Choosing what to will means the same as choosing your preferences. But you cannot do that, because you must have preferences in order to choose anything. And those preferences you must have chosen by earlier preferences and so on. The infinite regress is here. Therefore you cannot choose what to will.Pertti Ruismäki– Pertti Ruismäki2023-02-20 05:28:09 +00:00Commented Feb 20, 2023 at 5:28

Besides, what to will is not among what to do by definition, not by assumption. Willing is mental, doing is physical. Willing is theory, doing is practice. Willing is personal, doing is observable by others.Pertti Ruismäki– Pertti Ruismäki2023-02-20 05:34:04 +00:00Commented Feb 20, 2023 at 5:34

1@NikosM. That would be re-arranging and re-prioritizing your reasons for choosing your actions, revising your action plans. The ultimate goals of survival, reproduction and general well-being cannot be edited.Pertti Ruismäki– Pertti Ruismäki2023-02-20 09:18:13 +00:00Commented Feb 20, 2023 at 9:18

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. philosophy-of-science), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
