What Are the Three Types of Drives That Determine Change Direction?

In summary, there are three types of drives that determine the direction of changes: the "dead end" drive without choice, the "automatic" drive with only one choice, and the "free will" drive with more than one choice. It is argued that the free will drive is the only one that can truly make changes, as there is always more than one choice in every situation, according to the principles of quantum mechanics. The concept of "us" having choices is called into question, as we may be simply driven by the laws of nature.

there are three types of drives that determinate the direction of changes:
-"dead end" (impossible) drive (drive without choice)
-"automatic" (self driven) drive (drive with only one choice)
-"free will" drive (drive with more than one choice)

Freewill drive is the only drive i see making changes. Isn't there always more then one choice in every situation?

when you drop a pen from a height it won't write a poem cause it has no such choice. in fact it can only hit the ground after a short free fall.but also if you leave the pen on the desk it cannot went away but it has to wait until next time - the time when you get it...

or so...

ddr: yes it can. As far as QM is concerned, it can. You can only make a probabilistic statement, and then your observation collapses the waveforms into a single instance.

Aren't we all forgetting the Great Machine? We're just a bigass VW bus headed toward a cliff.

i can't see the difference between these two idea, if you have only one choice, you have no choice.

Actualy, like FZ partially mentioned, according to QM
nature always has infinite choices according to its
fundumental laws. As for "us", "we" seem to have none,
because "us" is meaningless.

Live long and prosper.
 

FAQ: What Are the Three Types of Drives That Determine Change Direction?

What are the three types of drives that determine change direction?

The three types of drives that determine change direction are biological, sociocultural, and technological drives.

What is a biological drive?

A biological drive is an innate, instinctual urge or motivation to fulfill a basic physical need, such as hunger, thirst, or reproduction.

What is a sociocultural drive?

A sociocultural drive is a learned or socially constructed motivation to conform to societal norms, values, and expectations, such as seeking approval or avoiding social disapproval.

What is a technological drive?

A technological drive is a motivation to adopt new technologies and innovations, often driven by the desire for convenience, efficiency, or status.

How do these drives interact to determine change direction?

These drives do not act in isolation, but rather interact and influence each other to determine the direction of change. For example, a biological drive for survival may lead to the adoption of new technologies, which in turn can shape sociocultural norms and behaviors.
