RE: What is Natural Law?
The subject of free will is ta big discussion, a not one I want to do right now. Suffice to say I used to believe it was a nonsensical idea. I was very in alignment with Sam Harris in his book on Free Will. I no longer believe him to be correct about that.
So you're a freewill convert? Do you perhaps have a link to the argument that convinced you?
I'd love to see it.
Either I consent to something or I don't. Seems objective to me.
Sounds like an OPINION to me. How do you propose Quantifying consent in other people? How can you be confident that your consent was not somehow subtly coerced?
Nowadays most societies are exploitative autocracies on Earth at the moment, but it wasn't always like that. If you're familiar with the Star Wars universe, we're in a period of time where the Empire is dominant, but these things ebb and flow.
Ok, so you have no plan? We just need to wait it out?
Mitigate warlords by educating your children about the importance of freedom and arming them.
Do you have some alternative solution that doesn't involve teaching children how to kill people?
I'll add the question, "Does Free Will exist?" to my list of pending videos to make.
It is not your opinion that I just said, "No," to you. The reasons behind why each individual gives consent to something is subjective, but the consent itself is not. It is not your responsibility to determine whether my consent has been manufactured from outside of myself, it is only your responsibility to respect it.
The rebound is not guaranteed, it requires work on the part of people who want freedom.
A willingness and knowledge of how to defend oneself is a requirement for a state of freedom. I don't believe it is a good idea to shield children from reality.
