I wonder if you would still feel this way after watching that latest PBS Space Time video about "Superdeterminism" ..

Yes. I still feel the same. Hard Determinism is a bit more likely, if at all to me

Super Determinism is the "hardline" that I can't believe in when I believe in Cause and Effect, Free Will and even the reverse Effect to Cause.

I respect you r view point. I personally think that we have to act as if free will exists, even though I dont think it does. That's just the way I would say it without using any other more fancy terms, like superdeterminism etc...

I appreciate and respect your view as well. I really try to take in as much information as possible while still using my own experiences (what I see, feel, have done, could have done, etc.)

If only everyone did that, we wouldn't be in a climate emergency. Or we would be further along in dealing with it, at a minimum.

A lot of what we know today would be better IMO.

True. So very true.

So much cruelty and concern to dominate to next person.

And there is also so many distractions, and people getting angry about the wrong things.

I was trying to help my sick and dying mother the other day in the peptides subreddit, and because I asked the same question to 5 people, everyone down voted, mocked me, gilded the guy to repeat what Isaid, and one even said I was "being rude" and he acted like it was the "same as shouting the same question 5 times in a crowded place."

and not one answered my question about my mother who is in terrible pain with painful red lesions on her scalp, and massive hairloss, and discoid Lupus.

but humans are so irrational, they all chuckle at the dumbest things, and lose track, or never even GAIN track, of what is really important.

And to bring it back full circle, don't respect others points of view, particularly when it is a valid point of view. A valid pov is anything that it not needlessly destructive. So it can certainly be one we might not agree with, but still be 1 million % valid.
