Why don't you ask them?

Do some research. Read up on Stanford. They explain the origin of compatibilism.

No, this is definitively true. Exactly why I almost never use the word belief. It is too vague. Given the vagueness of the definition of belief I do n...

What utter nonsense!! You have made a tragic error of the most basic type; a complete glaring non sequitur.

It only takes one exception to confound the idea that pretends to be morally objective. It has mostly been held to be morally acceptable to kill anoth...

I think a belief is conceptual and concepts are understood linguistically. Without the words there are no beliefs, there are actions, reactions and fe...

Oh yeah!! Where it that? "Ontological Ultimate" is not an expression uttered by Darwin. SO who are you kidding? Chance is a deterministic proposition;...

I think this is a cop-out for lazy people who find it hard to think and would rather find the easy way out of using their brain but want some excuse. ...

I think you will agree that many people hold beliefs for many different reasons, some for no real reason at all except that they have been told as a c...

I really think you are clueless here. Determinism just means that for each effect there are causes. True there is no such thing as chance in an absolu...

Not exactly. As "theism" is a belief, then the "a-" prefix only means to indicate an absence of that belief, not a positive negation, but an absence. ...

I do not have any kind of belief that god exists and I know why I think that way. That makes me an atheist for NOT having a belief. The problem with T...

NOPE. Theist: I believe God exists. Atheist: I do not believe in God. I may believe in something but god is not part of that. Agnostic: I'm an atheist...

Okay what about this. I often read late at night in bed. Sometimes what I read sends my mind off in a different direction and though I do not stop rea...

How does this correlate?

I have no reason to trust the people who manage Bitcoin and neither can anyone else. One thing for sure, these people are unimaginably rich in real mo...

1) There is no account from 'occasionalism' which can account for a knock out 2) Idealism is not the caricature you want it to be. Idealism simply giv...

This is an interesting question. I've often found myself arrive at a destination with a fully fledged plan, devised whilst on the journey, of who to m...

What a cunt. Black wanna be.

No, there is not one single definition of free will. Since we are want to employ the idea of free will commonly, the Compatibilist simply says what fr...

If you are lucky enough to live in a society that can afford to provide you dignity.

You have proved nothing. Please define compatibilism and I can show you how you have misunderstood the idea. I'm afraid you cannot put morality aside ...

I see you can't answer the question. Yawn!!

How droll. First an ad hominem before your scathing and empty denial. Ho fucking Hum lol. Now show me the gene that says "I'm English"

This sort of misbegotten hyperbole is an example of the crazy world of Gusto.

I think Kant would be as confused at your thinking as others are.

Thanks for the non sequitur.

I've thought about this one for some time. France gets its name from the Franks, another Germanic tribe. The consequences for the language were that G...

Take care because the POV that forms this opinion lies behind everything I think. If you agree here you may find yourself succumbing to other ideas I ...

Nah! You can't run a country with a slide-rule. People use their own cultural logic and you ignore it at your peril. Your way lies Soyent Green.

Ideas do not have instances in reality. Ideas can only attempt to represent reality, or try to describe it.

None of these categories have any genetic meaning, and all arguments about %age are circular. These are mDNA studies and are not genomic.

I have a degree in ancient history and archaeology and a Masters in Intellectual History. This sort of discussion is the scourge of humanity. It is of...

Sorry I have no idea what you mean here. You do not let off a tiger determined to kill you. If the tiger is responsible for killing humans, then you h...

Get a life. I've no idea what is wrong with your ability to think.

You reject compatibilism, but you are actually rejecting the concept of non deterministic free will. A compatibilist is a determinist. Compatibilists ...

No - you are misconceiving it.

Have you any reason to suppose that what we see in nature does not also apply to us? The assertion of the idea that necessity; the rule of cause and e...

That's what I have been saying all along, obviously. Go back and read your first post.

There is no "IT". It is just an abstraction you are conceptualizing.

GOD? LOL

You mean that an agent is free from necessity! Yes. we are not free of necessity. This is where the perspective of compatibilism comes in. We observe ...

There are no integers in reality since everything is unique. Whatever we chose to nominate as a thing, there is no other thing that is the same as tha...

A conscious decision is one we know we have made. I see no problem here at all.

??? Are you trying say there are no acts of will? Or that they are not apparent, but real?

Are you saying that individual human agents are free from necessity? The chains of causality are not initiated except by the big bang, and maybe not e...

Determinism is true and when we punish for a crime we punishwho the person is, and not just what they did. That suggests that the penal system would w...

I utterly disagree. On the contrary. A determinist knows that all things are the result of causes. If you want to effect a change in a person then you...

I have had cancer and am over it, for the time being. Thanks for your kind thoughts but I was talking HYPOTHETICALLY, but from some experience.
