However, I still don't understand why someone would cling to the idea of destiny when they can equally justify pursuing that path out of desire, passion, necessity, or obligation, and if none of those four are felt strongly enough to justify the goal, then that person is simply failing to acknowledge that they do have enough personal agency to simply not pursue that goal. These people are generally more reasonable than those who think that, because the universe might be deterministic, nothing they do matters at all. What you said was interesting to read and think about, and your mention of the spiritual connotations of words like fate and destiny made me think about the side of the spectrum opposite of people who indulge in pessimism as a response to determinism: people who attach themselves to a path because they believe it's their destiny (such as pursuing a specific career or surpassing a monumental challenge). Thanks for triggering this ramble I think I was able to put some things into words better than I have in the past, and that’s always a delight )ĭeterministic is certainly a much better encompassing term for the idea of fate than fate due to connotation, it just hadn't come to mind, and I totally get what you mean by the ending paragraph, it happens to me a ton when my friends bring up a topic I've thought about for a while, and it's wonderful suddenly being able to fluidly express my thoughts better than I even understood them to myself. In fact I think one could describe personal agency as “free will” but we have attributed so much more meaning (in absolutist fashion oftentimes) to that term that I think makes it seem incompatible at first glance if one assumes a human body and mind in its base constituents is a deterministic system. Finding that the underlying mechanics conflict with centuries of philosophical discussion of what it means to be on a surface level doesn’t change that. It changes nothing, we remain human, our subjective experience is real and tangible to us. I think I’m general for most this rationale is also hard to also accept off the back of suddenly considering every action we take is just part of an intricate falling of the domino. Meaning is a abstract concept created by humans, we own that along with all the other labels we create to describe the world and communicate those descriptions with each-other. At the end of the day though I think it’s a flawed conclusion to think any of that means that life is now meaningless. The existential questions the realization brings is too much for many to handle and accept so frankly I rarely talk about this seriously except with my closest and most open minded confidants. So in the end it truly shouldn’t change anything, we still work the same as we did before buying into the idea. But it’s not, because knowing on that level and extrapolating the data for such a purpose is well beyond our current capabilities. If everything was knowable every action one would take in any situation would be predictable. I just think at a base level if we could know and detect everything we would see that the world is deterministic.Īlso that humans are biological machines beholden to cause and effect. Comment on your partner’s paper.I don’t personally like using words like destiny or fate as people tend to attach religious or spiritual connotation to them.

The research may mean that movies like Jurassic Park got it wrong. He now has an idea of what the voice box muscles looked like. The shape of this means it probably made bird-like sounds.Ī dinosaur researcher in Japan did many tests on the shape of the fossilized voice box. The fossil has an image of the ankylosaur's voice box. Scientists examined a rare, 78-million-year-old fossil from a dinosaur called an ankylosaur. A new discovery gives us a better idea of what dinosaurs sounded like. Movies show dinosaurs making all kinds of roars and screams, but these are guesses, not real. We don't really know what they sounded like.
