The biggest problem I see with this is that is assumes something not in evidence - that the concept of 'freedom' actually means anything, ever meant anything, or could possibly ever mean anything. But then, that is true of nearly everything people believe in; self-deception is, IMAO, the primary nature of the human brain.
- Infernal 10y agoI would argue that far from the concept of 'freedom' not meaning anything, it means many things - it's heavily overloaded. For example - I have the freedom to reply to your comment if I choose. The concept of freely choosing to take or not take an action is surely meaningful. I'll assume that you're not making the statement literally, that 'freedom.... could [not] possibly ever mean anything', and instead ask /which/ meaning of the word 'freedom' do you believe to be an eternally-meaningless self-deception?
