AnonLifeForm Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 The truth is so much simpler to wrap up. You even mentioned your definition of free will so that is compatible the last few times. I hope you make it through. A whole made purely of deterministic parts is always purely deterministic. Also, determinism is the DESIRED truth, because only by someone's material state determining actions can you congratulate or shame him. If it was something else that caused actions, it was not him. All the things that make him unique, that differentiate him, that make him more or less valuable, are characteristics and they only exist because they determine his behavior. An attribute of anything that does not determine its behavior is by definition non-existent. Sure perhaps there is some randomness but I wouldn't feel bad if there weren't; I sure hope there isn't too much or it would be a mad universe.
