Look at the other side. Everything is determined. What does it explain? Nothing really. Everyone's lives from birth to death are completely determined...

Proof other than methodological consistency. The quantum model rejects determinism. That is, regularities in nature do not prove necessity.
June 21, 2022 at 22:25
Newton and others invented the idea that nature is deterministic. They never proved it.
June 21, 2022 at 22:19
Possible, but proves nothing. Like saying, because you're tall (I am) you're likely to bump your head (I have).
June 21, 2022 at 22:14
Please explain. I chose to come on to the forum and see your post. What "forces" made me do that?
June 21, 2022 at 22:01
Good point, well argued.
June 21, 2022 at 21:49
I decided to change my shirt. Therefore I have free will.
June 21, 2022 at 03:16
Clearly you support Trump's coup attempt.
June 21, 2022 at 03:11
Agree. Good point.
June 21, 2022 at 02:36
Agree. How corrupt has our nation become if a violent coup cannot wake them from their slumber.

A basketball is spherical. The material is leather. The form is a sphere.

The world is just a thought in the mind of God. And yet, Berkeley was also an empiricist.
June 21, 2022 at 02:13
Trump attempted a violent coup.
June 20, 2022 at 23:39
The media farce of Trump's violent coup attempt?
June 20, 2022 at 23:29
Trump and the GOP tried a coup. The House Democrats are trying to get Trump indicted for crimes. I would say there is a profound difference between th...
June 20, 2022 at 23:23
ok
June 20, 2022 at 23:00
No. I never had that experience.
June 20, 2022 at 22:55
Agree.
June 20, 2022 at 21:50
My times with LSD have been profound.
June 20, 2022 at 21:33
Which is why I do not find debates about free will very enlightening.
June 20, 2022 at 19:03
Evil is a theological concept. Newton stated that God caused the physical laws of science. It is not a casual association of deterministic science and...
June 20, 2022 at 18:55
Yes. Which is always how I've lived my life. The deterministic model never made sense to me.
June 20, 2022 at 18:48
Quantum mechanics refutes the deterministic model of classical physics.
June 20, 2022 at 18:43
Or Churchill.
June 20, 2022 at 18:26
Only for physicalists.
June 20, 2022 at 18:04
Passivity. Notice, you only told me to look at the video. You made no argument and did not address my comment.
June 20, 2022 at 17:48
You certainly must know many people read philosophy books and journal articles addressing free will.
June 20, 2022 at 17:36
I never watch videos. Nothing personal.
June 20, 2022 at 17:20
I actually do not understand the idea we have no free will. I chose to respond. That is all I mean by free will. Not some metaphysical or psychologica...
June 20, 2022 at 17:00
I have free will to respond. I did not have to. Otherwise, I do not know what you mean by free will.
June 20, 2022 at 15:53
Democrats impeached Trump twice. How are they the same party?
June 20, 2022 at 15:33
Freud was said to be a regular cocaine user.
June 20, 2022 at 14:58
LSD was very educational.
June 20, 2022 at 03:01
Adam Schiff has said the DOJ should have been doing their own investigation. Trump should have been indicted by now.
June 20, 2022 at 02:44
One motive: Delegitimize the election. There is not a single bit of evidence the election was improper.
June 20, 2022 at 02:27
Same. The right wing thinks our government is not legitimate and thinks Trump needs to be a dictator.
June 20, 2022 at 02:20
Then don't read my posts. All you do is make personal attacks. Goodbye.
June 20, 2022 at 01:47
Agree. Biden talks more about Ukraine than his own country.
June 20, 2022 at 01:41
I know the difference. You failed to refute what I said.
June 20, 2022 at 01:34
Depends whether AG Garland prosecutes Trump. He must.
June 19, 2022 at 23:03
What do you mean by "grounds?" I answered the question and you keep posing it again.
June 19, 2022 at 22:42
That Trump won, not Biden. I said that. I must not be understanding you at all.
June 19, 2022 at 22:33
Sorry, I do not understand that sentence.
June 19, 2022 at 22:27
Not sure what you are asking for. Since the time of Plato, belief just meant weak knowledge. Not seeing much of philosophical interest beyond that. Or...
June 19, 2022 at 22:22
Based on they want power and want to delegitimize all existing norms.
June 19, 2022 at 22:17
Doubt in the legitimacy of the government. Not coming from Democrats.
