my college courses are on philosophy and history.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Philosophy (from Greek , \"philosophia\", literally \"love of wisdom\") is the study of general and fundamental problems concerning matters such as existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. The term was probably coined by Pythagoras (c. 570\u2013495 BCE). Philosophical methods include questioning, critical discussion, rational argument, and systematic presentation. Classic philosophical questions include: Is it possible to know anything and to prove it? What is most real? Philosophers also pose more practical and concrete questions such as: Is there a best way to live? Is it better to be just or unjust (if one can get away with it)? Do humans have free will? Historically, \"philosophy\" encompassed any body of knowledge. From the time of Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle to the 19th century, \"natural philosophy\" encompassed astronomy, medicine, and physics. For example, Newton's 1687 \"Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy\" later became classified as a book of physics. In the 19th century, the growth of modern research universities led academic philosophy and other disciplines to professionalize and specialize. In the modern era, some investigations that were traditionally part of philosophy became separate academic disciplines, including psychology, sociology, linguistics, and economics.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I should have studied philsophy it would be very interesting to learn about general and fundamentals problems about existence and knowledge and the mind and reason..ugh just so interesting!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "There are many different schools of philosophical thought.  A lot of different views on how the world works"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I know, I love the questions they ask in philosophy like What is real?

"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I know right and trying to answer them will lead to more questions ha? Like do people really have free will?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yes I know that there is a lot of debate over the years about how much free will there is in life"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "It has been asked for a long time, in 570-495 BCE the Pythagoras that is when they came up with the name Philsophy"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I do am sure that people have free will.  I generally do not buy into pre-determination"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I totally agree, I think pre-determination is a way to lessen responsibility of our actions. We are definitely able to freely choose between different possibilities"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yeah I also have considered the who pre-determination thing as a \"get out of jail free\" card.
