Hello po Ma'am Zosa, have you watched Black Mirror? AHHAHAHA feel ko gustong gusto mo yung show na yan, so I will be using an episode from Black Mirror to explain my answer!

Bandersnatch, the special interactive episode of Netflix's Black Mirror is a prime source of discourse for free will and determinism. Bandersnatch basically follows a plot of a young man struggling with mental health as he tries to keep up with his game design career, but the plot twist? You control the actions of the main character.

Instead of the main character entertaining you with his decisions, you are able to make decisions for him. Be it the cereal he wants or whether or not he does drugs– the decisions that you make for him have an impact on how the story ends. Some decisions that you make can end up having consequences, or it could reward you. You could end up with a successful career, or someone ends up dying. For some of these decisions, it's very clear which one is good and which one is bad. So if you choose the bad one, edi you're doing evil knowingly, masama kang tao teh. Minsan nakakapressure may time limit eh (capricious freedom XD)

However, some decisions are not clear, you may not be able to see right away that this small decision will lead to something catastrophic. For example, simply choosing to board the train may cause the death of the main character. Paano ko ba yun malaman ?!?! So edi di ko sinadya! masama ba akong tao diyan?! In the end, intention talaga ang determining factor on wheteh

But midway through the episode, the main character starts to realize that he isn't in control and starts to become sentient. This shows na may emotional freedom siya, because naging anxious siya because of that! Pero anyway, even if he has the "illusion" of choice, he actually doesn't. WE are the ones controlling him. This is where determinism enters the chat. Everything is predetermined na. Pero not by us. We don't have control, and in this episode, determinism talaga ang winner dito. No matter what choice we make, we don't actually have free will, because the possibilities are limited to what is predetermined by the programmers of this episode– OA, free pa rin tayo! Sabi kasi ni Jean Paul Sartre "Freedom is what you do with what's been given to you." so tayo ang may mga choices, so meaning may freedom kita! Si main character wala lol

So! Determinism, free will, chu chu kineme wala tayong control bla bla bla, pero sa totoo lang, may pwede tayong gawin: wag na natin isipin ng masyado. HAHAHHA MAY FREE WILL NAMAN TAYO MAGPAHINGA NA TAYO PLS SO Hayan na ang end ng ating movie review, hope you enjoyed, like and subscribe para sa ating next episode! Byee ^0^

Ugh, palagi nalang nagiging kalaban si Free Will at determinism, pero sa totoo lang? Mag-asawa sila. Nag-destination wedding sila. Nag-honeymoon pa nga. At may anak na sila! Let me introduce you to their eldest child: Compatibilism. (Nickname niya lang yan, yung full government name niya ay Soft Determinism, ginamit lang kapag galit si Free Will sakanya.)

Si Compatibilism, kamukha niya yung tatay niya (Determinism) pero may puso siya gaya ng mama niya (Free Will). Sabi kasi nila masyadong stricy yung tatay niya, buti nalang di siya gumaya sakanya. Yung tatay niya kasi palagi niyang sinasabi "Okay nak, kunin ko yung iPad mo, pero dahil caused na lahat ng events, di mo ako masisi." o parang "Ih, okay lang naman na racist kaibigan mo, ganyan lang talaga sa lugar nila at sa upbringing niya." which is medyo…. questionable parenting tactics. Tapos yung nanay naman niya, medyo… magulo rin pero her heart is in the right place! Minsan sasabihin niya kay compatibilism na "Nak gusto mo magpa-Enchanted Kingdom?" pero may klase siya sa araw niya. Napaka-random niya minsan.

Kaya si compatibilism, he's a perfect anak. Parang he learned from his parents mistakes but also took on some of their good qualities. Kung may gusto siya, gawin niya, pero within reason. Pero if ever may ginawa siyang mali, he's willing to take responsibility and learn from it naman. May mga bagay naman na outside of his control, pero kayang kaya pa rin.

Meron din kulit na Tito si compatibilism (si indeterminism), at may mga cousins pa yan (rational freedom, political freedom, social freedom, nakalimutan ko na ung iba andami nila abroad pa ung isa) pero hindi na natin sila ididiscuss ngayon, sa next nalang na family reunion…so wag na wag mo isipin na magkalaban si free will at determinism! Ang cute nila kaya!
