An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.
Oh Wise Metafilter
I’ve been posting on ask.metafilter.com since Feb 28th, 2005.
I’ve asked 20 questions and have posted 166 answers during that time. There really is no rhyme or reason to the postings. I answer when I feel I have insight and I ask questions when I am either to lazy to try and figure it out myself or just have no earthly clue were to look for the answers.
A few days ago I read a question on that site that delt with the idea Free Will (or our lack there of) and it reminded me of a question that has bugged me since I’ve consciously started contemplating what exactly my beliefs are and how I came to believe them.
Is belief a volunatry action, an involuntary action or a mixture of both?
If you would like to read the question in depth and read the metafites responses here is the direct link. (I’ll also be posting the best responses locally)
Now on a lighter note… if you have time, here are a few of my favorite posts at Ask.Metafilter
