Can you choose to be moral or immoral? Can a moral man suddenly choose to be immoral and vice versa? Simply saying the 'feeling' of freewill is just an illusion is hardly going to turn our 'moral' world into chaos. Is morality sewn into the fabric of the universe? i.e. is their a universal morality, or are we making it up as we go along? Even if we can choose to be moral (which I doubt) by what yardstick are we to be judged?
Previously I believed I had freewill, now I don't. There has been no noticable corruption of my morals
The point of course is that whether or not freewill is a reality *is beside the point*, thinking freewill exists is simply a thought, and we can't choose our thoughts! Thinking freewill exists doen't make it so. And the reverse is true aswell . . .
