That's a point without a distinction. It's like saying we can choose to go to Cleveland, but once we're there, we're no longer choosing to go there. So what?
Just like before, you are again combining two separate things and putting them together as if they are one. What part of "deciding to go to Cleveland" and "actually going to Cleveland" don't you understand?You can make a decision to go to Cleveland, that's one thing. Next, since you are now going to Cleveland, you cannot choose to go to Chicago no matter how hard you try. If you end up in Chicago, then you were never going to Cleveland the whole time.
Again, I fail to see any meaningful distinction. You choose to win/lose/whatever, then you win/lose/whatever, then you "experience" the winning/losing/whatever. How is this not still choosing?
See, you just did exactly what I explained in my point. You didn't choose to not see and understand my point, you simply didn't see my point. I'll run it by you again using you as an example. I never said anything about choosing to win, nor did I say choosing to lose was my point. The experience of losing a game was the point. You can't experience losing if haven't lost the game. You didn't choose to fail to see any meaningful distinction, you just failed to see any meaningful distinction.
If I choose to learn astro-physics, I can. If you choose to learn it from me, you can.
So I choose to learn astronauts physics from you, and I didn't learn it. I didn't choose to not learn it, I simply didn't learn it.
You don't seem to be succeeding in your argument against choice, here.
Actually I did succeed.
You have to make the choice to fulfill the choice, to fulfill the choice. OK ... So what?
Wrong. You made the choice to fulfill something, but it wasn't the choice that decided whether or not you fulfilled it. You clearly proved my point above.
You're still choosing how you're going to experience existence, based on how you already understand that experience, and in such a way as to further support that understanding.
And here it is just like you explained. Your choice had no bearing how or what you actually experience.
Our brains are genetically structures to make us "feel" certain ways in response to certain kinds of stimuli. But WE CAN CHOOSE, through self-awareness, how we cognate those experiences, and how we want to cognate (experience) them in the future.
See, we cannot choose to our feelings.
Here's an example
Scenario 1:
I chose to bet $1000 on a horse race. The horse I betted on didn't win resulting in me losing my money. Now I'm feeling angry.
Now explain to me why I'm angry because of choosing to be angry.
