      Maybe the entire debate about “free will” goes off the rails because the term itself is misleading. Nothing in human life is truly free...

      Bradskii is saying this to us all... “I defined free will in a way that makes it impossible, and since you’re not allowed to question my...

      The “you just dislike fate” line doesn’t address anything I’ve argued — it simply shifts the discussion from logic to psychology. My...

      You’re misunderstanding the point of the inward‑experience argument. It’s not “Gee, it feels obvious, so it must be true.” It’s that any...

      You’re treating “free will” as a single definition shared by both compatibilists and incompatibilists, but that’s simply not true. The...

      The OP from post number 1 sums this up like this... "Free will means uncaused choice. Choices are caused. Therefore free will doesn’t...

      I’ve read through the many arguments here — the philosophers, the theologians, the scientists, the authors, the videos, the historical...

      You’re trying to preserve rational evaluation while denying the agency required for it. If determinism is true, then “accepting...

      Calling the agent a “causal center” is not libertarian metaphysics. It’s compatibilism. Compatibilists hold that actions are caused —...

      You keep saying my beliefs are “inevitable” because of my nature — but that is the point. If determinism is true, then my openness...

      You’re not defending determinism — you’re defending a definition that makes your conclusion true by definition. If you define free will...
