Overall I agree with this comment. A determinist would take this position even further and argue that there is nothing left that we could be in control of - it is causes and effects and maybe some randomness all the way down. Even those things we think are our free choices.
- Quekid5 1y agoThat's the thing about free choice. I don't believe it fundamentally exists, but I can't help behaving as if it does.
- psychoslave 1y agoYes, that’s the ultimate argument against determinism. Either one actually sincerely believe in determinism and trying to convince someone else they are wrong about free-will are just displaying their inability to take their hypothesis to its full conclusion, or they are just trying to dispel their own doubts by bending other people opinions.
- bregma 1y agoYou can always choose to believe free choice does exist. In fact it's almost mandatory to do so just to get by.
