Seconds of thought
I read the post about the duality in the Haredi world,
Do you think atheists who claim there is no free will and objective morality live in seconds when they act and are convinced of it just like we do? Is seconds the correct definition? Or maybe there is a better way to define this phenomenon?
If you happen to have written about this in one of your hundreds of posts then I would be happy to reference it (because I see that you remember them all in your references in other posts)
Thanks in advance.
It can be a state of secondness. But not because they experience it, since they know that this is their experience but claim that it is an illusion built into us. A legitimate claim that does not indicate secondness. Secondness is a state in which inside you know what is right but in consciousness you live according to a different position. Not every time we reject a position that we tend to, it is secondness.
I think moral atheists live in seconds because philosophically there is no valid morality without God. But if they reject morality as well, then there are no seconds here.
