent dangerous individuals. 

It is not just men that are violent all humans have the ability to do violence and sometimes that is completely justified. What people do not want to admit is people that people misusing violence are in fact choosing to use something that could be used for great good for the wrong things. Violence is not interchangeable with harming innocent people that is only one manifestation of this very important part of our human nature. No humans have ever been the so-called Noble Savage, but, we have been a savage alright. Violence can and has historically been used over and over for great good. 

Fighting off the barbarian hordes that want to rape and kill your tribes is built into our evolutionary psychology. It is in our deepest levels of our brains wiring to be prone to violence and extensive violence if needed in order to defend the village innocent from the barbarians at the gates. This is just in our nature as the species that we are. Sometimes that nature also can be misused for great evils and people can be manipulated into doing horrible things with the great power called violence. As Uncle Ben said "with great power comes great responsibility." It is something that we hold in our hand at any time which is why we need institutions that work to mitigate the violence. We call them governments. 

The truth is that masculinity is all about historically the opposite of harming others. It is the men that have historically fought off the predators and protected the innocent. They are the ones that were majority in the role of defenders and fighters on the front lines against the psychopaths that killed. It is the men as hunters that protected the women and children of the tribe living lives as disposable to the needs of the tribe for protection and provision. Indeed these men were often fighting other men whom themselves were also intending to protect their own tribes and too being disposable for their own tribe. It was a fight of two groups of men both considering what they were doing as protecting their own. 

Far from being the cause of mass shootings and modern day violence masculinity is most embraced in the people that jump in to help people out from that violence. All the security, police, firemen and so forth that jumped in for example in Las Vegas are portraying masculinity and embracing their manhood. Just like the women that jumped in and helped were showing the best in their femininity and womanhood. Mass shooters and other scumbags are embracing the darker side of human nature and anyone can do that the gender does not make a difference. Masculinity is not toxic being a dangerous psychopath is which is genderless. To say masculinity is toxic is to collectivize all people with a penis to being x, y or z.

We are in a weird time where all men are being called the bad men. We are constantly being told by the fem-fem the nutters in gender that all men need to repent for the actions of a few. That being a man is an original sin no different than being born into a world as fallen by Fundamentalists. Men are not bad because some men do bad things. Men are not all rapists and murderers. Men are simply usually going through our daily lives trying to show to the world we are people of good character. Trying to have good friends, decent families and find our partner or companions. Most men you meet will not be assaulting you or harming you in anyway. 

  

Social Justice Lunatics add Black & Brown to the Pride flag as representations of race.

So, Black Activists have decided to fuck with the Pride Flag by adding two new colours to it. A bland and brown strip representing blacks and browns in skin colour. It is so ludicrous as nothing in the flag represents race of any kind. Each of the colours represent something different and they are as follows;

Nothing in the Pride flag is marked as any specific race, sex, ethnicity or national origin. As much as I am not a fan of the Pride movement (at least in the 1st world) I know what the flag represents. It has nothing to do with any sort of demographics that have to do with race. There is no need to take the flag representing Pride and add in colours representing ones race. It is itself racist and separates the races into separate teams.

I might shit talk LBGT communities and Pride organizations over various things. However, that does not mean Black Activists should be coming in and wrecking things by adding in racism politics to Pride. There is already enough identity in Pride as it exists already. The last thing that needs to happen is for more identity politics to be added on top of what is already present in the broader Pride movement.

This is the curse of gays accepting the Social Justice Warriors and their progressive stack bullshit. The gbl will be pushed under the bust for the sake of Trans-trenders and for the sake of the bed they have built with nut case zealots. Black activits LEAVE the Pride Flag alone! For fucks sake and feminism leave gay/bisexual men alone too! Fuck off with your Social Justice far leftism you are cancer on everything you touch! Fuck off fuck off!

Both Biological Determinism and Free Will/Self-Regulation are both true.

Lately, I have been doing a lot of research into the science of free will and determinism to see is there in fact science/evidence of such thing as a free will in neurosciences. Among my journey I have found a disturbing trend that a lot of neuroscientists are doing whatever they can to prove we have no human free will. That our reason and rationality is itself nothing, but, an illusion. In fact, further from that our "self" is an illusion we are only chemicals and neuronetworks with no ability to even really make choices.

This is not something I have seen in the actual science itself about free will. It does show that in many ways free will is not what we think it is. That in some ways it could be called free wont and not free will. However, it is there in the very existence of self-control and regulation of our behavior and cognitive behavior therapy which works on internal mindsets. However, there are absolutists in the free will debate which wish to ignore that "free will or wont" is an upgraded or a downloaded add on to an already formed older physiology.

One could argue not all of our choices are the completely conscious ones and that a lot is subconscious. It also is in addition true that not all of our decisions are like cold-calculating rational mathematical tools or anything. We often will make decisions based on a hybrid of reasons, but, we can chose to act or not on the desires we have come to our mind. We can divert our attention to one thing or another. We can distract ourselves or we can free wont or free will ones ideas. Even if simply by not acting in one way or another. Self-regulation does exist and that very well could be just another word for a scientific free will.

I am not arguing that evolutionary psychology is not real. Not at all self-regulation is a new module added to all the old modules evolution already developed in our brains. Self-regulation, reason and self-control, thought control and self-actualization is all biological processes. They are physiological and materialistic process in our brains. That which we call our mind is the content of our brain. Both that which is rational and reasonable. As well as that which is irrational or unreasonable. Our emotional whims and our other evolved functions are all just that an evolved process. An evolved motor in between our ears and behind our eyes.

There is only physiology/neuronetworks and brain chemistry that is correct, but, that is not same as having no self nor having no ability of will. Our self is all that our brain is both the negative and the positive. Both the good and the bad. Our brain both the subconscious, conscious, reasonable and most insane is our mind, our self and our individual "I," and our self. Both free will/free wont/self-regulation and biological/evolutionary/physiological determinism is true. The answer to this debate is compatibility. Other words the viewpoint known as "compatibilism." Which acknowledges the truth of both biology, our evolved natures and also our ability to regulate/mindset and free will. Removing the truth of self-regulation is very dangerous to a civilized society and to dealing with mental issues.

A MGTOW is not gay because he does not live for women nor is he a fag. Men are not walking utlities.

I want to start off by saying I know there are extremely nutty people whom use the term MGTOW for themselves and I am not saying there is not. There are legitimate things to be said about the "movement" with the name. However, I am not going to be talking about those people nor the "movement." I am going to be talking about the idea of MGTOW in general which is that men go their own way. Deciding not to be in a relationship with women, not having sex nor dating and shunning marriage. Which is all the term originated as meaning by it.

I recently saw the chat on a very famous Youtube channel in which the chat was nothing, but, a bunch of name calling. Basically calling the fellow whom was a MGTOW gay and a fag for his not even bothering to care nor wanting to have a woman in his life. Nor wanting to have sex with anyone and just living his own life. So, basically a man that is not with a woman or chasing women or caring is not a man? Is just cause to have slurs thrown at him because he has more important values in life to work towards?

This is just inane. Men do not lose their value or humanity because they have noticed things being stacked against them and choose to not participate in what a MGTOW sees as a rat race going nowhere. Not having sex with women does not mean you by default have sex with men. That is inane and stupid. It means you are not having sex period it is called "abstinence." When religious people do it they are often called "monks." It does not make you gay or a fag for not living your life with women as a center of it. It is simply putting yourself and what is best for you first. Which we all should.

I do not live in a Gynocentric mindset where my life is defined by the fact there is or is not women in it. I live in a Chriscentric mindset where I live for me, my bliss, my joy, my rational self-interest, my pursuing of my own happiness in life. Frankly, women I do not know already never enter my mind because they are not people I know and thus have no reason to be there. Nor do men I do not know enter my mind either. Strangers are well strangers, but, that seems obvious to most I would hope. I do not have an obligation to think about some random "women" nor "men" when I am living my life.

I am not myself currently in any relationship with anyone and nor do I have a want to get married anytime in the near future. This does not make me a fag or "gay" in anyways, but, it does mean I am sort-of MGTOW in my own way. In that I do not have any desire to get married nor to have children. Nor is my life built around the need for a woman; any woman because my duty is to some collective woman. My life is built around an individual called me and no one else. The idea that MGTOW is gay or fag is completely ludicrous.

I bring this back to the underlying view that men need to be somehow sacrificial to an alter of women to be worthy men. Or that somehow men are not of value and do not have basic human dignity absent women. All of which is both Gynotheistic in that they treat the female and feminine as a Goddess to which all males or the masculine must worship and live for to be worthy. It is totally bullshit and is a female oriented repainting of philosophical sacrifice making men into walking wallets and dildos. Something I find a lot of even well meaning people seem to still buy into.

Women like all men need to realize that respect is earned and not given like manna from the sky in a Garden of Eden. Which means for me to really respect you I need to know you and get to know you. Respect will be earned and not just dispensed like candy from a vending machine. This does not go by the genitals you have, but, is a general rule. This is real life and no woman is a goddess, queen or princess. They are all human. No man is a god, prince or king they too are human. We are all just walking naked 5the Apes and nothing more in the eyes of the broader existence we call The Universe and life itself.

Benevolence is not the same as respect and good will towards man-qua-man is not the same thing as respect either. One is a character trait related to ones view of humanity and how to treat people irregardless of respect. The other is something particular and earned by someone from someone over time. I have benevolence for humanity and all others outside myself. I do not have respect for everyone and I would even say I have lost respect for more people in life over time than I have gained it. So, I can say I have benevolence for others irregardless of gender, but, all people need to earn the later which is respect.

All people should be able to live for themselves no matter man or woman. All people should be able to decide if they have sex or no sex, or even want to try to have sex. All people should be able to pick to have relationships or none. All people should get to decide if they want married or to have kids. As well as whom they associate with. Or whom they disassociate with as well. People do not need to deal with each other. They get to decide based on "hopefully reasonable" metrics whom to deal with or not deal with. Whom to date or not. Whom to do business with or not. Et cetera.

That is what we call freedom people. Men get to be just as free as anyone else and get to decide whom to associate with. Whom to sleep with or not sleep with. Whom to do business with and whom they respect or have no respect for. In major situations even benevolence might need to be traded for pure righteous judgement which commands that one be completely unwavering in how evil another person or group of people might be. This is all part of not being a surf to others and their needs. Men either are free to choose or they are a surf to others be them other men or women.

If MGTOWS cannot be MGTOW then it means these men are slaves to all non-MGTOW and are living on a modern day plantation. With non-MGTOW of all stripes cracking the whip at them and making them stay in line. I am against surfs and I am anti-slavery. For this reason I would never criticize another man for wanting to go their own way and not have anything to do with women. I will and have criticize members of the "movement," and the "movement's" views. However, that is not criticizing the "going own way," but, the ides and that person that has those ideas.

I would never call a MGTOW gay or a fag for being MGTOW that is as I said inane. It means you support these people being surfs to all the people outside of their movement. Freedom means freedom of speech to say even some of the most nutso ideas. So, just because some say some very nutty things does not mean that the going your own way has anything to do with the other views. Freedom is freedom everyone that is peaceful has it or we are not living in a free society, period!

I am not emasculated and weak to admit I am vulnerable right now; to seek help.

Lately I have been having issues with my anxiety and depression. I was talking with my friend about this issue and she recommended that I go to a councilor about it. To get some therapy and some professional assistance. I would not be against getting professional help with my issues. However, under one circumstance. That is that the therapist is not some feminist trained accolade. The person would need to understand and acknowledge masculinity and men's issues.

They need to not try and get me to be more like a woman to help me. They need to help me embrace myself and all that I am. To embrace and accept my manhood and also accept/embrace their help as well. They need to not attempt to emasculate my person in order to help me with my issues. They need to accept that I be both vulnerable and also masculine. I am both vulnerable and a strong man. That my admitting vulnerability can be a strength and not a weakness.

I would not want to work with anyone that tried to brainwash me into being a feminist supporting idiot. I will only work with someone that understands men and my psychology. As well as someone that is not trying to help me by changing who I am as a person. Someone that will not make up BS about how this caused that or that caused this. Or to try to link my anxiety to being an MRA or anti-feminist. Or to being a person whom is in favor of the freedom philosophy.

As long as they do not use pseudio science and BS I will be more than happy to get assistance from a professional. I just would need to find one that I did find I could trust. One that does not try to change me and one that lets me be me. If I can find someone like that and my issues continue I will get professional help.

   

Women need to start helping to lessen the "empathy gap."

For those unaware there is a term going around the Interwebz and the manosphere called "the empathy gap." The idea that there is a gap between women and men when it comes to empathy. That women have their own selves as a primary. They have in-group preferences towards other women, but, lack empathy for what men go through. Which is something that one can see easily in this world. Thus the growing MGTOW and broader Men's Human Rights movements. 

The gap is real and one sees it a lot when they are a man. Women will seem empathetic at first, but, as soon as you need them to be the shoulder to lean on for you they will not care. They will rant about how you need to listen to their feelings and treat you like dirt. I have experienced this with pretty much any woman I have dated in the past. Tell them your needs and they do not give a fuck about you.

This is what has gotten me so considering going MGTOW and shrugging off women like the strike from "Atlas Shrugged." It is not easy, however, I like any man that likes women have to face my evolutionary psychology. That as a bisexual man I LOVE the opposite sex, LOVE in all capitals. It is not as some think MGTOW do not hate women. Many of us love women whom we have respect with and those NAWALT Unicorns when we find them. 

What we find disgusting is the way most women around treat most men around. With a lack of empathy for their issues. A lack of understanding what it means to be a man and what they go through in life. A lack of caring if a man is harmed, abused, emasculated, or otherwise treated like shit by women just for being a man. A lack of caring that men are considered monsters and women their victims. 

Men are not cared for when something horrible happens to them. One is not seen as fully human when you are a man. One sees it all the time; give someone a male victim and a female one only the female one will be thought of. Blame it on our Evo-Psychology that many women cling to their in group bias.Women need to start clinging to their evolved reason instead and help close the empathy gap with men. If they do not more and more men will say fuck you and just stop associating with women. 

 

Evo-Psychology is very real and explains a lot of things. To deny it is a modern day denial of human nature itself.

"Evolutionary psychology is a theoretical approach to psychology that attempts to explain useful mental and psychological traits—such as memory, perception, or language—as adaptations, i.e., as the functional products of natural selection."

Something becomes very clear the more you hear crazy ideas. That is that there is a vast swath of the population that is simply illiterate when it comes to human nature. Some people just need to cling to the bullshit idea that humans are blank slates and that evolutionary psychology is not accurate. People whom think rightfully so that creationism is bollocks actually treat the human brain like it has no link to the way we got here. Nor to our evolved past in general.

They utterly lack any idea of a logical conclusion on this matter. If we got to where we are through means of evolution in every other area of our body why would not our brain? Where else would our brain, any instincts, mating choices and so much more be from, but, evolution and biologically driven by evolutionary pressures. Including psychological adaptations; which come from that same evolved underwriting systems in male and female natures. As well as in human nature in general.

Evolutionary Psych is a very real science and not some BS excuse to separate women and men from each other. Male and female natures are different to each other, but, they are not opposites. They evolved to be complimentary, but, different and to have different sexual roles. Which through sexual dimorphism includes a great deal of what makes up the two genders and their sex roles. Males evolved to be females protectors, providers and traits that go with those roles.

This is why most men are the way they are and females have their own evolved traits as well. This is also where Gynoentrism and hypergamy comes from. It is what drives Social Justice Warriorism and ultimately the fucked up special snowflakes; especially the women. It is in turn men's natural nature to be protective and providing that helps push through feminism in the academia and the courts. What lets feminism pass all kinds of BS lies based on BS stories. Men want to believe women due to their hard-wiring.

Women too want to believe women based on their own female natures. Evolutionary psychology does not explain everything, but, it does explain a lot. The utter disregard of this science by so many of the manosphere claiming it is all cultural Marxism is inaccurate. What anti-feminists; whether Egalitarians or MGTOW, or what have you need to face is human nature. That what we need to do to deal with gynocentrism is to leverage our ability to reason and have self control. To make sure that we have things setup in a way in which we would adapt to a non-gynocentristic society.

I also see on the other hand some denying we have evolved adaptability, self-control, free-won't, free will, and/or any sense of reason. I find that just as disturbing as someone denying any other aspect of our psychology. Free will has evolved in our cognitive process just as much as instincts did. As long as you can chose not to listen to a desire. As long as you can have some sense of self-control and adapt to your environment you have a practical and reasonable version of free will. A non-magic brain biology form of free will.

Free Will is part of our Evolutionary Psychology and not against human nature

Earlier tonight I was listening to a podcast on YouTube from TL:DR about mating strategies, hypergamy, gynocentrism, female nature in general and male nature. As well as on how much is malleable or not. How much is changeable or not changeable? Or is there even anything to change? 

I found myself following along with these sorts of questions as I listened to the podcast. I actually have a controversial view on this topic. I do not think that male or female nature can change. Men are men and women are women. Some men and women have different types of brain wiring, but, overall we are what we are. However, that is a great thing because that includes the part of male and female nature known as free will. 

Men and women have the reality of that biologically evolved force called free will or as some would call it "reasonable self-control." We all have both evolved to have instincts in one part of our wiring and also the ability to adapt, and make decisions in that same evolutionary process. During the podcast it seemed to me that there was a continuing need to disprove free will. Or at least that is the way it seemed. It was more from the guest than TL;DR, but, it was coming through loud and clear.

They talked about if the nature was malleable or not, but, that is not something that matters. Our instincts could never change and free will/reason would still be there in that same evolutionary psychology. Evolutionary biology gives us a brain that is wired for some sense of adaptability. It is itself part of our male and female nature. The issues with most women is that they are not taught critical thinking and to reason like most men. Which means that girls grow up with instincts only and without working on ones ability to reason. 

It could also be that women do have to work harder to be as reasonable as a man. If so, this would be a fact of nature and of this same evolutionary psychology. What it does not do though is erase free will. It only means that women need to work twice as hard to be as reasonable as the average man. I find that the issue people have with evolutionary psychology about biological determinism is complete balderdash. Everything your brain is doing is doing something biologically your brain even if it was rewired is biologically changing. It is still a biological act. 

Our brain is our mind and it is us. Thus all this biological is 100% deterministic; as if fairly determined means something for sure will happen is again BS. The part of our biology which regulates reason and free will is there. One could even argue it is itself determined to be there as a biological and natural fact of human nature. So, where else would the things about us come from? Magic ether from the sky from some mystical Sky Daddy? No, from evolution by natural selection. Nowhere else!

Free will as we know it is real and must only be from one place. From our biology and nowhere else. So, what if biological determinism is real? Again, as long as free will is part of what is determined by biology. As long as we developed through evolution the least bit of self-control and the ability to choose we will be fine as a species. I know we have free will or at least choice. How? I could have chosen not to write this article and you chose not to read it. Or read it at a different time and do something else in this moment. That is all we need for the experience we call free will or choice to matter and be true!
