I think I accidentally read/listened to this week‘s chapter last week, but I need to double check for sure. How is everyone doing so far this week?

kspenmoll I am behind, having trouble focusing- 3d

AlaSkaat I am couple chapters behind! With my twins funeral and cremation and developing a womb infection!!! It‘s been the hardest past 8 weeks of my life. Life always gets in the way of our book discussions! I‘d love to finish this one but might be a little late 6h

On this, the most stressful day (and probably week) of the year, how are you doing? Everyone getting some down time and taking care of themselves?

AlaSkaat Sorry I‘m a couple chapters behind! It‘s been such a rough month. I‘m going to have time to rest this weekend so I‘ll catch up then!! 1w

GingerAntics @AlaSkaat I‘m not so sure about that now. We just have to conclusion, but it may have to wait a few weeks. We‘ll see what everyone says. 1w

ravenlee I‘ve been having one of the most difficult months of my life…and then the election happened. Sorry I haven‘t been present for the read. 1w

GingerAntics @ravenlee it‘s definitely been a month or so! That election certainly didn‘t help anything. Ugh! I‘m keep hoping there is some kind of irregularity found or something (ANYthing), but I know there won‘t be. It‘s just so hard to give up on hope. 1w

kspenmoll @ravenlee I have been in & out myself & behind in reading. Sending you hugs- & hope that despite the election, your personal life gets better. 💖 6d

kspenmoll I am behind like everyone else… 6d

GingerAntics It‘s a good time to be behind. I‘m glad we scheduled specifically to have wiggle room. We will get through this together. 4d

kspenmoll No it would not. Harris says a few things such as “The urge for retribution depends on our not seeing underlying causes of human behavior.”(55) 3d

I have to say, this one made me chuckle. It would be fun, wouldn‘t it?

This one really made me stop and think for a minute… or 20… I even had to look up the actual definition of psychopath.

kspenmoll Yes I think there can be psychopaths- lack of free will does not negate behavior that hurts/harms society. 3d

Here we go, kids. I‘m hoping our sparking conversations can distract me today, but I‘m thinking I‘m going to pull a teenager today and just have my headphones on all bleeding day?!

kspenmoll Keep those headphones on! 6d

kspenmoll I have to read the chapter on Moral Responsibility- behind 6d

GingerAntics @kspenmoll eh, the chapters aren‘t too involved, so no biggie. Headphones on, smutty, escapist books on repeat, animal crossing in front of my face. I‘m still in the hide and deny stage, I think. 4d

Sorry guys! I‘m sucking at life right now. I will post later today. I need anything to distract me from the dramatic wait to find it if I need to have my tubes tied and start putting in applications for political asylum.

Cuilin It‘s going to be a rough few days. Hang in there. 💗 2w

CBee Sending love to you - I totally understand 😥😥 2w

GingerAntics @Cuilin @CBee I‘m trying to take it one step at a time. Step 1: no more 🤬🤬🤬ing political ads. I‘ve started singing Dave Barnes‘s Little Lies over them. 2w

GingerAntics UPDATE: all of the places I need to call about getting my tubes tied before January doesn‘t open until 9. Seriously people? I have stuff to do today and you are only the beginning. 1w

GingerAntics @Cuilin it ended SO quickly! It was terrifying. It was like a replay of 2016… just worse! 1w

kspenmoll @GingerAntics @Cuilin We are in the same place…love & community- I love the singing of Little Lies- we are not watching news right now. 6d

GingerAntics @kspenmoll girl, I am avoiding the news like the bleeding plague! Half of it is just “who knew America was so sexist and racist?” I just want to bang my head on the wall and run away to my animal crossing island. 4d

I felt like the point he made about reading was perfect for us.

kspenmoll Read to learn, to grow, to change, to expose myself to other‘s perspectives & ideas, to escape! 6d

GingerAntics @kspenmoll girl, I am still entirely in the escapism zone! What makes you choose to read for those purposes, though. Maybe a better answer, what makes you choose to read at all? 4d

Sorry, guys. I had these ready to go on my phone, then I fell asleep for the rest of the weekend. I hope everyone‘s Monday is going well.

GingerAntics Oh, the stories I have about being told how to control my thoughts. Of course, the beyond trite idea of prayer as a means to control one‘s mind. More like, allowing the person giving the advice to control one‘s mind. 🙄 3w

kspenmoll Yes, societies institutions, families, etc. especially when young,pass down their beliefs as written in stone. 6d

GingerAntics @kspenmoll 100%! It‘s actually terrifying to see the amount of indoctrination small children face on a daily basis. No one calls it that, though, until the beliefs being indoctrinated disagree with those of the parents‘ beliefs. 4d

What choices do you really have?
#FreeWill #SamHarris #Philosophy #AdventuresInPhilosophy #DeadPhilosophersSociety
@TheBookHippie @ravenlee @JaclynW @RavenLovelyReads @AlaSkaat @Chrissyreadit @kspenmoll @bnp

kspenmoll Again, not sure I fully grasp Harris‘s take on free will but given the state of our country at the moment, I have to think that while I may have no free will in some areas with the coming president, I have to hope I can protest & act freely in ways I can - 6d

GingerAntics @kspenmoll I‘m sorry, but I just do not believe that some people are just hard wired to vote for evil and the downfall of a nation. I‘m not. Choices have been made here, and those choices could have been something else. I feel like we need Harris to give us a very clear definition of “free will” as he is using it in this text. 4d
