A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

I agree. I just don't think the answer to the question of free will alters (or should alter) our behaviors.

Although, internally it can help, as famously described by Einstein - there's a helpful translation lower in the page, but it's interesting to hear his voice whether or not you understand German. As a way of internalizing how people treat you, it's sweet. I don't buy it (the philosophy) for a second, but still.

I tend to agree, but the kind of people who believe it is just and good to punish others (as opposed to rehabilitate or something) tend to disagree with us.
