determinism is for brainlets
stop rationalizing away the self in bad faith
abandon your archetypal persona assigned to you by the collective unconcious

real nigga shit t b h
free will is for brainlets who fail to navigate causal webs, ecology, and the fourth dimension
the only thing only thing that can be really percieved as random are genetic mutations, but even those have causes
the existence of free will is painfully obvious
>>9319571
If you've been causally guided to find it obvious, yes.
There's no free or unfree will. There's just Will.
Notions of 'free' or 'unfree' imply agency. My will is unfree if a stronger will compels and overrides it. Can anyone provide any evidence for such a will?
>>9319586
determinism is to free will as cold is to heat and darkness is to light
we can only conceive of the one due to the existence of the other
>>9319622
>>9319235
We are determinant but our determinism is fundamentally unobservable so for all intents and purposes we have free will
>>9319235
Who cares?
>>9319636
man is a 'creative' being but he cannot create nor imagine anything truly new. Try to imagine a new color, or a new property of matter- it's impossible. Our thought is confined to the realm of pre-existing concepts. We can combine, transmute, delete, but not create.

Do we agree that omniscient God and free will can't exist at the same time?
>>9319789
no, only an idiot would think this
determinism is so fucking dumb and an absolutely defenseless idea
>>9319789
this first implies that God's omniscience can be interpreted or understood in any way, which is likely false
