  1. OK cool, I did not know that thats the correct label for my view. Thank you for pointing that out, I guess I'm a Compatibilist. So what part about Compatibilism is inconsistent? My argument is that determinism is true, but only on the most universal level and sometimes locally. Free will is true, but not always. For People, humans, free will exists only when they make choices. But we can't make choices literally all the time (our brains would at some point be too big and too expensive) so we create rules instead. The rules allows us to "act" deterministically by just using a IF/THEN rule. Let me know if you want me to unpack something further.
  2. Wow, that appears to be a NAP compliant solution, so good news?
  3. 1. is true. 2. Is false, something something philosophy words logic etc, therefore 3 and 4 are also invalid. The fact is that suppression of speech can be a useful tool, but it is a blunt tool and there are often much efficient (i.e. violates NAP less, locally and globally). We all know that putting people who speak the truth in jail to be insane. But we also need to be aware that there are real fear mongers out there (fear mongers are people who convince other people that their fears are larger than they actually are), and currently putting youtubers in jail is the best solution that the ruling class currently have provided to the people. But the people has a better solution or knows that there's a better solution out there so they will look for it or make noise. One very local solution, of course, is to move to a place that doesn't have those oppressive laws.
  4. Oh wow, I just realized how this forum works. More evidence to my argument was literally on the post below this post. I'm happy to be here. Here's the link to more evidence:
  5. This is true, as evidence above will show. The truth is that someone else wants to fight this war, so all we have to do is to find that man and stop him. OR we can actually believe that Trump won't escalate to the point of war. And if we don't trust Trump, then we can get the evidence necessary to show whether or not Trump will escalate the war to the point of war. I can continue to unpack this, let me know.
  6. Determinism and Free Will are both true, however determinism is only true for the system as a whole, aka the universe. In most other situations free will apply. Let me know if you wish me to unpack anything in my statement.
  7. Here's my argument: Arguments that appeal to the emotions of other people are valid arguments. Why? Because they CAN be used to convince people, which is the purpose of an argument. The problem is that Emotional Arguments often violate other clear rules of philosophy, but they can be constructed to actually point to the truth. Thank you for reading, let me know if you have any ideas or comments below.
