When forced to decide between two choices, most people (including me!) will ask: how can I do both? Whereas an #essentialist would ask: which problem do I want?
Denying the trade off is a typical problem of an optimist like me. How do you do this? How do you decide which problem to choose? Tips?
(The philosophy here is rough, because I never finished this idea.)
In an #essentialist dimension, free will is subservient to inborn natures and natural characteristics. Living creaters are born good or bad, and no individual's action can change that. Essence trumps existence.
In an #existenialist dimension, existence trumps essence, and free will lets living things choose whether they are good, bad, chaotic, lawful, etcetera.
Brace yourself, I'm about to get a little metafictional.
