“I had no choice but to write the book” is not a coherent response to the claim that he betrays a personal belief in Free Will via his stated motivation for writing the book.
- lern_too_spel 3y agoHe had no choice but to state the motivation he stated.
- avgcorrection 3y agoNon sequitur.
- lern_too_spel 3y agoIt follows directly from lack of free will. Lack of free will does not mean that the author makes correct statements about his beliefs all the time.
- avgcorrection 3y agoThen you are making an irrelevant statement about the causality of him writing a book. Not about how his apparent belief is incoherent or not. Thus a non sequitur.
- lern_too_spel 3y agoI understand what you're saying now. Thanks for spelling out what you meant by your previous comment. A better response would have been if I spelled out that persuading people not to believe in free will does not require the persuader to believe in free will.
