PS: i'm glad my parents don't actually believe i have some weird disorders like autism (this was a diagnosis i recieved at the age of 3, as said before). Despite a lot of problems i deal with, like difficulty making eye contact, inability to handle change, weird speech paterns and severe anxiety attacks, they believe that I don't have any mental condition, because they think that autistic people are stupid and narcisistic. They think so because people with autism are often treated like aliens and eventually become wicked. I am not a psychologist so I don't really know if those disorders are caused by a mental condition, but the test i took 11 years ago made me think a lot about myself. PPS: i also struggle with social Interactions sometimes: a month ago, i for no reason suddenly felt a huge amount of anxiety with my friends and asked to go home. PPPS: now, what's the relationship between autism, narcissism and stupidity?

No, of course not. I am saying that everyone should learn how to deal with their problems. That Is not laziness of course, that's lack of help. Laziness happens when, for example, you have eye problems and trouble reading, but that doesn't mean that you can quit school. Instead, try to solve your problem or find alternative paths.

As a catholic christian who really likes philosophy, I find your comment to be similar to the syllogisms used by the stoics.

I dislike some concepts of psychological diagnosis, not because it can sometimes be useful, but because it encourages people diagnosed with mental disorders to act like if they were aliens and free from the law. My parents agree with my opinion too: in fact, they told me that at the age of 3, after i took some tests, I got labeled with High functioning autism (Asperger's). They never told me that until now (I have recently celebrated my 14th birthday) and I'm glad that they always treated me like a normal human being: yeah, i had some psychological problems, like weird speech and extreme anxiety, but I fixed them with the help of my psychologist. On the right side, they often tell me that I am a genius, even though I acutally don't believe it. People who got labeled with autism usually are treated like wild beasts and eventually become wrathful and dishonest. PS: Who cares if I have autism or not after all. Nobody should care about that. If you have problems, don't use a label like autism as a pass just because you are too lazy and you don't want to fix them.

Half of the comments in this post are in this discussion XD

Then we should learn how to use emotions conscioslusly. For example: in a funeral, you obviously must cry, but when you do it, do it in a correct manner.

Maybe emotions (the human ones) are also part of the soul? I mean, the only emotion animals can have is fear, right?

Now that i think about that, if people with down syndrome or other impairments were actually mindless, they would act by istinct and not by empathy and emotion.

Like managing anxiety?

Are you saying that some animals have free will? You mean us?

The Spirit of God, i guess, but we really don't know what cognitive features should be considered "the soul".

Don't ants and bees have complex society structures, divisions of work and a monarchy government type? If they act instinctively, then the creation of a government Is a completely involuntary process.

If humans were created by God and not a product of evolution, then we must have an unknown feature that makes us different from animals.

If we really were like animals, who don't have the even to us misterious concept of free will, then we would, as said before, run mindlessly naked in the forests without a goal. But animals don't spend all their time running in the forests without a goal, therefore they have a primitive free will too. They even have primitive forms of the abilities humans have, they even have a primitive reasoning and primitive communication systems.

If the Matrix was true, then the film Matrix in this world was actually created by the people of the real life Matrix that maybe were created by another Matrix and so on

To quote a meme:

“Hypocrite that you are, for you trust the chemicals in your brain to tell you they are chemicals. All knowledge is ultimately based on that which we cannot prove. Will you fight? Or will you perish like a dog?”

Ok, from this discussion we discovered that:

1. free will is real
2. some actions of the body and of the brain are impossible for the mind to control
3. the mind, if smart enough, will believe at some point the absurd theory that free will is an illusion
4. this last statement will cause a paradox in which the mind uses its free will to deny its free will
5. the mind is so deep in the freedom of free will to the point of not being able to see it, like fish in water

In my religion, God is infinitely bigger than nothing and, in order to be comprehended by our primitive weak minds, became a human in the year 0 AD.

I understood that the brain works with chemical reactions, but there must be a cause of this chemical reactions. Maybe it's the soul causing the chemical reactions, like a man in a car.

I now think that the "scientists" who deny free will are just sadistic madmen who want to deny the obvious and make humans aleatory animals.

We should accept that we don't have full control on our brain. Maybe God created us this way because It was needed to. Maybe the human mind is just very weak and has difficulty controlling the brain and istincts like anxiety or mosquito hate, but very strong compared to the animal mind (the animal soul probably isn't real).

Yeah, i dislike this istinct of mindlessly killing mosquitoes. When i want to slap a mosquito, i try to do It using reason.

We realized that the lack of free will is an illusion the mind of the soul creates to explain the limited brain in the limited body.

Maybe going against istinct is an example of free will?

This story creates a cool concept: we can't pretend to be good if we have never fought evil. And i also dislike the concept that being a good person means NOT doing bad, rather than doing good.
