      Only if you assume a deterministic materialism is this statement supportable, and it seems to miss the critical element in that the...

      Fervent replied to the thread Free will and determinism.
      You seem to be confused as to how I'm using "irrational" since I'm speaking of determination by the laws of nature, in which case the...

      So, you do think you're standing on an Archimedian Point, then? ......................... I don't see how. No, here's what I really...

      Nope, not if your decisions are ends generated by irrational priors. The why you do it is nothing more than because some chemical and...

      This is one of the silliest arguments I've ever seen. And it seems rather immaterial to your larger argument, since becoming convinced...

      You're playing both sides of the field here. You claim that our decisions, including what we come to believe, is entirely decided by...

      Extremism? I suppose one might say that, but it's simply a fact. Earthly kingdoms govern by using violence, whether they are ostensibly...
