> I don't understand why people have such a weird problem reconciling the brain with the mind. You do understand, you said it yourself! Because they have no free will to not have the problem! I can't blame you though. You had no choice. BTW,you are the first person I know who admits being a Compatibilist. I don't understand how you can rationally take that position.

>BTW,you are the first person I know who admits being a Compatibilist. Not really - I'm determinist, but I just know the difference between "Things are technically predetermined" and "I'm being forced to do something, like at gunpoint." As in, it's not demoralizing because that makes no sense. I like it when my brain makes a decision, and I don't care that my brain isn't pulling decisions magically from a mysterious dimension full of floaty ghosts.
