Well I can only assume by "X is X" you do not mean to invoke the law of identity, in which case this is an odd usage of the term, and if you do, that means you are asking why a subject has it's predicate, akin to asking: "Why is a lawyer a person qualified and authorized to practice law?" Which sure, we can answer, and it would be "They go to school, 'pass the bar', etc, etc." It would be nonsensical to ask, "well why do they want to pass the bar, etc, etc?" which is exactly what you're doing.
and you answer with, "Because X is X," then you are in fact implying the presupposition of the question.
Well look at the answer in the example I gave. A presupposition of the example question is that there are certain tasks to do to be qualified to be a lawyer. The answer pertaining to going to school, passing the bar, are implying that presupposition of the question. Hence, it is answered.
This is a trivial tautology, proving nothing, clarifying nothing. This is what you have done repeatedly.
A rhetorical tautology should not be confused with a tautology in propositional logic, so I take you to mean in the rhetorical sense. In that case, that questions have presuppositions and that to answer a why question you must give statements that imply the presupposition, is no tautology. A tautology is a logical argument constructed in such a way by repeating the same concept or assertion using different phrasing or terminology, which is what you were accusing my answer of. So perhaps you mean my answer is a tautology, which, as explained above, is only due to the nature of your nonsensical question. If my answer is a tautology it is because your question is one as well, which it is.
You first asked why we have free will now per refutation #3. I answered. You then wanted to ask why we have decision making ability on earth. That is like a 5 year old's mind set when asking questions. It's almost as if you would ask, "well why on earth?" next...
So yes, technically, you have answered my question. But you have not answered it in earnest and we are done.
You are being so dishonest about this whole discussion. First, you go to earths end to say I didn't answer your question. After my technical explanation of how I answered your question, you now say I did answer your question, though not sincerely..!!??.. Are you kidding me?? If I wasn't sincere I wouldn't take the time to even go through all of this with you. Based on your refusal to reply to my answer and the way you're shutting down the conversation only shows how much of an understanding you lack of rational discourse. You are so closed minded as to even step out of your bubble and evaluate your question to see if something is wrong with it.
Please don't reply to me in the future as you are on my ignore list and you will only confuse other participants.
No skin off my back. It's not like people are going to want to discuss anything with you anyway from the way you act.
