Perception of predeterminism: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

'''~~Feelings~~ of predeterminism''' can be described as a suppression of the feeling that one's decision-making processes and general cognitive faculties inherently possess "free will". This creates the sudden change in perspective that one's personal choices, physical actions, and individual personality traits have always been completely predetermined by prior causes and are therefore outside of conscious control.

Instead of feeling as if one's actions are dictated by free will, they begin to feel as if they arise from a complex set of internally stored, instantly decided, pre-programmed, and completely autonomous electrochemical responses to perceived sensory input. These sensations are often interpreted as having revealed the concepts of free will and choice as entirely illusory.
