I Want to Say Something

"Man can do as he wills, but he can't will as wills." -Schopenhauer

“If I hadn’t spent so much time studying Earthlings,” said the Tralfamadorian, “I wouldn’t have any idea what was meant by ‘free will.’ I’ve visited thirty-one inhabited planets in the universe, and I have studied reports on one hundred more. Only on Earth is there any talk of free will.”

- Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-five

“You know what you can do with free will?” said Prince.
“No,” said Trout.
“You can stuff it up your ass,” said Prince.

- Kurt Vonnegut, Timequake

the tralfamadorians experience time a spacial dimension tho, makes an idea of free will obsolete

@MerryMilkshake That is why they find it all connected — a cause/s for every effect. No wonder why free will is an idea very alien to them.

I wonder what compelled you to write that?

@Frank52 Dunno. It was predestined, I guess 😂😬😬
