I do. Compatibilism simply means that free will and determinism are compatible concepts. There is nothing to discuss if you are not sure whether deter...

How could you be compatibilist and at the same time agnostic about determinism?

Thanks, I was familiar with the delayed-choice quantum erasure experiment. De Broglie–Bohm interpretation can simply address this paradox as you can f...

The wave function does not collapse randomly. It just collapses when a measurement is done on the system.

No problem, mate. :wink:

It is. The cat in the box cannot be in both states of alive and dead.

It is not at all random. Randomness only exists in other interpretations, Copenhagen interpretation for example.

I think it is the right thread to discuss this issue since you are using an interpretation of quantum mechanics for the sake of your argument which is...

Then why don't accept the De Broglie–Bohm interprertation which is paredox free and determinsitic?

If you with quantum crap mean the Copenhagen interpretation then it suffers from many paradoxes such as Schrodinger's cat paradox and particle-wave du...

I think they got it right. Why bothering to discuss compatibilism if it does not matter that the world is deterministic or not? Where do you think tha...

Why?

Yes. Well, if you deny determinism then there is nothing to discuss when it comes to compatibilism.

But compatibilism is about the existence of free will in a deterministic world rather than a random world.

Adding a little randomness to the world means that it is not deterministic anymore.

I know what compatibilism means. Compatibilism is however nonsensical.

It is. If you have some other view in your mind please be more specific and use other terminology.

Cool. I think we first have to agree on how options could be real in a determinist world. Once that is established then we could understand that decis...

So to you, the world should be deterministic. Why do you bother with randomness?

Aren't you a compatibilist?

You didn't say that. You said that two options are determined or random. I then mentioned that options cannot be random or determined. What is the thi...

What do you mean?

Options cannot be random or determined. Whether the decision is random or determined is another topic. I however argue that decisions cannot be genera...

I am asking this question to argue that the mind is not a determined entity. If you have one option, then you just follow it. The future however is un...

Could you decide before you are presented with options?

Let me put it this way: How could the mind be determined before realizing options?

Well, if the mind was determined then you could not possibly decide in a situation with two options. We also don't toss a coin when we decide. We just...

No, I am talking about what I wrote in this thread.

Did you read my explanation? The mind is not determined or random.

I think we can eliminate all troubles if we accept a form of substance dualism, in which matter is deterministic, whereas the mind can experience opti...
