effort over free-will

[Spinoza]...conatus, quo unaquoeque res in suo esse perseverare conatur, nihil est proeter ipsius rei actualem essentiam—that is, the endeavour [the effort] wherewith everything endeavours to persist in its own being is nothing but the actual essence of the thing itself. 

-Miguel de Unamuno,  Del sentimiento trágico de la vida en los hombres y en los pueblos (Tragic Sense of Life)

Maybe the question of moral responsibility does not hinge on the existence of free-will. What is central to any humanistic philosophy is how the endeavor(u)r, the effort, endures. To proceed along a course of action knowing there is no objective omniscient certainty. 

The calculus of choice, in the context of risk, is to model observable reality and give more weight to the vastly counterfactual and unobservable. To insist on absolute moral responsibility gets to the core of human nature; avoidance of self-loathing from timidity, akratic action, and feeling virtuous in freely criticizing others. 

Humans alight upon the determination of good vs. evil, right vs. wrong, ignorance vs. wisdom unconsciously. While the conscious mind wants to take control in decision-making, the brain is conditioned to follow this hyper-reflexive reaction long before the present choice is rendered. Consequently, these flinch responses may be the reality that we are not prepared to overcome.

Xena’s story is amazing! #Repost @xenaandjonny with @get_repost ・・・ It is believed that Xena was crated and deliberately starved. Her scar is a result of trying to escape. Never be ashamed of your scars.... It simply means you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you. #neverbeashamedofyourscars #strength #willtolive #everylifematters #survivor #pitbullawareness #jonnyandxenafoundation #jonnyandxena #bekind #bekindtoanimals #adoptdontshop #companiondog #esa #nonprofit #makeadifference https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs0Jr94H8Ho/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l9l39cf5u6au
