RE: The Philosophy Of Free Will - Rules for Critical Thinking And For Arguing Intelligently
P D OUSPENSKY Strange Life of Ivan Osokin, 1971 Strange Life of Ivan Osokin (3366) by P D Ouspensky
"Ivan Osokin is a disillusioned young man whose self-inflicted failures have left him without prospects and yearning to return to his boyhood so that he may avoid his past mistakes, go to university, and get the girl. A time machine won't help as that would send him back as the man he is now, so instead he invokes a magical smokescreen to return him to his boyhood self but with his adult memories intact. Armed with this foreknowledge he resolves to put things right, but it is not so easy for people to change their ways as this thought-provoking inquiry into determinism versus free will shows."
Thats so romantic! I wish I could do the same, go back and put things right with the knowledge and experience I have now. I am not sure how this could work out though.
I take the advice as below instead.
You might not find it quite as romantic if you read the book, lol.
I am curious enough to find out ! Thank you ....
