GENIUS FORUMS

Found this quite interesting.

There are two videos that kind of support each other.
I think the experiment was really tricky. Was it kind of hypnosis?
Or environment is really that powerful? Is there free will?

I didn't think the person's commentary was very coherent.

For example:

We really can’t say anything about the source of our thoughts or our decisions, whether we have free will in them, or whether our environment turns out to be completely determining our thoughts.

But we can. We can say for certain that our environment (all that is not ourselves) is in fact completely determining us and everything we do.

All things must have a cause, and there is no cause of us other than that which is not us.

Yes.

Four factors
Each created being is determined by four factors:

1. Man cannot change his essence.

2. He cannot change the laws according to which his essence gets transformed.

3. He cannot change the laws of transformation of his inner properties as a result of the outer influence.

4. The surroundings, which man totally depends on, can be changed!

Being able to influence his surroundings now, man determines his future state. The only factors his surroundings can affect are the speed and the quality of man’s advancement. He may either live through pain, fear, anguish and endless bloody conflicts along the way or move forward quietly and comfortably, because man himself aspires to the goal.
