If I'm really a greater consciousness, how come I can't experience any other human minds other than my current one? What makes the most sense to me is that every human is a similar creature. What applies to me should apply to every human. What if we are all the creations of someone else's mind? In that case, do we have free will, or are we just like scripted characters in a book or movie, who have no choices but just act out the part that was created for them?  |
It could just be that SR is wrong. But as Anagogy said, you have to experience it yourself. It's part of the definition
But in the end, what do you think is more important, whether or not you have free will, whether or not SR is right, or how you feel as you live your life?
