In my opinion, yes.

An apple will ALWAYS fall to the ground if you drop it.
0 exceptions.

Your brain is also made out of the same particles as that apple, it will also follow the same laws of physics as that apple.

I don't think so, some things might be but people have the option to mame choices & I'd like to think that those choices arnt always predetermined.

No.

It doesn't make a diffrence

Sometimes, sometimes not. Logically speaking life is what you make of it but sometimes it's not your fault. It's not your fault for going through abuse for example and sometimes there was nothing you could do about it. And some people like Funeralcry were always going to be suicidal. Nothing would change that.

The answer varies from person to person or rather from situation to situation.

I don't think life is predetermined like a film/movie.

If thats the case it raises the point whether free choice exist and that you cant blame people for anything since their destiny is predetermined

How would we even know if everything is predetermined or not?

 

[CH349]

There are laws of physics and biology and chemistry that are predetermined.

As of the choices we make in our world, some say our brain already predetermined those choices and our contiousness is just a game our brain plays. Others believe in making their own choices and their own control.

Who knows.

I've always wondered this as well. Honestly, I'm not sure. I guess there is an element of fate and destiny, and that some things are predetermined, but you also have a certain degree of free will. But what if, even with your free will, you were going to reach your eventual fate anyways? It's such an interesting topic. It's like a chicken and the egg situation

Also, what about other people? Other people and their choices affect our lives as well. Everything is a butterfly effect imo

How would we even know if everything is predetermined or not?

I know right, how would we even know?

Nope, I don't believe determinism has been proven, in fact quite the opposite

 

[sserafim]

Nope, I don't believe determinism has been proven, in fact quite the opposite

Wdym by that? Has free will been proven?

 

[carac]

Wdym? Has free will been proven?

No I mean that scientific enquiry to prove determinism resulted in the opposite, re heisenburgs uncertainty principle

 

[FrostedHoax]

I believe that a large portion of our lives are somewhat predetermined but that we still have some level of control over the choices we make and the actions we perform.
