Intuition for Free Choice
Question
The Rabbi said that he has an intuition of choice.
I also have such an intuition, but I do not have an intuition that my choice is free, and that it is not simply the result of a deterministic weighing of the options.
So I wanted to ask: what exactly is your intuition that causes you to believe that your choice is free? That you could have chosen otherwise? That there are non-material parts within you? And so on.
Thank you
Answer
So then you do not have an intuition of choice. I do.
