Humans are at least minimally self-interested OR DEAD--and human will isn't "free" for this necessary dichotomy....

How And Why Human Will Isn't, Cannot Be Perfectly "Free"
(Apollonian, 6 Mar 18)

Ken: I wanted to just follow-up a bit about the SERIOUS problem w. Buddhism as it tries to be both objective and subjective at same time, endorsing and pretending to a perfectly "free" human will.

For note the ABSOLUTE NECESSITY of human will for self-preservation which can NEVER be forgotten--human will is thus NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT "free" to be absolved of this absolute necessity of self-preservation. One can commit suicide, but that's the ONLY alternative: self-preservation OR DEATH. And again, note humanity can NEVER be free of this fearsome alternative and necessity of human will.

Thus human will must ALWAYS be sufficiently, minimally aware and attentive to this necessity of self-preservation, hence self-interest, which "self-interest" thus Christianity recognizes as the basis of "sin," never forget.

So I suspect this necessity of self-preservation and hence self-interest is what u're over-looking, imagining u can be "free" of this absolute necessity, overlooking the penalty of death which is sure and always the consequence of any such "freedom" of necessary, obligatory awareness. One, including Buddhists, cannot totally ignore this necessity for self-preservation and -interest.

Such is the necessary and OBVIOUS lack of "freedom" for humanity--to forgetting this absolute necessity for consciousness for self-preservation, hence self-interest. Thanks again for ur attn. and all ur outstanding efforts for preservation of humanity, including our dear white race. Take good care. A.
