关于“自由意志”与“财务自由”的胡思乱想
Zhen says: do you know what's the free will?
Edward says: people can choose their own destiny, what people are like, it depends on what they choose. There are various different ways to describe it, but broadly it means how people act is not similar a product of circumstances or fate but people act as independent cause agent.
Zhen says: is any relationship between financial free and free will?
Edward says: ah that sounds really odd, especially for a philosopher, I don't understand really.
Zhen says: I argued with my friend that if you are financial free, it can be helpful to your free will, is that ok?
Edward says: ah, I suppose, you could argue the opposite, that finance makes people less free
Zhen says: but I think when you needn't worry about your basic requirement, such as food, shuttles, etc, you can be more free to purse you dream, choose the destiny or the life you like, but how can I argue the opposite?
Edward says: ah, I’d say maybe financial considerations will always limit people's scope for acting and make them feel always afraid
Zhen says: but here I mention financially free means you needn't to worry about the financial problem, so there is no need consider financial situation, then you can be more freely to chase you will? so if it financially free, it is better for your free will? but how can you argue the opposite?
Edward says: ah, I think that is correct, umm, I am not sure how to argue the opposite in that case.
