No. And the point I was trying to make had nothing to do with free will, but rather with the likelihood that there exists something beyond mere "scientific method" and the theory of evolution, that people seem to hold so dear. |
Okay, so he KNEW the future and yet he still had free will? How? I'd love for you to solve this, since philosophers for centuries have known there is no solution to this
"Scientific method." |

No what he's trying to say whenever you can't explain something that must mean god exists. He also doesn't like scientific method and evolution but I'm not sure what that has to do with free will. |

| I get that that's what he's trying to say, but his two thesis contradict each other, so he's going to need to deal with that at some point. You cannot have free will and also have the date of your death set. |

The most stupid thing about it is that article doesn't even confirm that he died on the date he foresaw! There's no mention of the actual date and the writer didn't even question the guy too far on it. There are many other missing details too, such as why exactly this man was "shakey". Was he in poor mental or physical health?
This story is no more of a coincidence than those moments where you think of someone you haven't spoken to for a long time and then they ring you that day. AlphaStarred should go see a psychic, because he's obviously a sucker for cold reading. |

Why not? Says who? |

If the date of your death is set that means the future is set, which means that whatever you do now cannot impact it, viz there is no free will.
Please go out and actually read some of the philosophy on this subject. There is a metric ton. |

| I have honestly never seen or met someone like AlphaStarred, excluding seeing someone like him on the TV. I have been quite sure from the beginning he is "trolling", but it's getting more apparent that's not the case. |

| At first I thought he had decided to make money by selling people Iboga and was going through an elaborate ploy to peddle it, but it's quickly become apparent that he's actually bat insane. |

It isn't the actual word in Korean, just an extremely popular euphemism. The language is rife with them, they are all about keeping "face", and will generally not use literal expressions in sexual situations. |
