That would make me an oblivious fool to risk wasting my time upon such a presupposition. Or would that make me an opportunist? You could ask yourself, "what's the difference?"

The difference is that you're thinking too hard about it, just do what you want and feel is right ;)

jk though, I just wanted to say something. Keep thinking about things deeply, so your music can be just as deep :3

The depths of philosophy could never conclusively establish such a thing to the satisfaction of all.

Personally, since getting an early start means the creation of new music either way, I fail to see the downside!

I certainly do not see it as a waste of time, though waiting does have its own merits.

Fortunately, it is merely an allowance, not a mandate. Free will is far too important to be undermined.

My worldview is that the depths of anything could never conclusively establish such a thing to the satisfaction of all.

I like a lot of old music, and prefer to treat it as wine. Moreover, I think I'm far too much of a romantic to just write for new.

Free will doesn't exist tho, since for us to be able to have free will, we need choice, which is in fact impossible if the world is determent which many believe it is.

Does Newgrounds need a philosophy forum, or does a philosophy forum need Newgrounds?

Am I the sleeper, or merely part of someone else's dream? And, if the latter, will I disappear when they awaken?

Will you disappear when I awaken?

Saying that quantum mechanics have anything to do with free will is just wishful thinking ;)

But most processes in the mind are derivable to deterministic processes, so that doesn't even change a thing

tl;dr for the philo discussion: look up choice theory and terror management theory. easily the best explanation.

Sry bud, the deadline was days ago. You can't possibly expect an extension at this point.
