Freedom and Determinism. What if the much-vaunted dichotomy between
determinism and free will is really a fallacy? For can't free
will be a product of determinism? I mean, nature flourishes on both free
will and free spirit, and therefore can it not be said that both are determined
by the underlining drive to either wilful (instinctual) or spiritual freedom of
nature? Certainly there is, as I have sought to logically demonstrate in the
past, a distinction between somatic freedom as a product of natural determinism
and psychic freedom as a product of, well, a certain supernatural or cultural
determinism, with metachemistry and chemistry lining
up on the side of free will and free spirit, but physics and metaphysics lining
up on the side of free ego and free soul, the former pair effectively female
and the latter pair more usually male. Now if this much-vaunted dichotomy
between free will and determinism is, as I happen to think, a fallacy, then it
could be maintained that not only is freedom a product of determinism, but that
determinism works towards freedom, if in opposite gender ways. There is the
determinism of free soma, both instinctually and spiritually, on the one hand,
and the determinism of free psyche, both intellectually and emotionally, on the
other hand. For if females are fundamentally soma preceding and predominating
over psyche and males, by contrast, essentially psyche preceding and
preponderating over soma, then each gender's freedom is determined by contrary
factors which are not only incompatible but fated to war on one another until
the victory of one or the other is assured, whether intermittently or
permanently. Life is oriented towards freedom, but such freedom is determined
by gender and by the underlining interests of nature. Female freedom is more
metachemical (fiery) and chemical (watery) than either physical (vegetative) or
metaphysical (airy), and therefore females have certain metachemical and
chemical predilections, including the ugly periodic bleeding of menstruation
and a weak tendency towards tearfulness, really quite alien to males. But, by a
similar token, they are less physically and metaphysically free, or knowledgeable,
than males, whose bodies are more suited to strenuous physical and intellectual
behaviour. The somatic freedom of females in will and spirit does not imply a
suppleness of movement for the simple reason that their physiological
disposition hampers the kind of overall flexibility to which the male,
unaccustomed to pendulous breasts and amply protruding buttocks arching over
fleshy seductive thighs, is predisposed with his leaner overall frame. And such
a more uniform frame is no less the precondition of a degree of intellectual
freedom to which the female, except in rare - and usually physiologically
untypical - instances, is completely unsuited and, frankly, indisposed.
