Unsolved questions

As I read in the article of the 8 philosophical questions that we’ll never solve, and I think that’s actually true, while I was trying to understand what everything meant I actually found myself wondering how do they actually got to that question or that conclusion, some of them where questions that I honestly have never imagined or at least not at all, but there were specially 3 questions that I found really interesting. So here are those questions:

1)Why is there something rather nothing?

it refers on the question of why are we what we are and why do we act like we do and how things supposedly work here, but there’s actually not a real explanation of how the world that we know works this way. the answer is based on the anthropic principle „The notion that out particular universe appears the way it does by virtue of our presence as observers within it“ (G. Dvorsky) I actually do agree with these because it is actually true, we don’t know what’s going on at all but we at least know it WORKS just because we are here and we (or we think) we are working just fine.

2) Do we have free will?

It talks about the determinism and the indetermnism, of how are actions are control by causality or are just considered random effects, so that means that we actually don’t have free will at all?

And then the theories that our brain takes decisions even before we notice it but that’s still weird, just as the predeterminism… these ideas just make me think that there’s not a real explanation of why do we choose what we choose and it just makes me sad thinking that there’s a possibility that i don’t have free will!

3) Can you really experience anything objectively?

So here’s the one I find the most controversial, we actually experience everything ins a subjective way, for example going out with friends and trying to choose something to eat will be a problem because nobody has the same tastes on food somebody will prefer one thing rather than another and so on, that’s the way things happen in our lives, but the only way I found (with some help) to have an „objective“ experience is through numbers, math, science, measuring… but taking in account one of the article’s questions, what if numbers are not real? then we do have a big problem…

So here are they, the 3 questions that complicated my day making me think in other ways i never thought before, but, I think I prefer thinking my way instead of trying to understand what I will probably never solve.
