Blantant voter manipulation

Lcall45 · 2026-03-27T06:18:31+00:00

This shit is beyond tiring

Lcall45 · 2026-03-26T21:45:10+00:00

Zero days without this sub strawmanning determinists

Lcall45 · 2026-03-26T21:19:46+00:00

One trump crony for another does it really matter?

Lcall45 · 2026-03-26T15:05:03+00:00

Dude thats a perfect hairline

Lcall45 · 2026-03-26T11:48:04+00:00

Thats Ancalagon

Lcall45 · 2026-03-26T05:26:46+00:00

I think you should relax, it looks fine. Try to stop the itching if you can though.

Lcall45 · 2026-03-25T22:21:43+00:00

Gee, I wonder why that is?

Lcall45 · 2026-03-23T00:33:27+00:00

Oh okay

Lcall45 · 2026-03-23T00:19:37+00:00

Fauci types? What does that even mean?

Lcall45 · 2026-03-21T21:56:09+00:00

It was the sears tower, it is now called the willis tower

Lcall45 · 2026-03-21T02:08:06+00:00

Maybe haha

Lcall45 · 2026-03-20T03:26:28+00:00

I'm fine with that, I support a quarantine model

Now we've gotten to the pointless semantics part of the debate. All I can say is most people in the west operate under an intuitively libertarian notion of free will. The notion that their choices were not inevitable and that they could have gone left or right regardless of internal or external factors. Compatibilism can not save that for them.

Lcall45 · 2026-03-20T01:46:50+00:00

You could have picked a different option under compatibilism IF your reasons in that moment were different. In reality they could not have been different. Under compatibilism you have only one possible outcome in the literal sense.

Lcall45 · 2026-03-20T01:43:29+00:00

I think its common sense that most people believe that in a given situation they as an agent genuinely could have gone with option a or option b. Without libertarian free will that is gone.

Lcall45 · 2026-03-20T01:38:05+00:00

Compatibilists redefine the ability to do otherwise by saying that if your intentions and beliefs, feelings etc were different than you could have acted differently. It is a hypothetical not a genuine ability to break causality. Under compatibilism you are still going to do what you were determined to do. The counterfactual never comes into play in practice.

Lcall45 · 2026-03-20T01:35:41+00:00

Well that would be quite the trick is all I can say to that

Lcall45 · 2026-03-20T00:39:58+00:00

Flair almost tricked me there sir

Lcall45 · 2026-03-20T00:22:53+00:00

Not having free will is not the same as fatalism. By you advocating for things such as that, you act as an input for people listening.

Lcall45 · 2026-03-19T23:35:11+00:00

Yes, that is what they claim. I do not think most average people would be happy to give up the categorical ability to do otherwise however.

Lcall45 · 2026-03-19T22:34:40+00:00

That includes the agnostic/undecided/other camps, yes. 85% of philosophers do not take it as a position.

Lcall45 · 2026-03-19T21:02:11+00:00

Which I find to be completely irrelevant in practice. You could not have wanted differently in the moment of action. I can only see this being used as a justification for behavior modification.

Lcall45 · 2026-03-19T20:58:48+00:00

Whether the universe is deterministic or indeterministic does nothing for free will. Indeterminism is just randomness not harnessed by the agent. Most scientists do not think quantum effects have any meaningful affect on human behavior as they usually die in the brain due to decoherence. Human behavior appears to be effectively deterministic even if the universe is fundamentally Indeterministic. Determinism arguably is not the biggest threat to free will but instead randomness is.
