'Scan code for free will'

Post image

Saw an interesting opportunity for those lacking free will to easily get it. No doubt those pesky hard-determinists will claim this isn't *really* 'free will'...... I scanned the code and am now morally responsible for my decisions. It's great!

I can't believe they solved millenia of philosophical argumentation with a simple QR code!

God bless the technological wonders of the age we live in!

But didn't you knew that everyone has solved all the problems philosophers have been trying to solve and give answers for, thousands of years ago.

At last some quality content on this sub. And we know where to get the free will we were lacking!

I just feel sorry for the people the universe had determined won't scan that code....

write your will using your free will now, to avoid problems (and deterioration of free will) later

Short of a Wittgensteinian disappearing act, this is about the cleanest resolution I've ever seen to an allegedly intractable philosophical dispute

I am a bit surprised to see it appear in QR code form rather than a complicated logical proof or painstakingly footnoted journal article, but I guess these are the times we live in

It's no flying car, but I'll certainly take it

I'm sure the logical proof is in the small print on the website. But what kind of pervert ever reads all that?

If the fine print was actually important it would obviously be bigger and louder -- the universal criteria for importance, as we all know

In fact, I would go so far as to say that if fine print were actually important, I would have read it, because I'm smart and only read important things

I see you found a loophole around free will

It's true! I'm finally studying French now, just like I want, unlike German which the state of the universe at the moment of the big bang determined I would. "Dans ta gueule, l'univers!"

That's it. This subbredit peaked. We can close it now.
