Breaking Bad and Free Will Absolutely. If we parse out what character or
personality means, we might come to the idea that it's a forcing structure
comprised of the cumulative consequences of past decisions. If one's "identity"
is (and has been) quasi-stable around, say, American Football, then any tiny
little choice like "Hey let's go hiking this weekend." ... "No, I'm going to a
Super Bowl party." will subtly guide one's trajectory through time and
space.The more one identifies with some (set of) narrative(s), the less free
will one has.On 1/25/24 13:34, Jochen Fromm wrote:> Could you say that a strong
character or personality reduce our free will too, because they restrict our
